Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the textbook Breeze published by the Ministry of National Education in terms of the A2 level criteria determined as determined in the European Language Portfolio. To this end, the textbook is firstly analyzed in general in terms of the total number of tasks, their distribution among five skills, communicative approach, learner autonomy, student-centeredness, pair/group work and authentic text use. Then the A2 level descriptors taken from the language biography component of the European Language Portfolio are formed into a checklist and a detailed quantitative analysis and evaluation of the textbook are performed through this checklist. The results of these analyses suggest that the textbook partly meets the A2 level criteria both in quantitative and qualitative sense.

Özet

Bu çalı!mada, Milli E$itim Bakanlı$ı tarafından yayımlanan Breeze adlı ders kitabının Avrupa Dil Geli!im Dosyasında tanımlanan A2 düzeyindeki ölçütler açısından de$erlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla, ders kitabı öncelikle toplam etkinlik sayısı, bu etkinliklerin becerilere göre da$ılımı, ileti!imsel yakla!ım, ö$renen özerkli$i, ö$renci merkezlilik, ikili çalı!ma/grup çalı!ması ve özgün metin kullanımı açıcından genel olarak incelenmi!tir. Daha sonra, Avrupa Dil Geli!im Dosyasının dil biyografisi bile!eninden alınan A2 düzeyindeki tanımlayıcılar bir kontrol listesine dönü!türülmü! ve bu kontrol listesi kullanılarak kitabın ayrıntılı incelemesi ve de$erlendirmesi yapılmı!tır. Bu analizler yoluyla elde edilen sonuçlar, ders kitabının hem nitel hem nicel anlamda A2 düzeyindeki ölçütleri kısmen kar!ıladı$ını göstermektedir.
