Abstract

This study aims to explore the extent to which e-learning journals stimulate learner control over the language learning process through critical reflection on the process itself. The study involved 71 first-year non-native English-speaking students taking a two-semester “Text and Composition” course at the Department of Translation and Interpretation (English-French-Turkish) at a four-year English medium university in Turkey. The data were collected through e-learning journals, post-course interviews and post-course questionnaires. The results indicated that e-learning journals encouraged learners to reflect critically on their learning, resulting in increased learner control over the language learning process. Moreover, e-learning journals promoted positive change in the attitudes of the learners towards using more ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in the language learning process.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, eleştirel irdeleme yöntemiyle tutulan elektronik öğrenme güncesinin (e-öğrenme güncesi), dil öğrenim sürecinde öğrencinin inisiyatif kullanımını ne derece arttırdığını ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de bir üniversitenin 4 yıllık Mütercim Tercümanlık Bölümü’nde (İngilizce-Fransızca-Türkçe), anadili İngilizce olmayan, ancak İngilizce eğitim gören ve iki akademik dönem boyunca metin inceleme ve yazılı anlatım dersini alan 71 birinci sınıf öğrencisi yer almıştır. Veriler e-öğrenme güncesi, dönem sonu uygulanan anket ve dönem sonu uygulanan mülakat yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Bulgular uyarınca e-öğrenme güncesi, eleştirel irdeleme becerilerini arttırarak öğrencilerin dil öğrenim sürecinde daha fazla inisiyatif kullanmalarını sağlamıştır. Dahası, dil öğrenme sürecinde e-öğrenme güncelerinin kullanımı, bilgi iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanımını ve öğrencilerin buna yönelik olumlu tavrını arttırmıştır.
