Özet
Akademik yazma yükseköğretim kurumlarında öğrencilerin ve akademisyenlerin çok sık kullandıkları bir yazma çeşididir. Dilin, edebî, estetik veya kurmaca diyebileceğimiz kullanımlarından farklı olduğu gibi gündelik dil kullanımlarından da birçok özelliği ile ayrılmaktadır. Ülkemize farklı ülkelerden gelen binlerce öğrenci, yükseköğrenimlerini gerçekleştirirken kullanacakları bir düzeyde Türkçe öğrenmeleri gerekir. Bu bakımdan akademik yazma becerilerinin geliştirilmesi yabancı uyruklu öğrenciler için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin akademik yazma ihtiyaçları ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması olarak desenlenen bu araştırmada yabancı uyruklu 22 öğrenci ile odak grup görüşmeleri yapılmış, bu öğrencilerin yazılı anlatımları incelenmiştir. TÖMER'de derse giren üç okutman ve yükseköğrenimlerde yabancı uyruklu öğrencilere ders vermiş üç öğretim üyesi ile görüşülmüş ve öğrencilerin akademik yazma ihtiyaçları ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Öğrencilerin nitelikli başlık ve akademik kelime kullanamama, kelime yazım sorunları, devrik cümle, akademik cümle kuramama, planlama, paragraf yapılarını organize edememe sorunlarının olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.
