Quick Response Codes in Foreign Language Instruction: Practical Ideas and Strategies

Öz:
Quick response (QR) codes, composed of little black dots, are handy tools that are becoming more and more popular in our daily lives. Being commonly found on product packages, QR codes were first designed by a Japanese car manufacturing company. Ever since their license was made public, they have found their way not only into markets but also into educational settings. They are basically used to connect the analogue world to the digital one and help enrich traditional hardcopy materials commonly used in language classes. Their uses can be as limited as the creativity of teachers who are to use them in their classes. This paper attempts to provide a brief overview of practical techniques for using QR codes in teaching and learning of the language skills (reading, listening, speaking and writing) and content areas (grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation). The paper ends with some recommendations for effective use. In brief, it aims to introduce innovative practices in the use of QR codes and to provide teachers, learners and researchers some insight into their use for educational purposes.

Yabancı Dil Öğretiminde Karekodlar: Pratiğe Dönük Fikirler ve Stratejiler

Öz:
Siyah küçük noktalardan oluşan karekodlar günlük hayatımızda gitgide daha popüler hale gelmekte olan kullanışlı araçlardır. Günümüzde çoğunlukla ürün paketleri üzerinde bulunan karekodlar bir Japon otomobil üretim şirketi tarafından tasarlanmıştır. Lisansı halka açık hale getirildiğinden bu yana da sadece pazarlara değil eğitim ortamlarına da girmiştir. Bu araçlar temelde analog dünyayı dijital dünyaya bağlamada kullanılır ve dil sınıflarında yaygın olarak kullanılan geleneksel basılı materyalleri zenginleştirmeye yardımcı olur. Bu kullanışlı araçların eğitim amacıyla nasıl kullanılacağı, sınıflarında bu araçları kullanacak olan öğretmenin hayal gücü ile sınırlıdır; yani karekodların kullanımının ucu açıktır ve kullanım şekli öğretmenin bu araçları nasıl kullanmak istediğine bağlıdır. Bu çalışma, karekodları dil becerilerinin (okuma, dinleme, konuşma ve yazma) ve dil alanlarının (dilbilgisi, sözcük bilgisi ve sesletim) öğretiminde ve öğreniminde kullanmaya yönelik pratik teknikleri ve stratejileri ele almaktadır. Ayrıca karekodların daha etkin bir şekilde kullanılabilmesi için bazı önerilerde bulunmaktadır. Kısacası, bu çalışma karekodların kullanımları konusunda yenilikçi uygulamaları tanıtmayı ve bunların eğitim amacıyla kullanılması konusunda öğretmenlere, öğrencilere ve araştırmacılara fikir vermeyi amaçlamaktadır.
