ÖNERİ KONULU BİR DERS KİTABI ETKİNLİĞİNİN HYMES’IN SPEAKING ÇERÇEVESİNE GÖRE İNCELENMESI VE UYARLANMASI

Öz

Söz edimlerini öğretmek ve bu amaçla etkinlikler tasarlamak son yıllarda büyük ilgi görmektedir. Bu yapıların dil kullanımında ve dolayısıyla dil öğretiminde önemli bir rol oynadıkları anlaşılmıştır. Mevcut çalışma, Cutting Edge Pre-Intermediate (2017) seviyesindeki kitaptaki tavsiye verme için tasarlanmış belirli bir materyalin, 1974'te Hymes tarafından önerilen SPEAKING çerçevesine göre iyi tasarlanmış olup olmadığını araştırmaktadır. Bu çerçeve, bir konuşma olayının altında yatan konuşma bileşenleri olan edim bilimsel unsurların dil öğretim materyallerine dahil edilmesine odaklanmaktadır. Bu amaçla, SPEAKING çerçevesi ışığında materyalin detaylı analizinden sonra, ders kitabı materyalinin ortam, katılımcılar, tür ve dil kullanımı gibi belirli edim bilimsel unsurlardan yoksun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle, materyal uyarlaması yapıldı ve bu materyal uyarlaması, anadili İngilizce olan iki İngilizce eğitmeni ve ana dili İngilizce olmayan beş İngilizce eğitmeni tarafından kontrol edilmiştir. Eğitmenlerden gelen geri bildirimlere dayanarak, materyal daha da değiştirilmiş ve sonlandırılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Eğitimsel edim bilim
• Edim bilimsel yetkinlik
• Ders kitabı materyali uyarlama
• Dil eylem

THE ANALYSIS OF A TEXTBOOK ACTIVITY ON SUGGESTIONS ACCORDING TO SPEAKING FRAMEWORK BY HYMES AND ITS ADAPTATION

Öz

Teaching speech acts and designing activities for this purpose has gained massive attention in recent years. It is realized that they play an essential role in language use and consequently in language teaching. The current study investigates if a specific material designed to teach suggestions in Cutting Edge Pre-Intermediate (2017) level book is well-designed according to the SPEAKING framework proposed by Hymes in 1974. This framework focuses on the inclusion of pragmatic elements, which are the speech components that underlie a speech event in language teaching materials. To this end, after the detailed analysis of the material in the light of the SPEAKING framework, it was found that the coursebook material lacks certain pragmatic elements such as setting, participants, genre, and language use. Therefore, the material was further adapted, and the material adaptation was checked by two native speaker English language instructors and five non-native English language instructors. Based on the feedback from the instructors, the material was further modified and finalized.
