Abstract

Coursebooks used in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) class isone of the most important decisions in the design of the languageeducation and teaching concept in the School of Foreign Languages.The selection of suitable materials should be done very professionally.The textbooks are presented to demonstrate the design of foreignlanguage teaching. Design means the principles and techniques oflanguage teaching and explains the characteristics of your schoolcurriculum. The purpose of this study is to reveal the teachers’ views onthe quality of courseboooks that have been used by the school of foreignlanguages. Do the coursebooks fulfill the expectations in languagelearning? What kind of limitations and deficiencies do coursebookshave? These questions are analyzed in this paper and the coursebook(series titled ‘English for Life' by Oxford University Press) was evaluatedfrom the language teachers' perspective. In the study, the data weregathered from the questionnaire results of some teachers who havebeen teaching in English classes which are compulsory lessons andhave been using the coursebook beginner and elementary level duringtwo terms. According to the results, it was revealed that coursebookswhich take place in language education as the main material have somelimits. However, course books should be accompanied bysupplementary digital materials that serve self-autonomy for thelearners, encouraging their efforts and self-esteem to learn a foreignlanguage beyond the classroom. Surely, course books should have i-tools to attract attention for class teaching and e-tools to expandlearning and not to fall behind in the age of technology. Istructors ofEnglish can use coursebooks as a guide but not take it as a holly bookto adhere for blind obedience.

Özet

EFL'de (Yabancı Dil Olarak İngilizce) kullanılan ders kitapları, Yabancı Diller Yüksekokulu'ndaki dil eğitimi ve öğretim kavramının tasarımında en önemli kararlardan biridir. Uygun materyallerin seçimi çok profesyonelce yapılmalıdır. Ders kitapları, yabancı dil öğretim tasarımını gösterir. Tasarım, dil öğretiminin ilkeleri ve teknikleri anlamına gelir ve okul müfredatınızın özelliklerini açıklar. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin, bir yabancı dil okulu tarafından kullanılan ders kitaplarının niteliğine ilişkin görüşlerini ortaya koymaktır. Ders kitapları dil öğrenimindeki beklentileri karşılar mı? Ders kitabında ne gibi kısıtlamalar ve eksiklikler vardır? Bu sorular bu yazıda incelenmekte ve Oxford University Press'in “English for Life” adlı ders kitabı dil öğretmenlerinin bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmektedir. Araştırmada, Zorunlu İngilizce Dersi’nde dersi olan ve iki dönem başlangıç ve birinci seviye ders kitabı kullanan öğretmenlerin anket sonuçlarından elde edilen veriler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, dil eğitiminde yer alan ders kitaplarının ana materyal olarak sınırlı olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak, ders kitaplarına, öğrenciler için özyönelime teşvik eden eden, çabalarını teşvik eden ve sınıfın dışında yabancı dil öğrenmeyi sürdürmek için tamamlayıcı dijital materyaller eşlik etmelidir. Elbette, ders kitaplarında sınıf öğretiminin dikkat çekmesi için i-araçları( digital materyaller ve e-araçları (elektronik materyaller) teknolojinin çağında geride kalmaması için) olmalıdır. İngilizce öğremenleri ders kitaplarını bir rehber olarak kullanabilirler ama, onu körü körüne bağlı kalınacak bir kutsal kitap gibi kabul etmemelidirler.
