Verbs are a basic language structure that are divided into three groups in Turkish: simple, derived, and compound. Compound verbs are widely used to form words and are also a language-enriching element in terms of Turkish sign language (TID). However, compound verbs that consist of a noun and an auxiliary verb (i.e., two separate words in Turkish) can sometimes be expressed with a single sign in TID. This situation is encountered not only when translating between the spoken and sign languages but also when translating between two different spoken languages. For example, “to smoke” is translated as sigara içmek in Turkish. The auxiliary verbs that are the subject of the research have equivalents in sign language, but under which situations they are used or not is unknown. This study presents a specific sentence universe to a group of 20 hearing impaired people through the Turkish auxiliary verbs of yapmak [to make], vermek [to give], almak [to take], olmak [to be], and etmek [to do] and attempts to evaluate their tendencies to use auxiliary verbs bases on their levels of Turkish knowledge, TID acquisition, and education, as well as their age and frequency of meeting with individuals who are able to hear and speak. Many articles are found to have been written about auxiliary verbs in regard to spoken languages; however, no study like this has been done in Türkiye with regard to sign language, especially Turkish sign language, and thus this study will also contribute to forming an idea about the frequency of auxiliary verb usage in TID. Upon considering the frequency of auxiliary verb usage in all sentences, the study has concluded the most frequently used auxiliary verb in Turkish sign language to be yapmak [to make] and the least used one to be etmek [to do]. This is to be expected, as the auxiliary verb etmek [to do] has no commonly known expression in TID, unlike the auxiliary verb yapmak [to make]. When separately taking into account the participants’ levels of Turkish knowledge, TID acquisition, and education as well as their ages and frequency of meeting with individuals who can hear and speak, the percentage differences in terms of auxiliary verb usage stand out. Participants with lower levels of Turkish knowledge used the auxiliary verbs yapmak [to make] and etmek [to do] both slightly and very closely (15% - 10%). Meanwhile, as the frequency of meeting with individuals who hear and speak increases, the rate of using auxiliary verbs generally decreases. This is a surprising result, as the study expected that the hearing impaired would use sign language in a way that is better suited to TID grammar due to having had little contact with individuals who can hear and speak. This situation can be considered as a manifestation of language interaction. People with hearing impairments who have little contact with individuals who can hear and speak may be inclined to use auxiliary verbs when considering the inadequacy of TID knowledge possessed by the people with whom they communicate (they do not know that no need exists to use auxiliary verbs). Turkish being the dominant language with regard to TID due to the number of people using the language should also not be ignored.&nbsp;

This study examines Iraqi Turks’ language preferences regarding their children’s education using a 4-point Likert-type scale. There are questions such as “Which language would you prefer your children to be educated in?”, “Which of the following languages do you think should be the language of instruction in schools?” Among the answers preferences such as (Arabic), T (Iraqi Turkish), K (Kurdish), D (other) were given. This study uses the relational survey model design, a general survey model based on quantitative research methods, and adopted the questionnaire technique Bosnalı (2007) developed as its data collection technique. Turks are defined as the third most-populous ethnic group in Iraq today, and the research chose from among those living in the Iraqi provinces of Kirkuk, Mosul, Erbil, and Selaheddin as its universe.Based on the Iraqi population indicators from these four provinces for 2021 (Central Statistical Organization of Iraq, 2021), the total population was determined as 9,483,924. The population of the subjects was reduced by 0.00005, and a sample of 474 Turkish participants was formed. This study has preferred the random sampling method for selecting the participants, of whom 51.7% of are men and 48.3% are women. The participant group is divided into four age categories. Accordingly, the first group consists of 120 people (25.3%) between the ages of 10-19 years old, the second group consists of 119 people (25.1%) between the ages of 20-34, the third group consists of 122 people (25.7%) between the ages of 35-49, and the fourth group consists of 113 people (23.8%) aged 50 or older. The study has also divided the participants into six occupational groups, of which 3.8% are retired, 10.5% are housewives, 29.7% are students, 6.5% are unemployed, 14.8% work in the private sector, and 34.6% are government officials. The study has also considered the participants in five groups regarding education status, with 11 (2.3%) being illiterate; 28 (5.9%) being literate but didn’t finish primary school; 53 (11.2%) being primary school graduates; 120 (25.3%) being secondary school, high school, or equivalent graduates; and 262 (5.3%) being college, undergraduate, or higher-level graduates. The participants’ places of birth and places of residence have also been taken into account, the province of Saladin being represented by 85 people (18.0%), Kirkuk by 85 people (18.0%), Erbil by 100 people (21.0%), and Mosul with 204 people (43.0%). Of the participants residing in these provinces, 311 (65.5%) live in urban areas, while 163 people (34.4%) live in rural areas. All of the respondents have a Turkish ethnicity and a native language of is Iraqi Turkmen dialect of Turkish. The native languages of the participants’ mothers is Iraqi Turkmen Turkish for 95.8%, Arabic for 1.9%, and Kurdish for 2.3%, while the native language of the participants’ fathers is Iraqi Turkmen Turkish for 93.5%, Arabic for 5.1%, and Kurdish for 1.5%.In order to determine the participants’ language preferences for their children regarding education, the questions were evaluated in terms of six parameters: gender, age, occupation,&nbsp;&nbsp;educational status, place of residence, urban and rural). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the Pearson chi-square test to determine the direction of significance.This study examines the language preferences that Iraqi Turks living in the provinces of Kirkuk, Salahaddin, Mosul, and Erbil have with regard to their children’s education. Arabic is seen to be the most preferred language. According to the chi-square test, no statistically significant relationship exists between the participants’ preferred language of education with their gender, age, occupation, educational status, or social status, while a significant relationship was found to exist between the participants’ preferred language of education and place of residence. Turkish is preferred by 49.4% of the participants living in Kirkuk, Arabic by 49.4% of the participants living in Salahaddin, and Kurdish by 3.0% of the participants living in Erbil. Multilanguage education (Turkish and Arabic) are mostly preferred in the province of Salahaddin at a rate of 28.2% of the participants. Multilingual education is preferred in Erbil by 12.0% of the participants who live there. The results also show 33.5% of the participants to prefer their children’s language of education to mostly be Arabic. The reason for this is thought to be due to the fact that the official language of the state is Arabic as well as no universities existing in Iraq that provide education in Turkish. No significant relationship was observed to be present between the preferred general language of education with the variables of gender, occupation, educational status, or social status. However, significant differences were observed when examining the categories of age and place of residence.&nbsp;

This study aims to obtain instructors’ opinions about the process of online courses for teaching Turkish to foreigners using the Ankara University TÖMER model during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, the study has interviewed 24 instructors working at the Ankara University TÖMER’s Kadıköy and Taksim (now Beşiktaş) branches in Istanbul. The study uses the case study design, a qualitative research method. The data were obtained using a semi-structured interview form of 22 open-ended questions. Due to the pandemic, the study sent the interview forms to the participants by e-mail and WhatsApp and subjected the participants’ answers to content analysis in order to arrive at the findings. According to the study’s findings, the training the teachers had received throughout their education life was concluded to have not prepared them for online teaching, and the teachers wanted to receive further training to be given on this subject. The teachers stated having had difficulty developing writing skills for all levels of the online courses, in addition to conversation and verbal expressions at the A1 level and developing listening and speaking skills at the A2 level. No additional significant difficulties apart from writing can be said to have been experienced at the B1, B2 and C1 levels.The teachers stated having felt more comfortable in face-to-face classes, with the most important reasons for this being ease of communication, ease of using gestures, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact. However, the teachers stated that they would like to continue working online should online courses continue after the epidemic. According to the teachers, the most important advantages of online courses involve the savings with regard to time, space, and transportation; the effective use of visual materials; and accessibility. Accessibility entails the aim of enabling learners to attend classes through the internet regardless of where they are and thus the ability to reach more students. According to the teachers, some of the disadvantages of online courses involve the difficulties in developing certain skills, the difficulty in communicating with learners, a lack of focus, the length of class hours, and technical problems.The teachers stated having felt more comfortable in face-to-face classes, with the most important reasons for this being ease of communication, ease of using gestures, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact.

Learner corpora, also known as interlanguage or L2 corpora, are defined as electronic collections of authentic foreign or second language data. Learner corpora differ from other data types used in the fields of second language acquisition (SLA) and foreign language teaching (FLT) in two main ways. Firstly, they are easily analyzable using various software tools due to being computerized. Secondly, learner corpora enable learner language to be correctly described and modeled due to the large amount of data they contain. In addition to the morphological and syntactic tagging and lemmatization commonly used in other corpus types, learner corpora are usually annotated with the help of a standardized system of error tags. During the error annotation process, errors are detected by one or more annotators who assign labels indicating the error type and add examples of the correct usage next to the labels. Error tagging is performed based on the error taxonomy developed for the given corpus. Error classifications used in learner corpora today can be divided into three groups: classifications indicating the source of error (e.g., morphology, lexis, case, number), classifications based on the ordering of the units in the source text (e.g., omission, addition, improper formation, improper ordering), and classifications that take various aspects into consideration, including error domain (e.g., morphology, lexicology, pragmatics), error category (e.g., diacritic usage, inflection, gender, mood), and word category.This research discusses within its scope the process of designing an error annotation system based on the 44,000-word error-tagged component of a 274,000-word Turkish learner corpus that is comprised of Turkish examination papers written by learners from 94 different countries. The data were collected from eight Turkish teaching centers located in the Turkish provinces of Istanbul, Ankara, Sakarya, Samsun, Edirne, and Kocaeli that agreed to participate in the study. Therefore, the corpus comprises data produced by foreign students learning Turkish in an immersive language learning environment. Because the data collection phase coincided with the quarantine restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the study accessed the exam papers that had been stored in the archives of the Turkish teaching centers and scanned the sections on writing from the Turkish Proficiency Exam and C1 exams. The texts were manually keyboarded while retaining all errors. A tag was created containing metadata such as the nationality and gender of the student, the year of the exam, the subject, and the genre of writing was created for each text that had been saved as a separate Word file.The digitization of the data that had been obtained from universities was completed in January 2021. In the process of transferring the texts to the computer environment, personal information (e.g., first and last name, university, residence address, age) was anonymized. Real information was replaced with randomly chosen names and numerical data; however, attention was paid to ensure that an equivalent word containing the same mistake was used in cases involving orthographic mistakes. In order to ensure that the maximum variety of texts were included in the core corpus, a matrix was prepared that specified the students’ genders, nationalities, writing topics, and genres. The core corpus contains 43,518 words and 50,487 tokens.In addition to keywording the texts, the study investigated the error annotation systems developed for other corpora and identified the codes that could be used for the Turkish learner corpus. The preliminary error tags were divided into five categories: spelling, punctuation, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary. As the study progressed, it added other categories to these five, bringing the total number of error labels to 58. The majority of codes are based on a three- or four-letter system in which the first letter represents the error domain and the following letters identify the error category, as well as the word class where relevant.The designed error tagging system can be used to assess Turkish learners’ linguistic competence or to build other error-annotated Turkish learner corpora. In addition to the present study’s contributions to the field, it also has some limitations. The research mostly focused on error labels related to the linguistic competence of Turkish learners, leaving discourse errors beyond the scope of the paper.&nbsp;

This research takes as its subject the English preparatory classes that use content-based instruction, a method that combines language and content, where the content is used as a tool for learning the language without focusing too much on the form of the language. In general, this method also uses authentic materials suitable to the students’ level and is applicable for students of all ages and levels. Different opinions are found on what the chosen content should be and whether content or language should be prioritized. For this reason, Met’s (1999) content-based instruction is divided into six different topics: bilingual education, partially bilingual education, sheltered courses, adjunct models, theme-based courses, and language courses that focus more on the content.This study aims to measure students’ attitudes and motivation toward the content-based English courses that are integrated into the preparatory year program of a foundation university in Istanbul, Türkiye. The study uses the mixed-methods research design, and 27 students from 16 different departments participated in the study. First, a questionnaire was applied to the students to measure their attitudes and motivation. This part constitutes the quantitative section of the research. The qualitative section of the study conducted semi-structured interviews with the students. Descriptive analyses of the students’ responses to the attitude and motivation scale was analyzed using SPSS. T-tests were implemented to see if a significant difference occurs between the male and female students in terms of attitudes and motivation. Additionally, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to see if a significant difference occurs in the students’ attitudes and motivation in terms of department. The situational data analysis of the semi-structured interviews was conducted using MAXQDA.The results show more than half the students (55.5%) to have positive attitudes toward this course. The mean score from the attitude scale was 3.48, and the students can thus be said to have partially positive attitudes. While the mean score from the intrinsic motivation scale was 3.51, the mean score from the instrumental motivation scale was slightly higher (M = 3.72). As a result of the t-tests performed regarding the students’ scores from the attitude and motivation scales, no significant difference was found to have occurred between the female and male students, while the results from the one-way ANOVA also found no significant difference among the scores in terms of department. As a result of situational data analysis, six themes emerged that are shown to affect students’ attitudes and motivation: interest in the content, contribution to developing language skills, contribution to lexicon, the effect of inclass activities, the effect of the course material, and the teachers’ effect.&nbsp;
