DİL ÖĞRETİMİNDE SANAL GERÇEKLİK UYGULAMALARININ KULLANIMI

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı dil öğretimi bağlamında sanal gerçeklik teknolojisi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiş araştırmaların incelenmesi ve dil öğretimine yansımalarının tespit edilmesidir. Nitel araştırmanın doğasına uygun olarak yürütülen bu araştırmada verilerin toplanması için doküman analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Veriler, Web of Science’da taranan ve dil öğretiminde sanal gerçeklik uygulamalarının kullanıldığı makaleler incelenerek elde edilmiştir. Yapılan içerik analizi sonucunda, incelenen makalelerde örneklem olarak en çok lise ve lisans düzeyinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin tercih edildiği görülmüştür. Bunun yanında araştırmaların önemli bir kısmı İngilizcenin ve Çincenin öğretimine yönelik gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmalarda en çok yazma becerisi ve kelime öğretimine odaklanıldığı tespit edilmiştir.İlgili araştırmaların sonuçları incelendiğinde okuma becerisi bağlamında olumsuz sonuçların daha fazla olduğu görülmüştür. Buna karşın dinleme becerisi, konuşma becerisi, yazma becerisi, dil bilgisi öğretimi ve kelime öğretimine yönelik yapılan araştırmalarda sanal gerçeklik destekli etkinliklerin olumlu sonuçlar ortaya çıkardığı tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar farklı indekslerde taranan makalelerin sonuçlarıyla beraber tartışılmış ve çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.
