Although millions of EFL learners benefit from watching subtitled/captioned movies and TV shows in non-instructional settings, one almost untouched area is the development of strategies in benefiting from film scripts and their translated versions as well as audio language-subtitle combinations. This paper reports research subsequent to the researcher/teacher's guided work on the use of film scripts and their translated versions. The students guided were required to notice and list chunks as well as technical and creative use of language in these scripts with their immediate contexts. This was carried out comparing the original scripts and those translated in Turkish and do creative dialogue/anecdote writing focusing on appropriacy and variety in language use. However some students' self-reported lack of focus on the jargons and formal language. The research was conducted with 1-5 Likert type questionnaires and closed-ended yes/no questions. The participants, the students of the research/teacher of the present paper, are the undergraduate students taking advanced language skills course as part of the curriculum of their major, the English language and literature. The results demonstrated that the film scripts can be used to convert the input provided by the film scripts to intake and uptake and provide good examples regarding the application of own language use in ELT.

Introduction: In this study we aimed to analyze the international and Turkish contribution of the plastic surgery literature in the last 42 years and compare results to each other. Materials and Methods: Web of Science online library (v.5.30) was used as a database. Papers that published between 1976-2018 were analyzed for both international and Turkey separately in terms of distribution of papers according to the years, rankings of source countries, rankings of source organizations, publishing journals, numbers of citations and contributing authors. Results were presented as numerical data. Results: Rohrich RJ is in the first place with 743 publications in the field of plastic surgery history. In the ranking of countries contributing to the plastic surgery literature, Turkey ranks 4th standings. Conclusions: Publishing papers in highly populated journals would add on the papers itself is a false belief. In recent years Turkey's contribution to the international plastic surgery literature has as decreasing trend. Repeating of this type bibliometric analyze studies every five 5 year may aid to understand academical progresses and trends better for both international arena and Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The place of literary criticism in the education of pre-service English language teachers in EFL contexts is rarely discussed in the related literature. Traditional view of teaching criticism involves learning of the tenets of the critical school and applying them to literary texts. In this paper, an application of teaching criticism is discussed with examples from classroom tasks and procedures. Constructed by the researcher, the "Reward" approach stands for reading, elicitation, writing, articulating, representational study, and discussion. In "Reward," a multidisciplinary approach to reading of a literary text was used by incorporating the study of various visual arts. In this paper, the approach is applied and the evaluation is completed through surveys and qualitative data of students' (n = 80) experiences to see how learning formalist criticism affected their literary reading processes, perception, and thinking. The results of this study suggest that the overall appreciation of the students with this approach is high and the students want to learn about literature courses through similar approaches in their future literature courses. The opening passage of "Anna Karenina" and the questionnaire are appended.

Writing is to transfer the visualised ideas on the paper. Writing, one of the language skills, is a significant tool of communication which provides the permanency of information conveying emotions and thoughts. Since writing has both cognitive and physical aspects, it makes writing the hardest and the latest language skill to improve. The studies show that writing activity is the most difficult skill students have difficulty. In higher education, in order to improve writing skills of students and give basic information and skills about writing skills written expression, composition and writing education lessons are taught both in the department of Turkish Language and Literature and in the departments of Turkish Language in the Faculties of Education. One of the aims of these lessons is to teach students written expression techniques together with the purposes and practices. One of the written expression techniques is text completion skill that improves student's creativity and enhances her/his imaginary world. The purpose of this study is to assess students' skills of using text completion technique with reference to the writing studies of students in higher education. the sample of the study consists of 85 college students studying in the department of Turkish Language and Literature in Gümüshane University in 2016-2017 academic year. The data of the study were obtained from the written expression studies of the students. The introduction part of the article "On Reading" by F. Bacon was given to the students and they were required to complete the text. 'Text Completion Rating Scale in Writing Expression' was developed to assess the data of the study by taking opinions of lecturers and Turkish education experts. The data of the study were presented with percentage and frequency rates. At the end of the study, it was concluded that students had weakness in some skills such as writing an effective body part about the topic given in the text, narrating the subject matter in logical coherence, segueing properly among paragraphs, comprehending the main theme and writing connective and impressive conclusion.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak poses a major global threat to the public health worldwide. The infectious disease caused by the virus that affected the entire world was named as the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). The knowledge regarding the wide clinico-biological aspects of the COVID-19 continues to evolve very rapidly, given the growing data from all over the world. During this complicated process, healthcare professionals have benefited from each other's experiences in combatting against the COVID-19 syndrome. COVID-19 related studies have been performed by a wide variety of research groups in Turkey as well as the rest of the world. The aim of this paper is to outline Turkish COVID-19 research indexed in the LitCovid system. LitCovid is a curated literature hub for tracking up-to-date scientific data about the SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19's first case was detected in Turkey, on March 11th, 2020. Six months after the first case was observed, the total number of COVID-19 patients was reported to be as 286,455, and the total number of deaths due to SARS-CoV-2 was 6895. The genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus showed significant identity to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Numerous drugs including lopinavir/ritonavir, favipiravir, neuraminidase inhibitors, remdesivir, umifenovir, azithromycin, and chloroquine have been suggested for the management of COVID-19 although the exact treatment is yet to be determined.

The paper discusses the role of literature and literary studies in the possible humanisation of people representing different cultures. It is based on the results of socio psychological studies on the subtle forms of dehumanisation and on the personal experience of being a representative of minority. Furthermore, the author focuses on Kurdish literature by offering a close analysis of a story by Mehmet Dicle, the Kurdish writer from Turkey. She argues that whereas people have generally a tendency to ascribe less of the so called uniquely human features to the representatives of the outgroups (i.e. to subtly dehumanise others), the access to the inner worlds of others - as expressed through literature - may become an important tool to overcome this dangerous phenomena. It is because the aesthetical aspects of the narratives and the moral imagination they furnish make us more sensitive to the complexity of human choices. Accordingly, paying more attention to the literature of minoritized groups seems of crucial importance for challenging the discriminatory policies and exclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Culture gains new meanings and functions along with the change of life. Because of this, culture should be studied with comparative approaches. The relationship between tourism and literature is a main issue of comparative and cultural studies focusing the cross fields and becoming clear as a multi-disciplinary social science. The aim of this paper is to search this relationship including many subjects. In this paper, "the connections of the rise of tourism and literature, the importance of tourism as a dynamic that improves literature, touristic image design utilizing literary memory or heritage, the function of the media for this connection ect." are debated with different approaches. Literary works is one of the main dynamics that improves cultural tourism. A city or a country can become the center of the cultural tourism through the literary Works. With the works of writers or the poets the cities or the countries can easily be the trademarks of the world's cultural tourism. These works helps the constructing process of the images and identities. Thus, the cultural and the economic aspects of literary works in Turkey can be emphasized effectively through these interpretations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present contribution examines the promotion of German-Turkish literature in Turkey by analyzing three selected novels. It is based on exploring systemic/field-oriented ambiguity in situating German-Turkish literature both in the source (German-speaking) literary field and in the target (Turkish) book market. The three texts chosen are Emine Sevgi Özdamar's Life is a caravanserai, Feridun Zaimoglu's Leyla, and Selim Özdoğan's The Blacksmith's Daughter. By discussing covers, blurbs, and the homepages of a few publishing houses, a paratextual analysis is carried out to explore the presentation of these novels to readers in Turkey.

There are some expressions, such as "for the sake of God", "o,n my child", "I swear that .…", "I vow that.…", "from three to nine", etc., which we frequently use in our daily lives either intentionally or unintentionally. Besides using these expressions unconsciously, we sometimes use modified forms of Arabic and Persian originated words like "yemin", "kasam", "sukend" as well as the word "ant" in the Turkish world. We encounter the samples of swear not only in our daily lives hut also in our written documents: We face with the samples of this type in Dede Korkut Stories, folk stories and tales. a) By means of notch (Dede Korkut Stories) b) In the form of swearing (Dede Korkut Stories) c) Under sword (Dede Korkut Stories, Bamsi Beyrek, etc.) d) Placing a sword in between (Dede Korkut Stories, Epic of Manas, Story of Şah lemail, Story of Kirmanşah, and texts of tales) - In this paper, the types of swear written above have been expounded through examples.

The aim of the research is to provide a general framework for POE used in biology education using meta-synthesis. In this research; studies on the use of the prediction-observationexplanation (POE) in biology education between the years 2000-2020 in Turkey and the World have been examined considering research type, distribution of the studies by years, the preferred research groups, the research methods used, the data collection tools used and the subject areas. The researches included in the research were obtained in Turkish and English by systematically scanning the literature covering the years 2000-2020 from the Google search engine, Web of Science, ERIC database, Google Academic Search, The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (ULAKBİM) database, ProQuest dissertation database and Higher Education Council's (HEC) National dissertation center. 27 studies were reached within the framework of inclusion criteria. It has been determined that the studies are distributed as 21 article, 5 master thesis and 1 doctoral dissertation according to the research type. Obtained data were interpreted on the basis of the frequency and were sometimes indicated with tables and graphs. According to the consequences; it was stated that most of the studies were in the type of research, pre-service teachers were preferred more than other samples, quantitative studies were more than qualitative studies, academic achievement tests were used the most as data collection tool and "Diffusion-Osmosis" subjects was studied the most.

Internationally accessible academic literature in management has been dominated very largely by contributions originating from the USA. Although this state of imbalance has attracted some discussion, little systematic research exists on scholarly activity in a large majority of countries that have limited presence in international academic outlets. To this end, we investigated the academic literature produced in Turkey over the last three decades, as an example of a country located at the periphery of management scholarship and where the management discipline developed under strong US influence. Based on a content analysis of articles published in local and international academic journals, cluster-analytic results indicated that the predominant form of scholarly output comprised a practice-oriented, nonempirical, de-contextualized literature, which served to transport American theories and practices to domestic audiences. The limitedly adopted scientific model manifested marginally greater interest in the local context. Further analysis showed that the type of university in which scholarly activity was carried out was highly significant. Academics working in American-modeled public and private universities were more likely to base their work on the scientific model imported wholesale from the USA. The post-1980 change in the institutional regime geared towards bringing Turkish higher education closer to American models and driving international publications, however, did not appear to have altered the overall panorama of scholarly activity in management, at least over a period of 15 years.
