Abstract

The adaptation of education to the constantly evolving technology is inevitable, and significant advancements are particularly observed in the field of foreign language teaching. Technological developments are spreading across all aspects of our lives at an unprecedented speed and scope. Therefore, the changes and advancements in technology also lead to the emergence of new techniques in education. E-learning, which stands for electronic learning, has been developed over the years to support foreign language learning and promote autonomous learning. E-learning platforms supporting the learning of German as a foreign language play a significant role. Among these e-learning platforms, MintiCity e-learning platform is the most widely used platform in our country. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the MintiCity e-learning platform on students learning German as a second foreign language. To achieve this aim, scientific data were collected through a survey from 160 students using the MintiCity e-learning platform among students studying German as a second foreign language in private Maya middle schools in Ankara. In the survey, the motivation scale was used to determine students thoughts on the MintiCity e-learning platform, and the quantitative data obtained were analysed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) statistical package program. Quantitative content analysis was used as the research design in the thesis.
