LISTENING IN 12th-GRADE COURSEBOOKS: TYPES OF LISTENING TASKS
Öz
Listening skills are essential in the educational context of Turkiye. At each educational level, coursebooks, listening materials, and audio-visual aids are used to improve students’ listening skills. The types, frequencies, and durations of listening activities were the main points of the study. Two 12th-grade English language coursebooks used in state schools in Turkiye and issued by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) were chosen to analyze listening activities. Throughout the analysis, activities under listening sections were put into categories according to Gu and Hu’s (2018) framework in their study titled “Types of Listening”. The listening types are selective, transactional, interactional, interactive, intensive, responsive, extensive, and autonomous. According to the findings, intensive listening activities are the most common type in both coursebooks, which signifies a bottom-up over top-down approach to listening. Selective and transactional activities come right after intensive listening activities in the rankings, showing an initiative to integrate listening with speaking within a bottom-up framework. Conversely, responsive, extensive, and autonomous listening activities are non-existent in both coursebooks for unknown reasons.
