Bu çalışma Gazi Üniversitesi, Yabancı Diller Yüksekokulunda İngilizce öğreten dil okutmanlarının Kültürlerarası İletişimsel Yeterlilik açısından ders kitabı içeriği konusunda bakış açılarını araştırmıştır. Çalışma 2012- 2013 akademik yılında dil okutmanlarından anket ile alınan bakış açılarının analizine dayanmaktadır. Çalışmaya ilişkin veriler, 20 maddelik ‘Öğretim Materyalleri Değerlendirme Rehberi’ ile elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, ‘English for Life’ isimli ders kitabını öğretim materyali olarak kullanan okutmanlara göre ders kitabının içeriğinin öğrencilerin Kültürlerarası İletişimsel yeterliliklerini artıracak yeterlilikte olmadığını düşündükleri bulunmuştur. Kültürlerarası İletişimsel Yeterliliğin bileşenlerinden tutum, bilgi ve kültürlerarası farkındalık ile ilgili olan bölümlerin sonuçları dil okutmanlarının Kültürlerarası İletişimsel Yeterliliğin alt dallarının ders kitabı içeriğinde sunulmadığını düşündüklerini göstermektedir.

An Investigation on Intercultural Communicative Competence’s Integration Into Textbooks; Language Instructors’ Perspectives

Öz

The purpose of this study is to discover the perceptions of language instructors who teach English at the School of Foreign Languages, Gazi University, about textbooks’ content in terms of ICC. The present study is based on the analysis of language instructors’ perspectives gathered through a questionnaire in 2012- 2013 academic year. The data were obtained by conducting ‘Teaching Materials Evaluation Guide’ with 20 items. As a result of the present research, it was found that language instructors think textbook series of English for Life is not sufficient to enhance language learners’ intercultural competence through its content. Concerning the components of Intercultural Communicative Competence, the results of sections which are related with attitudes, knowledge and intercultural awareness indicate that language instructors believe sub-dimensions of ICC are not included in the units of the textbooks.
