Yabancılara Türkçe Öğretiminde Sadeleştirilmiş Metinlerin Okuduğunu Anlamaya Etkisi: Nasrettin Hoca Fıkraları Örneği

Abstract

Language and culture are two basic concepts synthesized inside each other. It can be said that one of the aims of language teaching is culture teaching within the framework of this context. The products that reflect culture best can be considered as genres such as fairy tales, legends and anecdotes produced by the people who keep it alive. Anecdotes are one of the most important sources that can be used in the teaching of Turkish in terms of cultural background and language richness. One of the aims of this field is that those who learn the target language can read and explain the folkloric works of that society. The study group of the research consisted of B1 - level students who learn Turkish as a foreign language. The reading texts simplified by taking the expert opinions and the reading comprehension questions were used to collect the data. In the study, which was designed with a control-group post-test design, the original reading texts and the reading comprehension questions were applied to the students as a post-test. The data were analyzed electronically and interpreted descriptively. As a result of the study, it was found out that there was a significant difference in favor of the participants in the experimental group and that the reading comprehension studies conducted through simplified texts were more successful than the original texts.
