This paper is set out to examine the image of the Turk and Turkish material culture in Shakespeare’s play in perspective of ‘the historical background’, ‘Renaissance moulding the medium of the era’, ‘rediscovery of the ancient texts’ and ‘the history of emotions’. In order to appreciate the ‘essentia’ of what it means to be the Turk in Renaissance period, the image of the Turk is to be interrogated with the embodiment of historical background that is conflated with Ottoman Empire’s expansion into the lands long owned by the Christians.The prominent factor dominating the Rennaissance era and Reformation was the dichotomy of Catholic Church and Protestants. While unfolding the religious dichotomy, the reader should take cognition of not only the tensions within the Christianity but also the conflicts between what is known as Islam and its prophet and Christianity.It is not a coincidence that the history of emotions and religious difference are the profound motives.The play ‘Othello’ begins with the Ottomans’ preparation for intervening in Cyprus, however it is also pointed out that the Ottoman fleet changes the route to Rhodus. The feature of ‘changability’ is always associated with what is ‘negative’ in Eurocentric literature. Changeability had been associated with the mood of alterity, femininity and african (Mediterranean). Renaissance is the period when the antique (conglemoration of ancient Greek texts) texts were reopened and translated. The association of wisdom and rationality with the God Apollo (West), and the association of emotional explosion, mood, and changeability with Dionysus (East) is what the clasical texts reveal to the literate Renaissance men. All of these images and impressions can be delved into through a deep discourse analysis which should be the first aim while teaching a foreing a piece of literature to the Muslim or other types of audience who do not have/have not had the chance to intervene and breath in within the milieu of Eurocentrism. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To facilitate this task both teachers and learners need to use a lot of instructional materials in EFL classes. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, several technological devices have appeared to be utilized for the benefit of language teaching. Most of the learners, digital natives, expect to be provided with these instructional materials as well as the traditional ones. This paper stresses on the question “what kind of instructional materials are employed by the foreign language teachers at elementary schools?” To do this, during the course of School Experience, 128 prospective English teachers majoring at ELT department observed 38 teachers of English working at 14 elementary schools. While observing, they were required to fill in the Classroom Evaluation Form which included the items regarding the use of instructional materials that a foreign language teacher should use. The descriptive results have revealed that most of the teachers are still reluctant to use many of the materials because of some reasons (excuses) such as overcrowded classes, lack of time for preparation, time constraint of the curriculum, working load, burnout etc. It is unfortunately true that coursebook still remains the only indispensible instructional material that most of the teachers posses whereas some other materials are rarely appreciated. The study suggests that apart from coursebooks teachers should use other instructional materials to motivate learners and offer an interactive teaching atmosphere. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The course is designed in a way so as to help prospective teachers improve their classroom practice, understand of that practice, to contribute to the knowledge base of teaching and learning, and to help them adopt an inquiry based approach to learning and teaching. The classroom-based collaborative action research is adopted. In order to ensure pre-service teachers a more active role in their professional development, participants are provided opportunities for active interpretive processes that help them examine the complex contexts of classrooms and schools.

It defines the one’s judgement by the first impression to be permanent or to influence the following judgements. Migration of Turkish workers into France started at around 1970’s. Workers who sought a role in a new society after migration, struggled for integration with the society. But some issues that were faced during integration process revealed the reality that integration was not a unilateral fact. The perception of first group of workers by French society in the beginning influenced the judgments in the following years. However, tenacity of Turkish workers during their struggle for existence in business and social life occasionally caused some negative cases. Experiences about conserving the cultural identity and usage of mother tongue caused some changes on the process of turning into a new society in the 2000s by the help of developing technology. Now, a new process arose which doesn’t speak about integration but protects the culture and identity as a member of the society they live in and demolishes, more or less, the prejudicies about first generation created by the society. Turks in Alzas region of France protected their cultural identity and mother tongue by watching television broadcast from Turkey and strengthening their relation with Turkey and Turkish language. Educational successes scored by the third generation young Turks started to weaken the impression of previous generations as workers only working and earning money. This change has led them to be acknowledged in the society as educated individuals. As sensitive individuals about culture and identity issues, they helped to create “all different all equal” perception by their communication with the society. In our research, we are going to analyse the evolution process of Turks in Alzas region of France, whose adventure starts being a worker, in accordance with intercultural communication, identity and native language terms � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
