“…As for the language teaching methods, English teachers reported employing Communication Oriented Teaching Methods more than Grammar Oriented Teaching Methods. However, there are some studies in the literature (Chacon, 2005;Li, 1998;Okmen & Kilic, 2016) which reveal that teachers employ Grammar Oriented Teaching Methods more. Although employing communicative language teaching is encouraged, teachers sometimes employ Grammar Oriented Teaching, the reason of which needs further research.…”

“…In Turkey, although students study English for many years, the desired success in language learning and language use in an active way cannot be achieved (Memiş & Erdem, 2013;Paker, 2012). As a reason it can be shown that teachers do not attach importance to teaching the four basic skills in the same way (Akgüzel, 2006;Ökmen & Kılıç, 2016;2018), do not use audiovisual materials (Ökmen & Kılıç, 2018;Paker, 2012), teach the language as a subject to be studied not as a means of communication, and practice applications contrary to the communicative method (Ökmen & Kılıç, 2016;2018;Paker, 2012), and students have prejudice and negative attitude towards English lesson (Akgüzel, 2006;Paker, 2012;Topaloğlu, 2012).…”

“…Many students have difficulties in foreign language vocabulary acquisition in Turkey, they just memorize words without internalization and these words are forgotten in time. When it is considered that especially the English teachers in Turkey mostly prefer the TPR and G-T methods (Çakır & Kafa, 2013), and that they use grammar-based teaching at a high level and speaking-based teaching at a low level (Okmen & Kilic, 2016), it has been determined that the conditions lead students to memorize and not to learn long lastingly. It is thought that the TPRS method, through which students learn the words by internalizing them with visual and audio elements in the context, may be a solution.…”
