    Stancetaking in Spoken Elf Discourse in Academic Settings: Interpersonal Functions of I Don’t Know as a Face-Maintaining Strategy
    (Hacettepe University, 2021-04-08) Çiftçi, Hatime; Akbaş, Erdem
    Our study examines interpersonal functions enacted through a stance marker in spoken ELF academic discourse. We specifically focus on investigating the functions of I don’t know in an academic speech event by embracing an interpersonal pragmatics and sociolinguistics perspective to figure out how it contributes to the act of stancetaking as an intersubjective activity. We have examined 14 interactions of doctoral defense discussions from the ELFA corpus. Our detailed discourse analysis of these doctoral defense discussions has revealed five distinctive interpersonal functions of the stance marker I don’t know allowing speakers to construct their stance and adopt a face-maintaining strategy in the ongoing spoken discourse: prefacing a suggestion, seeking acceptance, hedging/mitigating, checking agreement, and expressing uncertainty. Considering the highly-context dependent and context-regenerated functions of I don’t know, our study attempts to delve into the relational and interpersonal aspect of communication, and thus contributes to research in this strand by disclosing the interpersonal functions of stancetaking as an intersubjective activity with a particular focus on ELF academic discourse.

    Second Language Motivational Self System of Sixth Graders in Turkey: a Correlational Study
    (Wiley, 2021-02-24) 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.

    The Effect of Clil Training on Turkish Efl Pre-Service Teachers’ Self-Efficacy Beliefs and Attitudes Towards Clil
    (E.L.E. Publishing, 2020) Kassymov, Guzyal; Çiftçi, Hatime
    This study aims to investigate the effect of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) training on Turkish EFL pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and their attitudes towards CLIL. For this purpose, a group of 28 Turkish pre-service language teachers was trained on CLIL, its theoretical background, aims, principles, strategies for planning and teaching lessons. The data collection tools included a teacher selfefficacy scale, a questionnaire of attitudes and experiences in CLIL, and semistructured interviews. The participants completed pre-tests and post-tests of teacher self-efficacy scale in order to measure the effect of training on their self-efficacy beliefs. Moreover, the participants’ attitudes towards CLIL were explored through the attitudes questionnaire and semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The findings revealed that the introductory CLIL teacher training had a statistically significant effect on selfefficacy beliefs of Turkish EFL pre-service teachers. The participants’ attitudes towards CLIL turned out to be positive as well.
