There is a close two-way relationship between language and culture and this symbiotic relationship shows that culture has an indispensable place in language teaching. In addition, in our world, which is described as a global village with great developments in information, communication and transportation technologies, it has become a normal situation for individuals with different cultural backgrounds to come together and communicate for different reasons, and this reality has turned intercultural communication into a skill that needs to be acquired. This study aims to examine the intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and cultural components (CC) perspectives of preservice teachers of English language studying in the first year and fourth year in a Turkish university setting during the 2014-2015 academic year spring term and looking for any difference between the test scores and variables of grade, gender, and GPA (Grade Point Average). The required data were collected from 85 participants with the ICC Questionnaire (Mirzaei & Forouzandeh, 2013) and the Inventory of CC (Razı, 2012). The results indicated that participants performed high scores in the ICC questionnaire and CC inventory. Moreover, the t-test results indicated that there was a significant difference between different genders and GPA groups and no significant difference between participants in the first year and fourth year of the university. According to the correlation results, high and moderate positive correlations were found between ICC, its components, and CC scores of pre-service teachers of the English language. It can be concluded that the participants had high levels of ICC and CC as well as ICC and CC scores differed regarding the gender and GPA variables, and ICC levels and CC levels had a positive correlation.

Yabancı dil öğreniminde kelime öğretimi, belli teknikler doğrultusunda uygun anlatım ve doğru öğretim stratejileri kullanımını gerektiren kapsamlı bir süreçtir. Bu çalışma, dijital hikayeler yoluyla çocuklara İngilizce kelimelerin anlam bütünlüğü içinde öğretiminin etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 6 video tabanlı İngilizce hikaye seçilmiş ve bu hikayeler sırasıyla ders materyali olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, 6 hafta boyunca 25 altıncı sınıf öğrencisinin katılımıyla gerçekleşmiştir. İngilizce öğretmeni tarafından 6 hikayeden üçünde yer alan İngilizce kelimeler anlam bütünlüğü içinde ve diğer üçünde bulunan İngilizce kelimeler anlam bütünlüğü olmaksızın katılımcılara öğretilmiştir. Elde edilen öğrenim çıktılarını değerlendirmek için SPSS 20 istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Öğrenciler kelime bilgilerinin hem anlam ilişkisi olan gruplarla hem de anlam ilişkisi olmayan gruplarla geliştirmişlerdir; ancak aralarındaki öğrenme oranı farklıdır. Yapılan testlerde öğrenciler aralarında anlam ilişkisi bulunmayan kelime gruplarından anlam ilişkisi bulunan kelime gruplarına kıyasla daha yüksek puan almışlardır., Teaching vocabulary is a comprehensive process in foreign language learning requiring specific techniques of appropriate instruction and accurate strategy.

Çalışmanın sonunda öğrencilere kendi dinleme becerilerindeki muhtemel değişim ve bu değişimin kendilerine göre nedenleri hakkındaki fikirlerini almak için özyansıtma formu verilmiştir.

(2) Belirlenen çoğu dinleme strateji ve teknikleri derslerde farklı düzeylerde yer almıştır, fakat bunlar dolaylı şekilde öğretilmiştir. 26 dinleme strateji ve tekniğini içeren gözlem kontrol listesinden 6 madde doğrudan gözlemlenmiş, 16 madde kısmen gözlemlenmiş ve 4 madde gözlemlenmemiştir. (3) Dönem boyunca öğrenciler yabancı dile yönelik olumlu tutum geliştirmişlerdir.

This study investigated English language teacher candidates' perceptions of literacy and the place of literacy in their programme. Small-scale descriptive case study was conducted in mixed method design. Data were collected from 57 participants. The means and standard deviations of the quantitative data were calculated with SPSS programme. Qualitative data were theme-coded by using MAXQDA© 11, and the emerging themes were interpreted. The results indicated that the participants related literacy to language skills especially to reading. They think that literacy development is conducive to creative use of language in different ways. The most important notions associated with literacy are cultural knowledge and interpretation. Most participants also emphasized the link between L1 and L2 literacy skills. Ultimately, it is suggested that literacy training is advantageous and should be integrated into the relevant ELT courses. The findings yielded implications about how to develop prospective ELT teachers' literacy skills through pre-service teacher training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
