Abstract

We sail through the
21st century where technology has taken a hold in today’s society. With the
influence of innovations in digital technologies, we are embedded in a time
where we can’t spell teach without T-E-C-H as Kevin Jarrett (2008) once said.
Along with developments in language teaching, new approaches have also emerged.
Of all language teaching approaches and methods, CALL (Computer Assisted
Language Learning), which is the search for and study of applications of the
computer in language teaching and learning (Levy, 1997: 1), stands out for
technology integration. Using a case study approach, this study aims to
investigate how incorporating web-based technology into Turkish language
teaching curriculum affects students’ motivation and creativity. Along with the
thoughtful application of second language pedagogy, Web 2.0 tools such as
“Voki, Padlet, Pixton” have been implemented in A2 level Turkish language
classes at Yıldız Technical University TÖMER for 10 class periods. Qualitative
data were collected through multiple data sources, including direct
observations, in/outside class projects, and reflections. Following the
applications, interviews regarding motivation and creativity were held with the
teachers and the students. The main conclusion that can be drawn is that
applied Web 2.0 tools improve students’ motivation, contribute to their
creativity, and provide numerous opportunities for language instructors. The
present findings also confirm that only the effective technology integration
with clear goals and proper methods maximize the potential of these tools.

Abstract

Dil öğretimi sürecine yönelik birçok eğitim
ortamı, günümüzde dijital teknolojilerdeki yeniliklerle bütünleşme eğilimine
girmiştir. Kevin Jarrett'in ifadeleriyle “T-E-C-H (teknoloji) olmadan T-E-A-C-H
(öğretmek)’ten söz edemeyeceğimiz bir zamanın içindeyiz”. Bundan hareketle bu
çalışmada, Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretimi sürecinde oluşturulacak eğitim
ortamlarına teknolojinin entegre edilebilme durumu değerlendirilmiştir. Durum
çalışması yaklaşımına dayanan bu araştırma, Web 2.0 tabanlı teknolojilerin yabancılara
Türkçe öğretimine dahil edilmesinin öğrencilerin motivasyon ve yaratıcılığını
nasıl etkilediğini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma grubu Yıldız Teknik
Üniversitesi TÖMER'de B1 düzeyinde Türkçe öğrenen 10 öğrenci ile
oluşturulmuştur. Web 2.0 araçlarından Voki,
Pixton ve Padlet ile 3 hafta içerisinde 6 ders saati sınıf içi ve 4 ders
saati sınıf dışı uygulama yapılmıştır. Uygulamanın ardından öğrenciler ve dil
öğreticileri ile motivasyon ve yaratıcılığa yönelik görüşmeler
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kullanılan Web 2.0 araçlarının öğrencilerin
motivasyonlarını geliştirdiği, yaratıcılıklarına katkı sağladığı, dil
öğreticilerine esnek imkanlar sunduğu ancak bu araçların amaçlı ve ara ara
kullanılmasının daha faydalı olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
