EFL Learners' Views about Projest Work Implermentation

Öz:
This study was carried out to get an in-depth understanding of EFL learners’ perceptions towards project work in their language studies. The participants were 30 volunteer EFL students in the English Preparatory Program of a state university. To collect the data, a 5 Point Likert type questionnaire involving 31 questions and an interview form were used. The data, gathered through Likert scale type questionnaire, was analyzed using SPSS and the frequencies andthe mean scores for each item were calculated. The data gathered by interview forms was analyzed through qualitative research method. The results indicated that students mostly experienced pleasure and excitement while conducting projects as a group and believed that they became more productive, independent, and motivated. However, it was seen that they still found it time-consuming and stressful as well as a demanding work. It was concluded that the students liked and approved of learning English through project based learning but had differing opinions about its benefits. Some recommendations were yielded based on the analysis and students’ responses

Yabancı Dil Olarak İngilizce Öğrenen Öğrencilerin Proje Çalışması Uygulamasına İlişkin Görüşleri

Öz:
Bu çalışma, EFL öğrencilerinin dil çalışmalarında proje çalışmalarına yönelik algılarını derinlemesine analiz etmek için gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesinin İngilizce Hazırlık Programında öğrenim gören 30 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanması için 31 sorudan oluşan Likert tipi ölçek ve görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Likert ölçeği ile toplanan veriler SPSS kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve her bir maddenin frekansları ve ortalama puanları hesaplanmıştır. Görüşme formları ile toplanan veriler nitel araştırma yöntemiile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, öğrencilerin proje yürütürken grup halinde çalışmanın keyif ve heyecan verici olduğunu ve sonuç olarak daha üretken, bağımsız ve motive olduklarını göstermiştir. Ancak öğrenciler, yine de grup halinde proje çalışması yapmayı zaman alıcı ve stresli bulduklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Öğrencilerin proje tabanlı öğrenme yoluyla İngilizce öğrenmekten hoşlandıkları ve onayladıkları ancak faydaları hakkında farklı görüşlere sahip oldukları sonucuna varılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizlerin ve öğrencilerin cevaplarına dayanarak bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
