NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION IN SOCIOCULTURAL CONTEXT IN TEACHING TURKISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

KoÇak Ahmet, 
2024-02-14

Résumé: The most important element that provides personal and social communication is language. Although the verbal communication aspect of the language predominates, non-verbal language elements are also at the forefront of communication. In addition to some sounds that cannot be described as words, body language along with gestures and facial expressions, is also called “non-verbal communication”. According to research, “non-verbal communication” is more effective than other language elements in ensuring linguistic understanding. Learning a language as a mother tongue or a foreign language is basically similar but different from each other. The most obvious of these differences emerges when using language in the sociocultural field. Because an individual who communicates in his native language does not experience any hesitation in choosing internalized word meanings or in the use of non-verbal communication elements. So much so that native speakers perform non-verbal communication elements that show emotional states compatible with the meaning of the words used in verbal communication, almost involuntarily, that is, as a reflex. However, the same convenience is not available for those who learn the same language as a foreign language: Foreigners who learn the target language must first choose the word to be used in verbal communication, determine which meaning corresponds to the situation, and then try to add non-verbal communication elements compatible with the context to the word. Some of the non-verbal communication elements can sometimes have meaning on their own, without being added to words, that is, as voice or body language. Some non-verbal communication elements, which may be different from the culture of foreign students learning Turkish, are frequently used in Turkish society. In addition to body language, including gestures and facial expressions, there are also some sounds that contain meaning. Learning these sounds and body language, which are unique to Turks and cannot be described as words, by foreigners learning Turkish, is important in terms of adapting to the sociocultural structure of the society in which they learn the language, as well as knowing the meaning details of the target language. Because knowing some sounds or body language movements that have different meanings or no meaning in the student's own culture will eliminate possible misunderstandings or disagreements. As the foreign student's communication becomes easier, his positive thoughts about the target language increase, it will be easier for him to adapt to the new society he joins without experiencing culture shock. Considering the importance of the communicative approach in foreign language teaching, learning the non-verbal communication elements of the target language should be a priority for language learners.

The father tongue. Figures of narrators/characters in postcolonial diglossic context

Algeri Véronic, 
2024-02-11

الملخص: Abstract (150 words) Our exploration delves into linguistic ideologies in colonial and post-colonial contexts through the analysis of autobiographical narratives by Algerian authors like Assia Djebar, Tassadit Imache, Maïssa Bey, Faïza Guène, and Ahmed Djouder. Their identities are molded by the dual presence of colonial history's languages: French, the colonizer's language, encouraged for success and social ascent, vying with the mother tongue, often dialectal Arabic or Berber. This challenges the concept of a "father tongue," as the mother's tongue evolves naturally, while the father tongue (French) is learned, stable, and associated with assimilation. Examining the diglossic ideology, we unveil representations embedded in the imaginary of these languages. We scrutinize attitudes, prejudices, and opinions leading to intergenerational mother tongue loss, replaced by French, creating a unique metalinguistic consciousness and a polyphonic identity among speakers experiencing a sort of missed bilingualism in the context of contemporary francophone Algerian authors' narrative corpus. اللغة الأب. شخصيات السرد/الشخصيات في سياق ما بعد الاستعمار ثنائي اللغة. استكشافنا يغوص في أيديولوجيات اللغة في سياق الاستعمار وما بعد الاستعمار من خلال تحليل سجلات السيرة الذاتية لكتّاب جزائريين مثل أسيا جبار، تاساديت إيماش، مائيسا بي، فايزة چوين، وأحمد جودر. هوياتهم تشكلت بفعل الوجود المتنافر للغتين في تاريخ الاستعمار: الفرنسية، لغة الاستعماري، تُعلم في المدرسة الفرنسية، وتشجع عليها الشخص الأب كضمان للنجاح المهني والتقدم الاجتماعي، وتتنافس مع لغة الأصول، اللغة العربية الدارجة أو اللغة البربرية أو غيرها، التي غالبًا ما تكون اللغة الوحيدة التي تتقنها الأم. ولهذا السبب، إلى جانب مفهوم اللغة الأم، يصبح من المشروع استجواب فرضية اللغة الأب، إذ في حين تنبع اللغة الأم من عناصر بيولوجية واكتساب طبيعي وغير ثابت، وتستثمر في الرمز الشفوي وتتغير على مدى حياة الشخص، تنتج اللغة الأب، أي اللغة الفرنسية، بفعل تعلم مُحَرَّض، وهي ثابتة ومنظمة، وتلتصق بالمجال العام والمؤسساتي، وتتجسد في الكتابات الإدارية، وهي لغة الاندماج ولكن أيضاً للهوية والاستبعاد الاجتماعي. من أجل تحديد العناصر التي تميز التمثيل أو التصوُّر المُسَجل في خيال هاتين اللغتين المتنافستين، نفحص الأيديولوجية الثنائية المنتجة في هذا السياق والتي تمثلت في الكتابات السردية التي تشكل جسم عملنا من قبل الكتّاب الجزائريين المعاصرين الناطقين بالفرنسية. نكشف عن المواقف والتحيزات والآراء التي يمكن أن تؤدي إلى انقطاع في نقل اللغة الأم عبر الأجيال واستبدالها باللغة الفرنسية بين الناطقين الذين يعيشون في حالة من التثنية اللغوية الفاشلة ولكنهم يختبرون وعيًا لغويًا ذا طابع خاص يجعل هويتهم متعددة الأصوات.
