DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF TEXTS TO BE USED IN TEACHING TURKISH TO FOREIGNERS: KARsın

Abstract

The use of text has an important place in Teaching Turkish to foreigners. For this reason, literary text simplifications have been made to be used in this field.  However, the studies performed are not at an adequate level. Due to the fact that the simplification process takes time, alternative ways have been sought. In this process, the KARsın Proficiency Program, developed to measure the proficiency of the Level Determination Exams used in Teaching Turkish to Foreigners, was encountered. Apart from the question examination, it has been seen that KARsın determines the vocabulary of the texts and offers the user their compatibility with the level in the field of Teaching Turkish to Foreigners. It was requested to determine the availability of books Cemile and Ninth Ward Of  Foreign Affairs  in Teaching Turkish to Foreigners. For this reason, these books have been uploaded to KARsın and some data have been obtained. According to the results obtained from KARsın, it has been determined beforehand how these two books will be reciprocated for a learner who learns a language with the Ak Başat, Gazi and Yedi İklim books used in Teaching Turkish to Foreigners. It is hoped that researchers who want to study on this subject will contribute to the creation of a text pool resource by determining the levels of different texts with KARsın.
