The goal of this report is to introduce a general Language Learning Framework for Turkish within the American experience and to offer curriculum guides for formal programs in Turkish in academic settings in the US. This will enable instructors who are teaching Turkish at American universities to follow the same general curriculum and will guide them in devising their syllabi. Turkish, a less commonly taught language, is being taught in several major universities; class attendance is relatively small. Because of the small numbers of the students, this report focuses on developing curriculum guidelines mainly for first and second year classes. We assume that a uniform set of goals for these programs will enhance teaching of this language in institutions of higher learning, lead to further development of teaching materials, and improve the quality of teaching overall. The particulars of the goals that the working group suggests is guided by a set of principles within a language learnin...

They include the worksheets designed by student teachers, mainly targeting teaching grammar, vocabulary, translation, textual cohesion and coherence. The research shall mainly focuses on the following points of (i) how student teachers approached literary texts, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages they encountered while coping with literary texts; (ii) which literary texts were chosen as teaching materials and how were these texts internalized and interpreted to target cultural enrichment; (iii) which language samples of real life settings were demonstrated. This paper aims to show that teaching language through literature initiates the student teachers’ pragmatic input in progress, and helps them to prepare authentic teaching materials in terms of developing teaching competencies. - Bu çalışmada, Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi İngilizce Öğretmenliği Bölümü 3.

Araştırmamız başlıca şu noktalar üzerinde durmaktadır: Öğretmen adayları edebi metinlere nasıl yaklaşıyor? (Edebi metinlerle çalışırken ne gibi olumlu veya olumsuz yönlerle karşılaşıyorlar?) Öğretim materyali olarak hangi edebi metinleri seçiyorlar? Hedef dil kültürünü nasıl içselleştirip yorumluyorlar? Gerçek hayattan hangi dil örneklerini gösteriyorlar? Amacımız, edebiyatı dil öğretiminde kullanırken öğretmen adaylarının edimbilimsel girdisini geliştirmektir. Böylece edebiyatın dil öğretiminde kullanımı, öğretmen yeterliliklerini geliştirmek açısından onlara özgün materyal hazırlama da yardımcı olacaktır.

New Literary History, 1981

Language is the main mode of communication in human society. This highly sophisticated and important mode, which is attributed to humans only as conscious social beings, is accomplished through speech. Men use speech as the main mode to bond spiritually, socially, politically, and commercially with others in their community. Seeing language as a distinctive symbol of a nation, the Albanian National Renaissance continually tried to purify its language from loanwords and enrich with words from its own source. Thus, the Renaissance took a difficult step towards creating a literary Albanian language. It took our written language out from its rudimentary state of the past century and placed it on a new track creating a unified literary language as an important matter for our nation. Communication is application of inspirations and requests through a system of symbols. There are many sign systems used by human society in communication including gestures, body movements, or its limbs, vocal sounds, traffic sings, Morse alphabet, chemical symbols, mathematical, physical, programming language and artificial logic language and the language as the essential mode of communication. When we write, communication is not simultaneous and in direct contact with the one whom we address it. Thus, the speaker needs context, intonation, gestures, mimicry, etc. All of these are fulfilled through writing.
