Abstract

Action research was carried out in the preparatory program of a foundation university to examine the effectiveness of cartoon discussions in vocabulary acquisition. Students were shown cartoon videos based on the theme of the textbook unit and were asked to answer the guiding questions including the target vocabulary implicitly or explicitly. Students were divided into randomly selected groups and were asked to complete a task using the vocabulary acquired through the learning management system. The students (n=19) weregiven a pre-and post-test with words that they were supposed to learn during the eight-week process. The tests were assessed by three different teachers (the W-coefficient was found as .944 for inter-rater reliability) using a pre-prepared rubric by the researchers. To evaluate students’ perceptions, at the end of the process, students were given a questionnaire. Findings revealed that the post-test results of the students, who acquired vocabulary through cartoon discussion and practiced collaboratively through the learning management system, were significantly higher compared to their pre-test results. Students expressed positive views concerning this method in the questionnaire applied. Acquisition of vocabulary through cartoon discussions was found effective and was well-received by students.

Özet

Bir vakıf üniversitesinin İngilizce hazırlık okulunda kelime edinimi için çizgi film tartışmalarınınkullanımı üzerine bir eylem araştırması yürütülmüştür. Öğrencilere ders kitaplarında işlenen temaya dayalı çizgi filmler izletilmiş ve öğrencilerin hedef kelimeleri açık veya örtük bir şekildeiçeren yönlendirici soruları cevaplandırması istenmiştir. Öğrenciler rastgele seçilmiş gruplaraayrılmış ve öğrenme yönetim sistemi üzerinden edindikleri kelimeleri kullanarak bir çalışmayapmaları istenmiştir. Sürecin başında ve sonunda uygulanan testte, öğrencilerden (n=19) sekizhaftalık süreç içerisinde öğrendikleri kelimeleri içeren soruları cevaplamaları istenmiştir. Yanıtlarüç farklı öğretmen tarafından önceden hazırlanan bir derecelendirilmiş puanlama anahtarıkullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir (puanlayıcılar arası güvenirlik W-katsayısı .944 olarakhesaplanmıştır). Görüşlerini almak üzere süreç sonunda öğrencilere anket uygulanmıştır.Bulgular, kelimeleri çizgi film tartışmaları ile öğrenen ve işbirlikli bir şekilde öğrenme yönetimsistemi üzerinden verilen bir alıştırmayla pekiştiren öğrencilerin sontest sonuçlarının öntestekıyasla anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Öğrenciler uygulanan ankette bu yöntemhakkında olumlu görüşler bildirmiştir. Kelime edinimi için çizgi film tartışmalarının kullanılmasıetkili bulunmuş ve öğrenciler tarafından olumlu karşılanmıştır.
