    Designing Effective, Contemporary Assessment on a Flipped Educational Sciences Course
    (Routledge, 2018) Caroline Fell Kurban; Fell Kurban, Caroline; Kurban, Caroline Fell
    Evidence shows flipped learning increases academic performance and student satisfaction. Yet, often practitioners flip instruction but keep traditional curricula and assessment. Assessment in higher education is often via written exams. But these provide limited feedback and do not ask students to put knowledge into practice. This does not support the tenets of flipped learning. For two years, the author flipped instruction but retained traditional curricula and assessment. However, on the author’s current course, all three aspects were redesigned to better support flipped learning. The aim of this research is to test the effectiveness of this redesign regarding student engagement and satisfaction. Thus, it is asked: How, on this course, can meaningful, continuous assessment be provided as well as effective, personalized feedback, while staying in line with the philosophy of flipped learning? Action research took place from September 2016 to June 2017. Quantitative data from a student survey, and qualitative data from a research diary and student focus group were gathered. What emerged is: a little-and-often assessment approach is effective for learning and engagement; tasks must be authentic and test demonstration of knowledge, not memory; quality, not quantity, is key for student learning; and students desire individualized feedback. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    Second Language Motivational Self System of Sixth Graders in Turkey: a Correlational Study
    (Wiley, 2021) Çiftçi, Hatime; Arslan, Tugba
    Investigating the foreign and second language (L2) motivational self system (L2MSS) of Turkish sixth graders, this study reports relationships among three components (ideal L2 self, ought-to L2 self, and L2 learning experience) of the L2MSS and the variables of school type (public and private), gender, and intended effort. Data were collected from 170 students in two public and two private secondary schools in northwestern Turkey through a questionnaire. The results of correlation analysis indicate a strong positive correlation between ideal L2 self and L2 learning experience, and the variables of school type and gender did not make a difference. Intended effort was found to have a strong positive correlation with these L2MSS components. The results of multiple regression analysis provide further evidence for especially intended effort as a significant predictor of L2MSS, whereas the school type and gender did not contribute to the system. The major implications of the study and future research possibilities are discussed.

    Teaching Literature With Elf Paradigm in Elt Classrooms
    (Taylor and Francis, 2023) Tülüce, Hande Serdar; Altınmakas, Derya
    This chapter shows how teachers can utilise literary texts in their language classrooms to unearth the potential of the ELF paradigm in promoting general and critical language awareness and preparing students for the complex and diversified socio-linguistic reality of the 21st century. Earlier discussions of integrating literature in EFL classrooms mainly emphasised the use of literary texts as supplementary materials to ELT coursebooks to reinforce learners’ linguistic knowledge and enhance their understanding of the target language and culture, particularly British and/or American. The current status of ELF challenges the taken-for-granted approaches to selecting and using literary texts in language classrooms, and thus the use of literature in language teaching is in need of rejuvenation. Considering the dynamics and the reality of communication in ELF contexts, language learners today need to be familiarised with the unfamiliar and different ecosystems. The chapter presents literature-based activities designed using two short stories and two novels written by multilingual authors, which can be used with secondary school and university students with B1+ levels of proficiency.

    Why "sway" Again? Prosodic Constraints and Singability in Song (re)translation
    (Springer, 2019) Güven, Mine
    This study focuses on the song ?Quien sera? (1953, lyrics by Pablo Beltran Ruiz and music by Pablo Beltran Ruiz and Luis Demetrio Traconis Molina), which has had many language versions so far (e.g. Arabic, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, etc.), including the English Sway (1954, lyrics by Norman Gimbel), which is often erroneously thought to be the original. The lyrics have also been rewritten in Turkish by Fecri Ebcioglu in 1968/1987, Yesil Giresunlu in 1977, and Athena in 2000. With particular reference to Johan Franzon's analysis of song translation, the present article analyzes the Turkish versions in an attempt to investigate the possible constraints behind the decisions taken by the various agents of the cultural import. Given that a translated version of a source song is expected to reproduce the music and/or the lyrics and/or the sung performance, the Turkish versions appear to be adaptations with rewritten lyrics, which enable a reproduction of the melody and a sung performance similar to that of the source song. The data analysis further suggests that prosodic constraints rank the highest among the layers of singability and that translators' attitude towards the literary quality of the original lyrics might influence their decision to adopt assimilating strategies or not.

    English as a Medium of Instruction: Students' Strategies
    (Oxford University Press, 2017) Griffiths, Carol; Soruç, Adem
    Although English-medium instruction (EMI) is now widely spread throughout the world, there is surprisingly little research into the challenges students face as they try to learn subject matter by means of a non-native language, or how learners attempt to address these challenges. The study reported in this article employed a qualitative approach, using video-recording, an open-ended questionnaire, and stimulated-recall interviews to investigate the difficulties faced by students working in International Relations and Psychology classes in a Turkish university. The students were also asked to identify the strategies they used in an attempt to cope with these difficulties. The students were indeed able to list a number of difficulties, but numerous strategies were also suggested to deal with the problems they faced. Implications are suggested for student support and teacher training, as well as suggestions for ongoing research.

    Levels or Stages of Word Knowledge
    (Wiley, 2018) Bush, Jerome
    Vocabulary knowledge can be seen as existing on a continuum from unknown to mastery.How well a student knows a word has been referred to as “depth” of vocabularyknowledge, as opposed to “breadth” of knowledge, which is the number of wordsknown. Several scales have been developed that describe the levels or stages of vocabularyknowledge. Teachers have a limited time in which to teach vocabulary. Therefore,they should adopt a strategic perspective and train students to develop vocabularyacquisition systems. Teachers would do well to foster fascination with words and sparkcuriosity within their students. Then they will be able to develop independent learnerswho will be successful in acquiring vocabulary knowledge.

    Sesli Betimleme Araştırmalarında Güncel Yönelimler
    (BÜTEK Boğaziçi Eğitim Turizm Teknopark Uygulama ve Dan. Hiz. San. Tic. A.Ş., 2018) Güven, Mine
    Bu tanıtım yazısının amacı, dünyada sesli betimleme konusunda yürütülen araştırmalardaki güncel yönelimlerden yola çıkarak Türkiye’de sesli betimleme konusunda dilbilim bağlamında gerçekleştirilebilecek bilimsel araştırma ve etkinlikler için genel bir çerçeve çizmektir. Uluslararası alanyazınındaki araştırmalar, sesli betimlemenin üretim, iletim ve tüketim aşamalarına yoğunlaşmaktadır. Üretim aşamasıyla ilgili görsel-işitsel ürün/ortam, sesli betimleme türevleri, metnin nitelikleri ve dili, betimlemeci yetkinlikleri ve eğitimi, metin üretim zamanı, metin üretim yöntemi ve metnin seslendirilmesi konularına değinilmiştir. İletim aşamasıyla ilgili, analog ve sayısal televizyon bağlamında iletim teknolojileriyle çeşitli ortamlardaki alıcı aygıtı olanakları tartışılmıştır. Tüketim aşamasıyla ilgili olaraksa metnin kullanıcı tarafından alımlanması, deneysel çalışmalar bağlamında algısal ve bilişsel yönleriyle ele alınmıştır. Sesli betimleme araştırmalarındaki bu yönelimlerin dikkate alınması, Türkiye’deki dilbilimsel sesli betimleme çalışmaları açısından yol gösterici olabileceği gibi Türkçeye özgü en iyi uygulamaların oluşmasına da katkıda bulunabilir.
