Turkish as a Foreign Language Learners’ Language Learning Skills Related Problems

“…It is concluded in the study by Maden and İşcan (2011) that TFL learners have difficulty in expressing themselves. It is also observed in different studies that TFL learners have problems on such matters as "differences in alphabet" (Açık, 2008;Boylu, 2014;Bölükbaş, 2011;Kahraman, 2018;Nurlu & Kutlu, 2015), "vocabulary knowledge" (Açık, 2008). Ak Başoğul and Selcen Can (2014), and Çerçi, Derman and Bardakçı (2016) also analyzed TFL learners' mistakes in writing and concluded that learners frequently make mistakes in "using suffixes".…”

“…In regard to speaking skills, the subthemes that are the most frequently expressed by TFL learners are "Lack of vocabulary knowledge", "Failing to use academic language", "Not knowing the context of conversation", "Differences in language structures", "Being afraid of making mistakes", "Experiencing exam anxiety", "Getting stressed", "Failing to speak fast", "Failing to pronounce words", "Lack of time", "Failing to apply the rules", "Failing to use words", "Failing to use suffixes", "Lack of speaking practice", "Not interacting with natives", "Being embarrassed", "Insufficient speaking activities". It is also found in the studies focused on TFL learners with different characteristics that they have problems in "articulation" and "pronunciation" (Biçer, Çoban & Bakır, 2014;Candaş Karababa, 2009;Derman, 2010;Kahraman, 2018;Moralı, 2018). In addition, it is observed in a different study that "lack of vocabulary knowledge" is among the problems that TFL learners frequently have with respect to the speaking skills (Kahraman, 2018).…”

“…Kaldırım and Degeç (2017) noted problems that are similar to those in this study such as accented speech, lack of using idioms and proverbs, lack of vocabulary knowledge, inaudible voice of the speaker, and pace of speaking which are expressed by learners of Turkish. In the study by Kahraman (2018), speaking fast and accented speech are among the problems that are the most frequently expressed by TFL learners.…”

“…It is also found in the studies focused on TFL learners with different characteristics that they have problems in "articulation" and "pronunciation" (Biçer, Çoban & Bakır, 2014;Candaş Karababa, 2009;Derman, 2010;Kahraman, 2018;Moralı, 2018). In addition, it is observed in a different study that "lack of vocabulary knowledge" is among the problems that TFL learners frequently have with respect to the speaking skills (Kahraman, 2018). The relevant results in different studies indicate that the problems experienced by learners in this study are also encountered by other learners.…”

“…Besides these, there are also studies where problems are described by focusing on a single subject area or several of them for teaching TFL. Some of them are: Boylu, 2014;Kahraman, 2018;Kaldırım & Degeç, 2017;Nurlu & Kutlu, 2015;Tiryaki, 2017;Tüm, 2014. There are also studies employing error analysis in order to reveal the TFL learners' problems: Adalar Subaşı, 2010;Ak Başoğul & Selcen Can, 2014;Bölükbaş, 2011;Büyükikiz & Hasırcı, 2013;Çerçi, Derman & Bardakçı, 2016;Çetinkaya, 2015;Fidan, 2019. When these studies are examined, it is found that generally a single subject area, study group of single nationality or a single language level was taken for examination.…”
