Abstract

While second language (L2) writing skills pose challenges for learners, they are also unarguably consequential in academia. L2 writing studies conducted in Turkey are scarce, and most of them have an EFL focus. Studies on writing in Turkish as an L2 are almost nonexistent. Following the initiative that language teachers should pay a closer attention to the realities that take place in their local sites of L2 writing instruction, this study aimed at capturing the views of a group of Turkish as an L2 learners who were engaged in genre-based academic writing as a part of their academic Turkish summer school. The participants followed the production principles of genre-based writing and provided the researcher with qualitative data at the beginning, during and at the end of their writing practices with several genres. The thematic analysis revealed a positive change in the participants’ views toward writing especially with the help of model text analyses and annotation writing activities and an increased genre knowledge toward the genre types studied.

Özet

İkinci dil yazma becerileri, öğrenenler için zorluklar teşkil etse de akademide tartışmasız bir öneme sahiptir. Türkiye'de yapılan ikinci dil yazma çalışmaları nadirdir ve çoğunun odağı yabancı dil olarak İngilizcedir. İkinci dil olarak Türkçede yazma becerisini inceleyen çalışmalar ise yok denecek kadar azdır. Dil öğretmenlerinin ikinci dilde yazma eğitiminde yerel gerçekliklere daha fazla dikkat etmesi gerektiğini savunan girişime dayanarak, bu çalışma, yaz okulunda akademik Türkçe eğitimi alan bir grup öğrencinin tür temelli akademik yazma eğitimi hakkındaki görüşlerini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Katılımcılar, tür temelli yazım ilkelerine dair bir kaç yazım türüne odaklanarak yazma alıştırmaları yapmış ve katılımcılardan alıştırmaların başında, sürdüğü sırada ve sonunda nitel veri toplanmıştır. Tematik analiz verileri, özellikle model metin incelemelerinin, açıklama yazma etkinliklerinin ve katılımcıların odaklanılan yazım türleri hakkındaki artan bilgilerinin yazmaya dair görüşlerinde olumlu bir değişikliğe neden olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
