İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenen Türk öğrencilerin yabancı dilde dinleme becerilerine yabancı dilde sözcük biçim ve yabancı dilde sesbilimsel farkındalığın katkısı

The present study aimed to find out to what extent L2 phonological and morphological awareness are related to L2 listening proficiency of 54 adult EFL learners. Regarding the purpose of the study, L2 listening comprehension, phonological awareness and morphological awareness levels of the students was measured with an IELTS test, PAT and MAT (Aksoy, 2015). The scores were analysed through the means of descriptive statistics, correlation and linear regression analysis. The findings indicated a moderate positive correlation between the listening scores and phonological awareness test scores, however morphological awareness test scores of the participants were concluded to have a nonsignificant correlation with listening. All in all, the findings of the current study might suggest that 2nd year ELT students demonstrated a high level of phonological and morphological awareness and these linguistic components were observed to relate to listening comprehension scores of the participants positively. The findings were evaluated within the scope of previous research, and implications and suggestions for future studies were provided with the hope of revealing a deeper understanding about the components of L2 listening proficiency.
