İlave dil olarak İngilizce ve Türkçe öğreniminin kendini toparlamadaki rolü: Gaziantep Üniversitesindeki Suriyeli öğrencilerin durumu

Öz:
Kendini toparlama gücü (resilience) bir doğal felaket, çatışma, rahatsızlık, stres ya da değişiklik sonucunda bireyin eski haline dönebilme yeteneğini tarif etmek için kullanılır. Suriye‘deki durum binlerce insanın ölmesine ve milyonlarcasının da ülkelerinden kaçmasına sebep oldu. Gaziantep‘e sığınmış ve üniversitede eğitim gören öğrencilerin de bu travmayı atlatıp eski durumlarına dönmeleri gerekir. BM Göç İdaresi Başkanlığının verilerine göre, 314.917‘ü Gaziantep‘te olmak üzere Türkiye toplam 2.523.554 mülteciyi ağırlamakta. Bu çalışmanın amacı ilave dil olarak İngilizce ve Türkçe‘nin Suriyeli öğrencilerin Kendini toparlama güçlerinin oluşmasında katkısının incelenmesidir. Katılımcı öğrenciler üniversitenin zorunlu İngilizce ve zorunlu Türkçe hazırlık sınıflarına devam eden Suriyeli öğrencilerden seçilmiştir. Connor–Davidson Resilience Ölçeği ve mülakatlarla hem nicel hem de nitel veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar öğrencilerimizin orta düzeyde kendini toparlama gücüne sahip olduklarını ve Türkçe ve İngilizcenin kendini toparlanama gücünün oluşmasında farklı rolleri olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
