IMPROVING LEARNER OUTCOMES IN EFL: DOES EARLY INSTRUCTION LEAD TO GREATER ACHIEVEMENT?
Öz: Dünyadaki dil eğitimi müfredat ve programları yabancı dil öğretiminin, özellikle de İngilizce için, 5-6 kadar küçük yaştaki öğrenciler için önemini vurgulamaya başlamışlardır. Ancak, araştırmalar erken dil öğretiminin faydalarından bahsetseler de, bu eğilimin gerçek başarı açısından sonuçlarının ne olduğu net değildir. Bu sebeple, araştırmacılar, İngilizce'nin yabancı dil olarak öğretiminin ilkokul öncesi ve ilkokul seviyesinde başladığı ülkelerden elde edilen uluslararası İngilizce müfredatlarını ve ilgili ülkelere ait Yabancı Dil Olarak İngilizce (TOEFL) sınavı sonuçlarını incelemek kaydıyla başarı ile yabancı dil olarak İngilizce eğitimine başlama yaşının ilişkisini ortaya koymak için bu çalışmayı tasarlamışlardır. Bulgular, yabancı dil olarak İngilizce eğitimine erken başlamanın, faydalı olsa da, tek başına başarının garantisi olmadığını: ve sınıftaki öğrenci sayısı, İngilizce eğitimine ayrılmış ders saati ve öğretmen yeterlilikleri gibi diğer unsurların da dikkate alınması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Öz: Language education curricula and programs worldwide have begun emphasizing foreign language instruction for learners as young as 5-6 years, particularly in English. Yet, while studies have argued for the benefits of early language instruction, the results of this trend in terms of actual achievement are not clear. For this reason, the researchers designed this study to illustrate the connection between age of onset of English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction and learner achievement, examining international language curricula from countries where English is taught as a foreign language beginning at the pre-primary and primary level alongside the corresponding scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The findings indicate that, although early onset of EFL instruction may be beneficial in many respects, it is not, in itself, a guarantee of success, and other elements, such as class size, number of hours dedicated to English instruction, and teacher qualifications, must also be considered.
