In this context, the current undergraduate program and the new undergraduate program were handled in a comparative manner. The content of the program has been examined in detail and it has been revealed whether the conditions and basic problems of prospective teachers of German are taken into consideration. In this sense, the opinions of the students about the extent to which the new undergraduate program can meet the expectations in terms of occupational knowledge and especially field knowledge were consulted. The method of research is descriptive research model. The universe of the study consist of the prospective teachers of German, the sample of the study consist of 80 students studying in the Department of German Language Education at Ondokuz Mayıs University in 2018-2019 academic year. As a data collection tool, a questionnaire which was prepared and applied to evaluate the undergraduate program of the German Language and Education Department of the Faculty of Education of Çukurova University was used. Percentage and frequency values were calculated by evaluating the answers of the students participating in the research. Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) 11.0 was used to determine the frequency and percentage values. According to the findings of the research, it was found that the conditions and qualifications of the students were not taken into consideration in the new curriculum and the program did not meet the expectations especially in terms of field education. Almost half of the students stated that general culture courses and vocational courses in the program were sufficient, but field courses were not sufficient. As the hours and credits of the field courses are reduced in the new curriculum, it has become difficult for students to receive a comprehensive language education. In this sense, some solutions were proposed in the study to the undergraduate program problems and recommendations were made. * Bu makale 14.

Thirty studies are addressed in this context. The findings of numerous original studies are synthesized and merged by using systematic review. The content analysis method was used to analyze the data. With this method, the data were coded by categorizing them into themes. The findings demonstrated that using technology in self-regulated language learning improves and promotes students' language learning in affective, linguistic, metacognitive, cognitive, and sociocultural areas. Thematically, studies focused mostly on affective and linguistic aspects. The research primarily used quantitative and mixed approaches as methodology. The findings revealed that, from an affective standpoint, the use of technology favorably influences learners' attitudes, motivation, and perceptions toward self-regulated language learning. Linguistically learners' language skills improved and languagelearning outcomes progressed positively. In metacognitive terms, students' ability to plan their own learning increased. It is determined that learning cooperatively in the sociocultural sense improves self-regulated language learning. In terms of cognition, using cognitive strategies is found to support technologysupported self-regulated language learning. The study ends with some implications for doing more practical studies on the use of technology in self-regulated language learning.

To do so, first of all, the document analysis method was used. The books taught in preparatory German language classes in Turkey were gone through. The first two volumes of Menschen and Netzwerk, which are most commonly used of these types of books, were chosen to be examined in the study. Grammar exercises in the books were evaluated methodologically using Ellis' (2002) typology. The findings demonstrated that the grammar exercises in these two books, which were taught in preparatory German language classes, were based on the inductive method; nevertheless, both books were inadequate to use original material, and the exercises in the books consist primarily of written material. When the type of exercise is examined, it has been found that exercises based on oral production are more meaning and context-oriented than exercises based on written production. In terms of meaningful and contextualized grammar instruction, it was found that Menschen book is one step ahead of the Netzwerk book due to the greater quantity of input-based exercises based on free oral production as well as discovery based exercises. In conclusion, this study revealed that the investigated textbooks contribute to meaningful and contextualized grammar instruction, but there is a greater need for exercises in the textbooks that emphasize meaning and context. Nevertheless, the study concludes that, in addition to textbooks, supplementary materials should be used in grammar instruction.

To do so, first of all, the document analysis method was used. The books taught in preparatory German language classes in Turkey were gone through. The first two volumes of Menschen and Netzwerk, which are most commonly used of these types of books, were chosen to be examined in the study. Grammar exercises in the books were evaluated methodologically using Ellis' (2002) typology. The findings demonstrated that the grammar exercises in these two books, which were taught in preparatory German language classes, were based on the inductive method; nevertheless, both books were inadequate to use original material, and the exercises in the books consist primarily of written material. When the type of exercise is examined, it has been found that exercises based on oral production are more meaning and context-oriented than exercises based on written production. In terms of meaningful and contextualized grammar instruction, it was found that Menschen book is one step ahead of the Netzwerk book due to the greater quantity of input-based exercises based on free oral production as well as discovery based exercises. In conclusion, this study revealed that the investigated textbooks contribute to meaningful and contextualized grammar instruction, but there is a greater need for exercises in the textbooks that emphasize meaning and context. Nevertheless, the study concludes that, in addition to textbooks, supplementary materials should be used in grammar instruction.

In this direction, exercise typologies that can be used to improve speaking skills are discussed in the research. Speaking skill, one of the four basic skills, is a skill area that students have difficulties at all levels. Speaking skill can develop based on cognitive and psychological effort, as well as much practice. In this sense, it is important to create exercises and communicative situations that appeal to the students' level in order to improve their speaking skills in a foreign language. Documentary scanning method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study.Firstly, theoretical information about speaking and speaking skills was mentioned. The difficulties faced by students in developing their speaking skills and the reasons for these difficulties were examined.Two different exercise typologies for improving speaking skills have been handled and compared.These exercise typologies are basically explained under the titles of reproduction, reconstruction and production.In the research, lesson plans which according to these exercise typologies were planed and demonstrating the stages of speaking skill practically were given.The study also offers suggestions to increase students' motivation in improving their speaking skills.As a result, it has been determined that the exercise typologies discussed in the research can provide convenience to students and teachers in order to follow a conscious and systematic way in the development of speaking skills.This study is important as it can guide students both in improving their speaking skills in their education life and in organizing activities for communicative skills in their future professional lives.

Tag für Tag werden im Fremdsprachenunterricht neben Lehrbüchern immer mehr qualifizierte Materialien benötigt die das Lernen unterstützen. An der Spitze dieser Materialien stehen Comics, die sowohl visuelle als auch sprachliche Elemente enthalten. Comics sind sehr wichtige Materialien im Fremdsprachenunterricht, um eine entspannte und anregende Lernumgebung zu schaffen. Als allererstes, es wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein konzeptioneller Rahmen für Comics geschaffen und die Beiträge von Comics zum Sprachunterricht hervorgehoben. In der Studie wurde von der Dokumentenanalysemethode, eine der qualitativen Forschungsmethoden, Gebrauch gemacht. Als Ergebnis der Analyse wurde eine Comic-Serie ausgewählt, die als effektiv und nützlich für den Deutschunterricht angesehen wird. Diese Comic-Serie beschreibt das Leben des deutschen Dichters und Schriftstellers Goethe und entspricht dem Sprachniveau A2/B1. Es wurde praktisch erklärt, wie die ausgewählten Comics eingesetzt werden können, um die Deutsche Lese-, Hör-, Sprechund Schreibfertigkeiten zu entwickeln. Die Ergebnisse der Studie belegen, dass Comics dazu beitragen können, grundlegende Sprachfertigkeiten zu entwickeln und die Lernumgebung zu bereichern. In diesem Zusammenhang wurden Lehrenden und Forschern Vorschläge zum häufigeren Einsatz von Comics im DaF-Unterricht gemacht.
