47. Learning German as a foreign language: The impact of grammar on German-speaking anxiety

Öz:
It is known that many innovative studies have been carried out on materials, approaches and methods in Foreign Language Teaching thanks to recent technological advances and the update in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, learning, teaching, Assessment in recent years. However, there are other important factors that affect the process of language teaching and learning. These factors can be listed as readiness, awareness, motivation and anxiety. In particular, the fact that motivation and anxiety manifest themselves in a dinstinct fashion in all four skills can cause learning problems. The study attempts to explore speaking anxiety in general, and the effect of grammar on this kind of anxiety in particular. The test group of the study consists of students who learn German as a Foreign Language, and study in a German Language and Literature program. In conclusion, the effect of the knowledge of the mother tongue as well as the knowledge of the German language on the anxiety involved in speaking a foreign language is explained, and the importance of the mother tongue especially in the foreign language learning process is emphasized. In the light of all these clarifications, it can be said that grammar is very effective in speaking skills, and that the lack of grammar is a factor that increases speaking anxiety.

Yabancı dil olarak Almanca öğreniminde dil bilgisinin (Gramer) konuşma kaygısına etkisi

Öz:
Son yıllarda gerek teknolojinin gelişimi gerekse Avrupa Ortak Başvuru Metninde yapılan güncelleme ile birlikte yabancı dil öğretiminde materyal, yaklaşım ve yöntem ile ilgili birçok yenilikçi çalışmaların yapıldığı bilinmektedir. Ancak dil öğretiminde ve öğreniminde süreci etkileyen önemli olan başka etkenler de vardır. Bu etkenler hazırbulunuşluk, farkındalık, motivasyon ve kaygı şeklinde sıralanabilir. Özellikle motivasyon ve kaygının dört beceride farklı olması öğrenimin sağlıksız işlemesine neden olabilmektedir. İlgili çalışmada konuşma kaygısı, özellikle de dil bilgisinin bu kaygıdaki etkisi üzerinde bir tespitte bunulmaya çalışılmıştır. çalışmanın evrenini yabancı dil olarak Almanca alanında öğrenim gören öğrenciler, evreni temsil eden örneklemi ise Alman Dili ve Edebiyatı programında öğrenim gören öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Bu öğrencilerin konuyla ilgili tutumları, duygu ve düşünceleri ile ilgili bilgiye ulaşabilmek için araç olarak ölçek kullanılmış ve öğrencilerle görüşme yapılmıştır. Sonuç bölümünde yabancı dilde konuşma kaygıları hususunda Almanca dil bilgisi kadar anadildeki dil bilgisinin etkisine de yer verilerek Anadilin özellikle yabancı dil öğrenim sürecindeki önemi de vurgulanmıştır. Tüm bu veriler ışığında dil bilgisinin konuşma becerisinde oldukça etkili olduğu ve dil bilgisi eksikliğinin konuşma kaygısını artırıcı bir unsur olduğu, özellikle yabancı dildeki konuşma kaygısını azaltmak için hem yabancı dilin hem de anadildeki dil bilgisi eğitimine gereken önem verilmesi ve iyi bir dil bilgisi temeli oluşturulması gerektiği söylenebilir.
