Uluslararası sahada ticaretten medyaya kadar pek çok alanda kullanılan İngilizce,
dünyada ortak iletişim dili olarak görülmekte ve uluslar arası alanda iletişimin
artmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Buna paralel olarak, İngilizce Türkiye de iletişim ve
gelişme aracı olarak önemli bir yer edinmektedir. Bu çalışma üniversite hazırlık sınıfı
öğrencilerinin bu etkili dili nasıl algıladıklarını ve bu dile karşı olan tutumlarını tasvir
etmektedir. Çalışmanın verileri röportaj yöntemi ile toplanıp anlam-yoğunlaştırma
yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar öğrencilerin İngilizceyi uluslar arası bir dil
olarak algıladıklarını ve bu dile karşı tutumlarının çok katmanlı olduğunu işaret
etmiştir. Öğrenciler bir yandan İngilizceyi güç sembolü olarak görmekte ve İngilizce
öğrenerek bu güce erişmeyi istemekte, diğer yandan ise İngilizcenin egemenliğini
sorgulamakta ve İngilizceye karşı olumsuz tutum sergilemektedir.
