REVIEW OF THE POSTGRADUATE THESIS PREPARED FOR
THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE
TEACHING
ABSTRACT
Today, the developments in information communication
technologies (ICT) have not only affected my daily life, but also led to the
development of new tools used in teaching environments and accordingly
new methods. From this perspective, the integration of technology into
foreign language teaching should not be perceived as an event, but as a
process. Therefore, it is important to make predictions about the process
by observing the changes of the past and present situation of this
integration process as well as future trends and observing the changes
after a certain time interval. The main purpose of this research is to
examine postgraduate theses prepared in Turkey on the use of technology
in foreign language teaching. The research was conducted using a
document review technique, which is one of the qualitative research
methods. The study's study is composed of 79 graduate theses prepared
for the use of technology in foreign language teaching between 2010-2016
and scanned on the database of ve Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) Ulusal
Tez Merkezi. In the study of the determined postgraduate theses, "Social
Sciences Research Assessment Criteria Form" adapted from Kırcaali-İftar
(2005), Gay and Airasian (2000) was used. According to the findings of
the research, it was determined that the related undergraduate master
theses are intensive and Information Communication Technologies (ICT)
is the most frequently used technology type in foreign language teaching.
In addition, it has been determined that the most trending topic is
"training foreign language teachers". It is thought that the research will
provide effective and efficient guidance for future research on technology
use in foreign language teaching.
