| Popis: | Yabanci dil kelime ogrenimi/ogretiminde bellek tekniklerinin sistematik kullanimi onemli yer tutmaktadir. Animsaticilar bu stratejinin etkin urunleridir. Bu bellek yardimcilarini uretmeyi ogrenmenin onemli bir yonu yapilarindaki oruntuyu incelemekten gecmektedir. Bu calismanin amaci Turk ogrencilerin Japonca kelime ogrenimini kolaylastirmak amaciyla arastirmayi yurutenler tarafindan sunulan animsatici orneklerdeki oruntuleri analiz etmekti. Ogretilmesi hedeflenen 68 kelimenin cogu bir Japonca-Turkce sozlukten rastgele secildi. Japoncayi secmeli ders olarak alan 54 Turk ogrenciden animsaticilarin her birini hatirlamaya yardimci olup olmadigina dair potansiyel etkisi acisindan arti ya da eksi olarak isaretlemesi istendi. Sonuclarin analizini muteakiben, kismen olumsuz gorusleri olan ve cogunlukla olumlu gorusleri olan katilimcilardan 10 kisilik bir odak grup olusturuldu. Calismaya derinlik kazandirmak icin goruslerini detaylariyla belirtip aciklamalari istendi. Ayrica, animsaticilarin yapisini aciklamak icin kavramsal metafor teorisi ve yaratici dil kullanimlariyla ilgili literature basvuruldu. Arastirmacilarin varsayimi, animsatici orneklerin buyuk cogunlugnun sessel benzerlik ve anlamsal iliskilerden yaratilmis yaratici ve faydaci baglantilar araciligiyla Japonca ogrenen Turk ogrencilerin hedef kelimeleri hatirlamasini kolaylastirdigidir. Hayal gucu yuksek kelime oyunlari hedef kelimelerin zihinde islenmesine derinlik katar ve mizah ogrenciyi motive eder. Birinci dilin yaninda Ingilizce’nin kullanildigi animsaticilar en populer yabanci dil Ingilizce’nin diger yabanci dillerin ogrenimindeki potansiyel yararlarina dair fikirler vermektedir.

FACILITATION POTENTIAL OF THE MNEMONICS FOR THE TEACHING OF JAPANESE VOCABULARY TO TURKISH SPEAKERS Abstract: Systematic use of memory techniques holds an important place in foreign language vocabulary learning/teaching. Mnemonics are the efficient products of this strategy. One of the key aspects of producing these memory aids involves the analysis of the patterns. This study aims to analyze patterns in the mnemonics sample presented by the researchers that conduct the study aiming to facilitate the Japanese vocabulary learning of Turkish students. Most of the 68 target words were selected randomly from a Japanese-Turkish dictionary. Fifty-four Turkish students taking Japanese as an elective were asked to mark plus or minus regarding the potantial recall effect of each mnemonic. Following the analysis of the results, a focus group was constituted of 10 participants, both those with partially negative opinions and those with predominantly positive opinions. In order to provide depth, they were asked to elaborate and explain their opinions. To explain the nature of mnemonics, the contemporary metaphor theory and relevant literature on creative uses of language were also referred to. The researchers’ assumption is that majority of the mnemonics samples can facilitate the Turkish students’ recall of the Japanese vocabulary through creative and pragmatic connections created out of acooustic similarity and semantic relations. Imaginative word plays contribute to the depth of processing the target language and humor motivates the learner. Use of English alongside the first language in the mnemonics has implications for the potential benefit of the most popular foreign language for the learning of other foreign languages. Keywords: Mnemonics, Japanese Vocabulary, Turkish Learners of Japanese, English as a Foreign Language. |
