    An Investigation into ELT Professionals' Research Culture in Turkey
    (Turkish Education Assoc, 2011) Koksal, Dincay; Razi, Salim
    This study aims to reveal English language academicians and postgraduate students' ambitions about involving in research studies in a developing country, Turkey. To collect data, a questionnaire was constructed and delivered to 159 ELT academicians and students to learn about their experiences in research and writing a research report, and perception of difficulty in different sections of a research report. Besides, semi-constructed interviews were also administered to 12 academicians. The results indicated significant differences between academicians and students. Besides, discussion was regarded as the most difficult part whereas writing references was the easiest. Although participants reported their experiences in constructing the skeleton of a research paper, they regarded themselves weak in long run studies.

    Developing a Scale for Self-Regulated L2 Learning Strategy Use
    (Hacettepe Univ, 2018) Koksal, Dincay; Dundar, Sinem
    This study aims to develop a scale on the use of self-regulated L2 learning strategies based on Oxford's (2011) Strategic Self-Regulation ((SR)-R-2) Model. The study was conducted with 305 (232 female, 73 male) participants. In order to determine construct validity, EFA and CFA were applied. Depending on the results of EFA, the scale is composed of 35 items on a 4 point Likert type embedded in 6 dimensions (the total variance explained is 41.625%, factor loadings of 35 items vary from .80 to .35.). CFA confirmed the results of EFA, and the findings showed that the model had acceptable fit (chi 2/df=1298.61/545). The corrected item total correlation values of items in the scale range from .44 to .76. The results of t-test with top 27% and bottom 27% groups revealed that the differences are significant (p<.05) for all items and factors. The overall reliability of the model demonstrated that the model is acceptable with a Cronbach's alpha statistic of 0.85. The findings reveal that the scale is a valid and reliable instrument which can be used to identify L2 learners' strategy preferences and to what extent they use them in language education contexts.
