    Democracy in EFL classrooms
    (Selcuk University, 2020) Kasimi, Y.
    In the simplest term, democracy may be defined as a set of views and standards towards freedom, however it includes an array of approaches which have been framed over the history of mankind. In short, democracy is the systematized form of freedom. A democratic country is not possible without the freedom of expression. Freedom of expression fosters publics to clearly put forward their demands on how the authorities should perform their duties. Thus, this study inquires the visionary underpinnings of third persons in a phenomenological custom. The data of the study were gathered through a questionnaire designed by Yildirim and Türko?lu (2017) and semistructured interview questions structured by the researchers. Through a mix method research design, this paper employed both qualitative and quantitative ways to collect the required data. 180 EFL prep-class students at a state university in Turkey participated in the study. 160 of the informants responded to the questionnaire while 20 informants answered the semi-structured interview questions. Convenience sampling, where the very first accessible data is employed, was utilized in the study. The findings of the study show that the need of democratic participation is felt in EFL classrooms. Related implications to raise the awareness of EFL students and teachers on democracy and democratic citizenship were given at the end of the paper. © 2020 JLLS and the Author - Published by JLLS.

    A Qualitative Study on Listening Skills in Turkish EFL Classes; [İngilizcenin Yabancı Dil Olarak Öğretildiği Türkiye Bağlamında Dinleme Becerileri Üzerine bir Nitel Çalışma]
    (Children Research Center, 2023) Kasimi, Y.; Höl, D.
    This study focuses on pedagogical implications and evaluation of listening skills in an English as a Foreign Language context. In this sense, this study aims to investigate i) whether listening skills are considered as important as the other receptive and productive skills, ii) EFL teachers' perspectives on motivation levels of learners towards listening in the target language, iii) whether teachers feel competent enough to teach listening skills, and iv) whether listening skills are evaluated in EFL classes. The participants of the study consisted of 45 teachers, and the data were gathered through a semi-structured interview form which was prepared by the researchers. The findings reveal that teaching listening skills is mostly ignored in Turkey, teachers believe that learners have low motivation while learning listening skills in English, and most of the teachers who participated in the study feel competent in teaching listening skills; however, in teaching and testing listening, they have some concerns. Lastly, the findings reveal that testing listening skills are mostly ignored in Türkiye. © 2023 The Author(s).

    VII: The ethics of science and the invisible man through social and cultural scripts and transactional analysis
    (Peter Lang AG, 2021) Edman, T. B.; Gözen, H.; Kasimi, Y.
    Just as the first entrance of 'the stranger' into Iping ignited the wick of a series of enigmatic events in The Invisible Man, so indeed does H.G. Wells' extraordinary dream world continue to captivate millions. While the limits of science today can be demarcated only through the human imagination, it was not all that different back in 1897, when this science fiction novel was first published. Wells' novel has in fact revived a subject that had been widely discussed in previous centuries which does perhaps fall under the shadow of alchemy. Much of what we know today that is possible through technology allegedly seemed to be conceivable primarily through alchemy or black magic before the positive leap forward in the sciences. Nevertheless, philosophers such as Sir Thomas More and Sir Francis Bacon may have raised the first serious concerns about science and ethics. The intersection of ethics and science is the core contact point, whereby the purpose and limits of science create a mutual entity. Especially recently, the ethics of science has been a topic of discussion following serious trepidations. The 'abode' of science in human life is undoubtedly undeniable. However, when massacres such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki are commemorated, it becomes necessary to reinvigorate the limits of science. As a matter of fact, "during the past decade, scientists, laypeople, and politicians have become increasingly aware of the importance of ethics in scientific research. Several trends have contributed to these growing concerns" (Resnik, 2005, p. 1). In that sense, this article purports to vigilantly explore the inevitable ramifications of science on man through the science fiction novel The Invisible Man and the ethics of science. This study will also explore how psychology structures moral values or ethics in science, and how psychological derivations constitute humans' actions through the theory of Transactional Analysis by Berne, the theory of Spiral Dynamics by Graves, and the Drama Triangle theory by Karpman, through the lens of the science fiction novel The Invisible Man. © Peter Lang AG 2021.
