Abstract

Cognitive, social, cultural, vocational contributions of bilingualism come into prominence in the globalizing world order day by day. Many academic studies are conducted particularly in the countries which have multilingual population structure and/or house immigrants from varying nations. Our study aims to examine language profiles of high school students, live in Denmark, and speak Turkish and Danish, with regards to their language dominance. In Denmark, where nearly 70 thousand of Turkish citizens live, it is necessary to put forth the characteristics of the bilinguals whose mother tongue is Turkish to secure and sustain their Turkish language capabilities. In our study, it has been aimed to identify in which language participants are dominant, with reference to a perspective which regards dominant language as being associated with age, time, period of acquisition and learning each language, language use, language preference, and language histories. Being in line with this goal, participants have been asked to fill out a questionnaire which is prepared in the framework of “A Quick, Gradient Bilingual Dominance Scale” -developed by Alexandra L. Dunn and Jean E. Fox Tree (2009)- and involves dichotomous language dimensions. The data gathered has been classified and statistically evaluated. The basic findings obtained have presented that participants are dominant in Danish language, and besides, there is significant differences among their length of acquisition periods in Turkish and Danish and language use rates of the both languages in home and school contexts. The statistical data acquired at the end of the study have been evaluated within the context of bilingualism, and suggestions have been presented about mother tongue education of bilingual Turkish students in Denmark.

Özet

İki dilliliğin zihinsel, sosyal, kültürel, mesleki açılardan sağladığı katkılar, küreselleşen dünya düzeninde her geçen gün daha fazla ön plana çıkmaktadır. Özellikle çok dilli nüfus dokusuna sahip ve/veya içinde çeşitli uluslardan göçmen barındıran ülkelerde bukonuda çok sayıda akademik çalışma yürütülmektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı, Danimarka’da yaşayan ve Türkçe ve Danca konuşan lise öğrencilerinin, dil boyutlarının baskınlık açısından incelenmesidir. Yaklaşık 70 bin Türk vatandaşının yaşadığı Danimarka’da ana dilleri Türkçe olan iki dillilerin Türkçelerini koruyabilmeleri ve sürdürebilmeleri için sahip oldukları özelliklerin ortaya koyulması gerekmektedir. Araştırmamızda, baskın dilin, bireylerin dil edinim ve öğrenme yaşları, süreleri, kullanımları, tercihleri ve dil geçmişleriyle ilişkili olduğu görüşünden hareketle, katılımcıların Türkçe ve Danca dillerinden hangisinde baskın olduklarının belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, katılımcılardan Alexandra L. Dunn ve Jean E. Fox Tree (2009) tarafından geliştirilen ve iki yönlü dil boyutu içeren “İki Dilliler İçin Hızlı ve Kademeli Baskın Dil Ölçeği” çerçevesinde verilen bir anketi yanıtlamaları istenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler sınıflandırılmış, istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ortaya çıkan temel bulgular, katılımcıların baskın dilinin Danca olduğunu, Türkçe ve Dancayı dil öğrenme süreleri ile dil, ev ve okul bağlamlarındaki kullanım oranları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Çalışmanın sonucunda ortaya çıkan istatistiksel veriler, iki dillilik bağlamında değerlendirilmiş, Danimarka özelinde iki dilli Türk kökenli öğrencilerin ana dili eğitimi konusunda öneriler ortaya koyulmuştur.
