THE ROLE OF SUBTITLE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Today it is accepted that learning a language by seeing, hearing and by getting to know the culture is a more appropriate approach. In this sense, films in foreign language teaching are important audio-visual tools in terms of reflecting the fineness of the language, culture and customs and traditions, clothes and lifestyle of a community. In language teaching, it is very important to know what words and expressions are used in which context and environment and to pronounce them correctly. Many language learners benefit from this audiovisual tool because of the contributions of films to foreign language learning. Especially in the developing of listening comprehension skills, learners prefer to watch films on foreign language. There are three options: watching the film in its original language without subtitles, watching the film in its original language with subtitles in source language and watching the film in its original language through subtitle translation in target language.In this study, it has been searched which method and the reason English language teaching department students prefer to improve their English language skills. Therefore, the factors that should be considered in the selection of films to be used in foreign language learning, the subtitle as a method of film translation, the place of subtitles in language learning, the positive and negative aspects of film translation with subtitle method have been dealt with and some suggestions have been made. As a research tool, appropriate sampling questionnaire has been distributed to the students and collected data has been analyzed by SPSS program. As a result of the research, students believe that watching films has improved their listening comprehension skills and has a positive contribution to the development of their speaking skills. Thus, they prefer English subtitles more

The Evaluatıon Of Physıcal And Motorıc Propertıes Of Elementary Students Ages 7-9

AMAÇ: Araştırmanın amacı, 7-9 yaş grubu erkek ve kız ilköğretim öğrencilerinin fiziksel ve motorik özelliklerinin cinsiyete göre değerlendirilmesidir.   YÖNTEMLER: Çalışmaya 7 yaş grubu 200 kız, 200 erkek, 8 yaş grubu 155 kız, 147 erkek ve 9 yaş grubu 178 kız, 170 erkek öğrenci katıldı.   Gönüllülerin boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı, vücut yağ oranı ölçüldü ve Beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) hesaplandı. Motorik özelliklerin tespitinde her iki el pençe kuvveti, otur uzan testi ile esneklik, dikey sıçrama ve kassal dayanıklılık için 30 sn. mekik testleri uygulandı. Veriler istatistiksel olarak SPSS 15.0 programında değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Erkek ve kız çocukların 7 yaş grubunda fiziksel özelliklerinde VYO dışında anlamlı farklılık bulunmazken, 8 yaş grubunda VYO dışında diğer parametrelerinde anlamlı farklılık tespit edildi. 9 yaş grubunda ise erkek ve kız çocukların tüm fiziksel özelliklerinde anlamlı farklılık bulundu. 7 yaş ve 9 yaş grubunda erkek ve kız çocukların motorik özellikleri karşılaştırıldığında sağ ve sol pençe kuvveti, mekik 30 sn parametrelerinde anlamlı farklılık olduğu tespit edildi. 8 yaş grubunda ise sadece mekik 30 sn parametresi anlamlı farklı olarak tespit edildi. SONUÇ: Spor yapmayan 7-9 yaş grubu ilköğretim kız ve erkek çocukların benzer fiziksel özelliklere sahip olmasına karşın performansla ilgili fiziksel uygunluk test sonuçlarında genellikle erkek çocukların daha iyi performans gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir.   OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to evaluate the physical and motor characteristics 7-9 age group of the boys and girls according to their gender.   METHODS: The study was performed with 200 females and 200 males of 7 years, 155 females and 147 males of 8 years and 178 males and 170 females of 9 years of age students. Physical characteristics of the volunteers' body height and weight, body fat percentage were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The determination of the motoric features, hand grip of the both hands, sit reach test and flexibility, muscular endurance and vertical jump for 30 seconds shuttle tests were performed. Data were evaluated statistically by SPSS 15.0 program.   RESULTS: The boys and girls in the age group of 7 were not significant except for the physical properties of the VYO, 8 age group, except VYO other parameters were significant. 9 age group of boys and girls were found significant differences in all physical properties. In the study, when the boys and girls of 7 and 9 years group compared with motoric properties, except the parameters of flexibility and vertical jump (right and left hand grip, sit-ups 30 sec.) were found to be significant. The shuttle 30 seconds was found to be the only significant parameter of 8 age group.   CONCLUSION: 7-9 age group of primary school boys and girls do not play sports despite having similar physical properties, performance-related physical fitness test results have been found to generally perform better than boy

THE INVESTIGATION OF THE VISUAL AND AUDITORY REACTION TIMES OF 14-16 YEARS OLD AGED TENNIS AND VOLEYBALL PLAYERS

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 14 - 16 yaş voleybol ve tenis oyuncularının görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanlarının incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya sağ eli dominant 12 voleybol ve 12 tenis oyuncusu toplam 24 sağlıklı erkek sporcu gönüllü olarak katıldı. Gönüllülerin yaş, boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı, beden kütle indeksleri, görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanları ölçüldü. Ölçümler laboratuvar ortamında araştırmacılar tarafından gerçekleştirildi. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiki analizi bilgisayar ortamında SPSS 15.0 programında Mann Whitney U-testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: İstatistiksel değerlendirme sonucunda; boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı, BKİ, görsel ve işitsel reaksiyonlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık bulunmadı (p<0,05). Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda voleybol ve tenis oyuncularının görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanlarında benzerlik olduğu ve bu benzerliğin her iki branşın içeriğinde bulunan hızlı uyaranlara çabuk cevap oluşturma gerekliliğinden kaynaklandığı düşünüldü. Objective: At this study, it was aimed to investigate the visual and auditory reaction times of 14-16 years old aged tenis and voleyball players. Material and method: For this study, 12 tennis and 12 voleyball player totally 24 healthy right handed athletes were voluntarily participated. Age, height, weight, body mass index, visual and auditory reaction time parameters were measured. Measurements were done by researcher in laboratory area. Data were recorded on computer environment by using a program called SPSS 15.0. For statistical analysis of Mann Whitney U-test was performed. Results: No meaningful differences were found with height, weight, body mass index, the visual and auditory reaction time parameters (p<0.05). Conclusion: At the end of the study, it was thought that there are some similarties between the visual and auditory reaction times of tennis and voleyball players and it was also thought that this similarity result from the need of quick response to fast stimuli

Source identification of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the urban environment of İstanbul

In this study, İstanbul-Tuzla Region atmosphere is selected as the working area because of this region contains shipyards and shipyard-related side product industries. To examine the PAHs as atmospheric inputs, 46 ambient air samples were collected in Tuzla region of Istanbul, Turkey at 2010. The sample collection was carried out as monthly. Additionally, the volume of the air was drawn and meteorological data recorded. The PAH concentrations were classified as hot and cold season samples. Due to the particle-bond character of PAHs and condensation in cold, the high concentrations were encountered in winter months. Monthly average total PAH concentrations fluctuated between 7.4 ng m-3 (in March)-0.05 ng m-3 (in August). The concentrations of total PAHs in cold season were almost hundred times higher than those in hot season. The fossil fuel (gasoline and diesel fuel) combustion was found to be the main source of PAHs
