Özet

Bu çalışmada İngilizce derslerinde anadil kullanımına ilişkin İngilizce öğretmenlerinin görüşlerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Yabancı dil öğretiminde anadil kullanımı çok sayıda çalışmanın yapıldığı ve çoğu kez birbirinden farklı görüşlerin ileri sürüldüğü tartışmalı bir konu olarak günümüze gelmiştir. Öğretimin ana paydaşlarından olan öğretmenlerin konuya ilişkin görüşleri hem öğretimin doğrudan içinde olmalarından hem de yabancı dil öğrenme deneyimleri nedeniyle önemli görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin önemli bir çoğunluğu (%61,7) şaşırtıcı bir şekilde anadilin İngilizce sınıflarında kullanılması gerektiği yönünde görüş bildirmişlerdir. Anadilin ne zaman kullanılması gerektiği konusunda ise katılımcıların yarısı özellikle dilbilgisi konularının öğretiminde anadilden faydalanmak gerektiği yönünde görüş bildirmişlerdir. Anadilin kullanılmaması gerektiği durumlar için ise ilk sırada (%23,5) konuşma ve dinleme aktiviteleri gelmiştir. İkinci sırada (%17,6) görüş bildirenler ise öğrenciler anlamasalar bile anadil hiçbir zaman kullanılmamalı yönünde görüş bildirmişlerdir. İngilizce öğretmenlerinin literatür ile benzer görüşlere sahip oldukları, ortak bir dile sahip olmanın avantajlarından faydalanmak gerektiği yönünde çoğunluğun görüş belirttiği görülmüştür.
