    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Social Work Perspective of Civil Society Organizations in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) [i.e. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)] come out to be important entities due to the recent changes in the traditional perception about the state and the restriction of the power of the government. CSOs are known to play key roles in the determination of the political, cultural, economic and social boundaries of state and the political identities that are at the core of the liberal democratic system, and in forming of the social policies. The controversies and debates over the non-governmental or civil society issues seem to focus to a great extent on the relation between these organizations and state. Non-governmental or civil society refers to &quot;apolitical society&quot;. This does not refer to a society that is aloof from politics rather envisions a society that has spaces that government cannot intervene. Moreover, this type of society is in a position to influence political authority, shape and articulate its existence and demands that are often social in nature independent of the political authority.     CSOs that attained an important status in the liberal democratic system contribute to the development of the society; help the solutions of problems in a wide variety of areas ranging from economic development to struggling poverty, from environment protection to animal rights, from education to collaboration in the social cultural areas. In this study, CSOs that vary with respect to the functions they perform in social life are viewed from a social work perspective. To this end, the study begins with a brief mention of the historical course and legal foundations of civil society in Turkey. Subsequently, focusing on a sample of CSOs that deal with primarily charity work in Turkey in terms of their goals, operations and organizational structure the study attempts to develop a perspective regarding the current status and activities of these organizations in Turkey.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The specificities of interpersonal communication are actually the  specificities of social inclusion and the functioning in different social  relations. These specificities (skills) provide an effective and a satisfactory  communication with other people. Mainly, it consists of recognizing the  feedback and an articulation of positive response, the empathy with  others, ability to listen to others, the delicacy of self-presentation, precise  observation of him/her and others, as well as controlling the use of verbal  and non-verbal cues. Listening skills relies on non-verbal communication.  Meanwhile, it includes the knowledge on the issue, acceptance of the  other person as a partner in communication, regardless of a potential  agreement or disagreement in terms of attitudes, beliefs and value  systems. Perception skills are identified as three levels of perception:  recognition, reflection and action. Practically, this means making  appropriate observations about the other person, as well as avoiding hasty  conclusions, and making a careful assessment of the formation of a proper  response to the perception of other people.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A special attention to speech acts is required when teaching and learning foreign language aiming to achieve more natural communication in a foreign language. We need to take care not just about language communication, but about social communication as well. It is of big importance to be familiar and to get know very well the patterns of behavior and customs of that cultural environment. The subject of this paper are the speech acts in every day communication in Greek language which are used for expressing permission, allowance, gratitude, greeting, apology, congratulation and leave-taking expressions. First of all, we are going to consider speech acts of interpersonal language function in every day communication and try to determine their alternations and equivalents in Serbian language.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this paper is to discuss how are women affected by the collapse  of the state socialist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe but the main focus will be  ex-Yugoslavia countries. Social status and employment of women will be discussed,  especially tertiary-educated women. I am particularly interested in quality of life that  has changed and I will argue that these changes affect men and women in different  ways i.e. that women lost much more of their quality of life due to great social  changes. I am going to use different sources, primary researches, but I have also  conducted small case study of women scientists working at the university.  In conclusion I will show that “opening” and “liberalization” of new labour markets  contributed to loss of the quality of life but especially forced women to change their  ways of life. This is very interesting in light of the fact that in countries discussed  woman is still expected to fulfil her domestic roles first and then to have successful  carrier as well.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: teaching methodology, theory of a foreign language (French) coursebook, structural components of a coursebook, general and linguistic competences development, coursebook analysis  ABSTRACT  This work deals with the assumption that not only are teaching objectives accomplished through mere content of teaching materials, but through all its aspects, as well, where the important role is played by the structure, the way of involving and ordering sections of a coursebook. The discussion of this issue is based on the attitudes of authors interested in the theory of a coursebook on one side, and the analysis of certain French coursebooks, on the other side.  The central part of this writing is based on the definition of a coursebook, which implies its structuring, and the definition of a structure, which emphasizes the importance of the appropriate distribution of structural elements. It investigates the importance, function and position of every single component of a coursebook, and offers their analysis which has been carried out in certain French coursebooks using analythic, synthetic, inductive and deductive method. In order to encourage the development of linguistic competences, a couresebook is required to have a preface, contents, lesson introduction, lesson, recapitulation sections and additional sections which need to be carefully and thoroughly designed. More precisely, a coursebook must motivate students through its structure, engage them in intellectual activities and help them think critically, encourage their individual work, develop their ethical and aesthetic values, draw their attention to crosscurricular learning, make them become aware of the system that exists in the materials.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[As the social world changes, we need new concepts to understand it. The most important change in recent centuries has been the historical increase of consumption. Lifestyle and basic cultural values have changed in Iranian villages in the past half century. In fact, in Iranian villages, some sort of &quot;Iranian rural modernity&quot; has emerged. This paper has attempted to review the terms of lifestyle and indicators. And then it pays to examine the effect of pistachio orchards spread over the rural lifestyle both quantitative and qualitative methods. In this study, theories of sociologists Bourdieu and Giddensare used to study lifestyle, and Ronald Inglehart and other sociologists’ to analyze generational replacement. In qualitative research method, we have used rapid rural assessment, participatory approach, and semi-structured interviews. Interviews transcend walk, and group discussion were among the techniques used in this study. In quantitative part, 440 people from three generations living in the villages were sampled at random Research findings show that consistent with Bourdieu&#039;s “distinction theory” economic capitalist associated with lifestyle as the main hypothesis of the research. But the greatest impact is related to generation. As Bourdieu&#039;s theory, economic status does not determine the lifestyle changes.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Study of Intercultural Competence Profiles of Students in Learning Turkishas a Foreign Language]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Intercultural Comminication  ABSTRACT  In recent years, with the development of technology and transportation facilities people of different languages and cultures communicate with each other more and more because of such reasons education, trade, tourism, etc. Nowadays, national borders lose its significance. An event anywhere in the world can affect the lives of people who live in the other parts of the world. According to Marshall McLuhan, the world turned to a global village.  To know foreign languages has become a necessity to keep pace with the developments and changes in the world. As a parallel to this situation, the methods developed for the teaching of a foreign language have increasingly diversified. For language teaching, it is not enough to teach specific words and grammar structures. In order to use a language in a competent manner, the language of the dominant culture is also required. A behavior adopted as appropriate in a culture may not be considered appropriate in another culture in accordance with the behavior of a culture, customs, traditions, social experiences, belief systems, etc. Non-verbal communication behavior does not express the same meaning in all cultures. Language learners should have cultural awareness and ability to deal with different cultures. With these needs of foreign language teaching, the concept of intercultural competence came to the fore.  Intercultural competence is ability to communicate effectively among individuals from different cultures. These individuals can learn about different cultures and accept them while gaining awareness of their own culture. The approach of intercultural competence in foreign language teaching aims to get language learners’ curiosity towards the target culture, to understand the others by emphasizing and to tolerate the differences. This situation avoids misunderstandings and conflicts due to the features of different cultures. For effective communication of people learning a foreign language, intercultural competence is of great importance.  In this study, on the basis of the importance of foreign language teaching intercultural competence, the proficiency of the students who learns Turkish as a foreign language in Gazi University TÖMER is tried to be determined. In the survey, some questions are directed to students about Turkish culture and the links between their own culture and Turkish culture as a target culture have been tried to determine. For the interpretation of the questionnaires, Milton Bennet’s Development Model of Intercultural Sensitivity is used as a sample. In this study, the concepts of intercultural competence have been introduced and the importance of cross-cultural competence, cultural interaction in teaching Turkish as a foreign language is discussed. It is stated that it is necessary to promote the acquisition of intercultural competence in foreign language teaching. In recent years, the number of people who want to learn Turkish as a foreign language has been increased and thus, the studies in the field of teaching Turkish as a foreign language are speeding up. In this study, it is tried to make a contribution to the studies conducted in this area.]]></dcterms:abstract>
