Öz

Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından altıncı sınıflar için geliştirilmiş ve uygulanmakta olan bir İngilizce ders kitabı olan Quick Step 6’nın incelenmesi sonucu, bu kitabın bazı yönlerden amaçlanan hedeflere ve bilimsel araştırmaların ortaya koyduğu öğretilere uymadığı gözlenmektedir. Sınıf içi kullanım için geliştirilen ve bakanlıkça önerilen bu kitapta, dilin kullanıldığı kültürden ve/veya gerçek hayattan alınmış yazılı ve seslendirilmiş metinler yerine çok dar bir açıdan planlanmış ve dilin sadece pedagojik açıdan incelenmesine imkan veren yapaylıkta metin ve alıştırmalara rastlanmaktadır. Bu tür basitleştirilmiş ve dilin doğal bağlamından koparılarak kısaltılmış metinler yabancı dil öğrenimini zorlaştırıp, öğrenme zevkini körleştirmektedir. İlk öğretim öğrencilerine yabancı dili sevdirmek için, zeka yaşlarını ve ilgi alanlarını dikkate alarak uygulamalı ve öğrenci merkezli geliştirilmiş kitaplara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu makalede yabancı dil öğrenim kitaplarının yazılımında benimsenmesi gereken genel ilkelerin yanında özgün metin ve özgün görev kavramlarının tanımları verilmekte, ve bunu takiben yukarıda belirtilen kitap bu kavramlara uygunluk açısından eleştirel bir bakış açısı ile ele alınmaktadır

The Significance of Using Authentic Tasks and Texts in Language Teaching Materials: Study of a Course Book

Yıl 2008, Cilt: 7 Sayı: 1, 149 - 164, 01.06.2008

Öz

As a result of examining an English course book developed for sixth graders and promoted by the Ministry of Education, “Quick Step 6”, the general observation of the present authors has been that the mentioned book fails to meet the standards established by research in the field of language teaching and materials development, as well as the needs of the students it aims to serve. This book has given priority to texts and tasks which have been artificially designed with very narrow pedagogical concerns. The contents of the texts and tasks ignore elements of the target culture and do not carry the features of authentic language use. Such simplified texts are deprived of their natural context and rich language variety, making language learning a difficult and demotivating task. There is a great need for books which takes into consideration the intelligence level and interest areas of learners in constructing studentscentered and student-initiated activities. This article starts with a summary of the basic principles to follow in developing language teaching materials, and continues with definitions of authentic texts and authentic tasks. Lastly, Quick Step 6 is examined with a view to the authenticity of its texts and tasks
