More elective courses are placed in the curriculum of teaching departments in line with The Council of Higher Education (CoHE) in the last years. This study intended to examine and suggest the integration of Media and Communication course into ELT programme. This research study used a mixed-method design. The first part of the study contains content analysis of the data gathered from the documents. Research articles, books, university syllabi and other documents from Google were examined to form the items of the survey for pre-service EFL teachers. Following that, the possible contents to be included within the survey were ordered and composed a survey. The survey was carried out on pre-service EFL students for the purpose of finding out their views on an ideal Media and Communication course syllabus. SPSS was put into use for the analysis of the quantitative results. Qualitative results revealed that there were 40 essential topics based on the analysis of the documents. Prospective teachers’ preferences were presented at the quantitative phase. Topics for “Media and Communication” course were suggested at the final part of the study.

To answer the inquiry of the current study, they completed a pre- and a post- vocabulary knowledge test to identify their performances in learning EFL vocabulary, and a questionnaire to examine their perceptions. Findings showed statistically significant differences between the mean scores in favor of the students. Furthermore, the results showed that this improvement in learning EFL vocabulary performance may be largely attributable to WhatsApp application. Students’ perceptions towards this application proved to be positive.

Çalışma, aynı zamanda tersyüz edilmiş model uygulamasında cinsiyete göre, hem öğrencilerin algılarında hem de yazma performanslarının iyileştirilmesinde anlamlı bir fark olup olmadığını tespit etmeye çalışmıştır. Bu amaçla, öğrencilere yazmayı öğrenmelerini sağlamak için on hafta süren tersyüz edilmiş bir öğrenme modeli uygulanmıştır. Model, öğretici videolardan ve çevrimiçi öğrenme materyallerinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmaya Türkiye'nin doğusunda yer alan bir devlet üniversitesinden 101 öğrenci katılmıştır. Yazmadaki performanslarını tanımlamak için iki ön test ve son test ve algılarını incelemek için de hem anket hem de öğrenci günlüklerini tamamlamışlardır. Yazmadaki test puanları, SPSS 22 üzerinde puanlama değerlendirme tablosu ile ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca, anket sonuçları da SPSS 22'de hesaplanmıştır. Öte yandan, öğrenci günlükleri dört kategori kodlama sistemi ile ölçülmüştür. Bulgular, öğrenciler lehine ortalama puanlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar göstermiştir. Aynı zamanda, elde edilen sonuçlar, yazma performansındaki bu gelişmenin, büyük ölçüde tersyüz edilmiş sınıf modeli metoduna atfedildiğini göstermiştir. Öğrencilerin tersyüz edilmiş modele ilişkin algılarının olumlu olduğu belirtilmiştir. Buna rağmen, tersyüz edilmiş sınıf modelinde cinsiyet konusunda, öğrencilerin algıları ve yazma performanslarının gelişimi açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır. Abstract This study mainly aims to find out whether there is any significant change in freshman students' perceptions and any significant improvement in their writing performances whose proficiency of English is at the pre-intermediate level, in terms of writing skills in flipped classroom model. The study also sought to identify whether there is any significant difference in both students' perceptions and improvements of their writing performance in the flipped model implementation by gender. To this end, ten-week long flipped model learning was implemented to instruct students to learn writing. The model consisted of instructional videos and online learning materials. 101 students from an urban university located in the eastern part of Turkey participated in the study. They completed two pre-tests and post-tests to identify their performances in writing, and both a questionnaire and student diaries to examine their perceptions. The test scores in writing were measured with a human scoring rubric on SPSS 22. Also, the results of the questionnaire were computed on SPSS 22. On the other hand, student diaries were measured with a four-category coding system. Findings showed statistically significant differences between the mean scores in favor of the students. Furthermore, the results showed that this improvement in writing performance is largely attributable to the flipped model method of learning. Students' perceptions towards the flipped model were stated to be positive. However, no significant difference was found in terms of both the perceptions of the students and the improvement of their writing performances regarding the flipped classroom model by gender.

Bu amaçla, öğrencilere bu uygulama aracılığıyla 8 hafta süren kelime öğrenme uygulanmıştır. Bir devlet üniversitesinden 79 öğrenci çalışmaya katılmıştır. Mevcut araştırmaya cevap bulmak için, öğrencilerin EFL kelimelerini öğrenmedeki performanslarını belirlemek amacıyla bir ön-ve son-kelime bilgisi testi ve algılarını incelemeye yönelik bir anket doldurdular. Bulgular, ortalama puanlar arasında öğrenci lehine anlamlı fark olduğunu göstermiştir. Dahası, sonuçlar EFL kelime öğrenme performansındaki bu gelişmenin büyük ölçüde WhatsApp uygulamasına atfedilebileceğini göstermiştir. Öğrencilerin bu uygulamaya yönelik algılarının olumlu olduğu kanıtlanmıştır.

With their outstanding features, these smart devices have a highly varying application infrastructure. Considering language learning, the use of this application infrastructure has opened new doors of opportunities for both instructors and students. The aim of this 4 week-long study was to examine the impact made by the use of smartphones on the students' perceptions with regards to EFL vocabulary learning. A quasi-experimental research design was implemented to find the changes in the perceptions of the students. The results revealed that the use of smartphones can aid EFL vocabulary learning. Further, the students' perceptions were positive.

These materials aid the students to become acquainted with the real-life circumstances and make the instruction of English more authentic. Moreover, in the communicative language instruction, authentic teaching is expected to occur since the use of authentic objects and materials in the classrooms is boosted. Therefore, the EFL instructors are required to make use of a number of media components in their classrooms. Also, with the arrival of notable learner focused approaches, EFL instructors are more stimulated to engage their students in their own acquisition of knowledge or skills through study and experience. They guide their students to become aware of the link between school learning and their lives and experiences. They improve their students' objective analysis and evaluation processes and their ability to solve problems in an effective and timely manner without any impediments. This may be fulfilled with the use of media to improve their language skills. From this point of view, this study aims at providing the most frequently preferred contents of Media and Communication elective course to suggest topics for Media and Communication elective course for ELT departments in education faculties. In order to achieve this particular aim, this research intends to investigate relevant literature on Media and Communication. Key words: ELT Departments, Teacher Education, Media and Communication
