A Useful Implementation for Increasing Speaking and Writing Achievement of the Learners of Turkish: Strategy of Explanation with Different Words

In this study, it was aimed to reveal whether the training of the explanation strategy with\rdifferent words, which is thought to be a useful practice for continuing the communication\rwithout interruption in the moments that occur due to lack of vocabulary and threaten the\rverbal or written communication process, has a positive effect on the speaking and writing\rsuccess of Turkish learners. For this purpose, an experimental training process of six (6) weeks\rwas planned and the research was designed with a pretest/posttest control group quasiexperimental\rmodel. The study group of the research consists of forty (40) international\rstudents who learn Turkish in two classes at B2 level. The data were collected through the\rachievement test developed by the researcher. At the end of the research, it was understood that\rexperimental training contributed learners to explain unknown words by using other words that\rthey already know and improve the ability to continue speaking when encountering an\runknown word during the conversation, to pursue the act of writing when the word or group of\rwords are unknown that corresponds to what is intended to be expressed while writing a text in\rforeign language, to explain a word or situation by using various features of the word or\rsituation and to be able to make longer sentences and explain the meaning to be produced in\rmore detail. In addition, it was also understood that experimental training helped learners to\rscore better in the speaking and writing sections of the exams.
