Bir dilin en anlamlı birimi “kelime” olarak adlandırılabilir. Sadece kelimeleri kullanarak, dilbilgisel yapılara başvurmadan da belli ölçüde iletişim kurmak mümkündür. Bu nedenle, bir dilde en sık kullanılan kelimelerin öğrenilmesi ve öğretilmesi önemlidir. Kelime öğreniminde en çok kullanılan beceri ise okuma becerisidir. Basitleştirilmiş kitaplar, okuma becerisini edinmede başvurulan temel kaynaklardır. Çalışmamızda, CEFR kelime listesinde yer alan kelimelerin öğretimi sürecinde eğitmenler tarafından önerilen kitap veya okuma materyallerinin öğrencilerin düzeylerine uygun olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla web tabanlı bir uygulama geliştirmek hedeflenmiştir. Sistem Geliştirme Yaşam Döngüsü (SGYD) yöntemiyle geliştirilen bu uygulamanın bir karar destek sistemi olarak kullanılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bilindiği üzere, öğrencinin seviyesine uygun olmayan kitaplar öğrenme sürecini olumsuz etkileyebilmekte, hatta bazı durumlarda öğrencinin okuma sürecini tamamen sonlandırarak öğrenme amacının bozulmasına yol açabilmektedir.

Web-Programming Techniques in Determining the CEFR Levels of English Books

We can call the most meaningful unit of a language a word. It is possible to communicate with a person to a certain extent by using only words, without using grammatical structures. Therefore, it is important to learn and teach the most frequently used vocabulary of a language. The most important skill used in learning words is reading. Simplified books are the primary sources available for acquiring reading skills. Our aim in our study is to prepare a web-based application to determine whether the books or reading materials recommended by instructors in the process of teaching words in the CEFR word list are appropriate for the students' levels and to use this application, which is developed with the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), as a decision support system. As it is known, books that are not appropriate for the students' levels negatively affect the learning process and even end the student's reading process in some cases, which spoils the purpose of the learning process.
