A Study On Developing Fluency And Accuracy Skills In Teaching Turkish As A Second Language

Öz:
The present study aims to determine the development of fluency and accuracy skills, which are among the components of speaking, by language instructors in the process of teaching Turkish as a second language. The study was carried out by using a phenomenological design within the framework of the qualitative research approach. The study group consists of 10 language instructors working at Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University TÖMER, Amasya University TÖMER, Uludağ University TÖMER, Kilis 7 Aralık University TÖMER and İnönü University TÖMER. Semi-structured interview form was used in the data collection process. Interview data were analyzed with content analysis. As a result of the study, in line with the views of instructors, it was concluded that learners of Turkish as a second language could not speak fluently and accurately due to their anxiety and that sufficient time was not allocated for fluent and accurate speaking of students due to priorities such as completing the curriculum and finishing the course book. It can also be seen that instructors preferred activities such as role-playing, drama, songs, rhymes, interviews, and storytelling to develop fluent and accurate speaking of learners and they recommended real-life activities, speaking club, karaoke, and drama activities for the future.
