EXTENSION OF TEACHER KNOWLEDGE: DEVELOPING THE INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE OF PRE-SERVICE FOREIGN-LANGUAGE TEACHERS IN TURKEY

Öz:

Günümüzde insanlar arasında artan iletişime bağlı olarak, öğretmenlerin bilgilerinin küresel bakış açılarını ve kültürel farkındalığı kapsayacak şekilde artırılması gereği giderek daha çok hissedilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı yabancı dil öğretmen adaylarının kültürlerarası yeterliklerini Türkiye de sınıf ortamında geliştirmektir. Çalışmada, kültürel içerik programının öğretmen adaylarının kültürlerarası yeterliğine etkisini araştırmak için karma araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Nicel veriler uygulama öncesi ve sonrasında verilen Kültürlerarası Yeterlik ölçeği ile toplanmış; nitel veriler ise katılımcıların haftalık olarak yazdıkları yansıma notları, sınıf içinde tamamladıkları kültürlerarası çalışmalar ve çalışma sonrası cevapladıkları açık uçlu sorular ile toplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda kültürel içerik programının kültürel bilgi, kültürlerarası beceriler ve kültürlerarası farkındalık kazandırma açılarından anlamlı bir etkide bulunduğu fakat öğretmen adaylarının tutumunda anlamlı bir değişime yol açmadığı bulunmuştur. Sonuçlar, yabancı dil öğretmen adaylarının kültürlerarası yeterliklerinin, yurtdışı deneyimi olmaksızın, sınıf ortamında belli bir dereceye kadar geliştirilmesinin mümkün olduğuna işaret etmiştir

Öz:

Due to the increased interconnections among people, there has been an increasing awareness of the need to extend the knowledge of teachers to include global perspectives and cultural awareness. The objective of the study is to develop the intercultural competence of pre-service foreign- language teachers in a classroom context in Turkey. The study employed a mixed research method to examine the effect of a cultural content program on pre-service teachers’ intercultural competence. Quantitative data were collected using Intercultural Competence (IC) Instrument before and after the instruction, and qualitative data were collected through participants’ weekly written reflections, intercultural tasks, and post study open-ended questions. The cultural content instruction was found to have significant effects on developing the cultural knowledge, intercultural skills, and intercultural awareness, but resulted in no significant attitudinal change in these pre-service teachers in a Turkish EFL context. The results indicated that, to a certain degree, it is possible to develop the intercultural competence of foreign-language pre-service teachers through systematic instruction in teacher-education departments in the absence of study abroad experience
