Üniversite Hazırlık Öğrencilerinin Ortak Avrupa Dil Referans Çerçevesi B1 Standartlarına Ulaşma Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi
Özet
This study was conducted to investigate a public university’s and a foundation
university’s English preparatory students’ attainment levels to the Common
European Language Reference Framework’s B1 standards and to determine their
self-efficacy perceptions in the four language skills. An international test was used
to identify students' levels in the four language skills. "Self-Efficacy Scale"
developed by the researcher was applied to evaluate students' self-efficacy in the
four language skills. "Instructor Program Evaluation Questionnaire" was used to
take the views of the instructors. When the universities were evaluated in terms of
reaching the goals in four skills at the end of the instructional program, it was
found that both universities did not achieve very high scores in all four language
skills, particularly in speaking and writing skills. The analysis conducted regarding
the self-efficacy perceptions of students in reading skills, the majority of the
students in both universities expressed themselves as being able to perform B1
level reading skills moderately. Most students could perform listening skills
moderately and above. The majority of students were found to believe that their
ability to communicate was at moderate levels and above, according to the
average of self-efficacy perceptions in reaching B1 level speaking skills. In both
universities, the skills of students with the highest self-efficacy skills were speaking
skills. According to the results of the research, students at both universities
considered themselves successful at moderate and above levels in writing skills.
