Today, the ability to communicate in English is a need brought about by the globalization process encompassing developments in many fields such as science and technology. To address this need, English language teaching programs in Turkey (henceforth ELTP) underwent substantial changes within the larger curriculum reform movements taking place in 1997, 2006 and 2013, the last of which is also called the 4+4+4 education system. In these ELTPs, major differences were based on primary school English language teaching and learning. However, there is a growing claim that these ELTPs did not achieve the intensions in equipping primary school students with the necessary communicative skills in English. Thus, this integrative literature review study aims to explore the results of the evaluation studies so as to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each ELTP regarding such program components as aims and outcomes, content, materials, and testing and assessment. In line with this, studies conducted to evaluate the 1997, 2006 and 2013 ELTPs were examined thoroughly, and their findings were identified for the analysis. The analysis of the studies showed that problems with the ELTPs under evaluation included not carefully written aims and outcomes failing to include all domains. It also reveals problems with the selection and design of the content and materials which failed to be adequate and effective. Lastly, reliance on paper-based assessment even failing to include productive skills is seen to be another problem. All these issues seem to be persistent over all the ELTPs, thus they call for careful consideration and action for the improvement of further program changes.

土耳其小学英语教学计划的优缺点:关于计划组成部分的问题

如今,全球化进程带来了英语交流的能力,全球化进程涵盖了科学和技术等许多领域的发展。为了满足这一需求,土耳其的英语教学计划(以下简称ELTP)在1997年,2006年和2013年进行的较大的课程改革运动中进行了重大更改,最后一次课程改革也称为4 + 4 + 4教育体系。在这些ELTP中,主要差异是基于小学英语教学。但是,越来越多的人声称这些ELTP并没有达到为小学生配备必要的英语交流技能的意图。从而,这项综合性文献综述研究旨在探索评估研究的结果,以便了解每个ELTP在计划组成部分(如目标和结果,内容,材料以及测试和评估)方面的优缺点。与此相应,对用于评估1997、2006和2013年ELTP的研究进行了彻底检查,并确定了其发现以进行分析。对研究的分析表明,所评估的ELTP所存在的问题包括未精心编写的目标,并且结果未能涵盖所有领域。它还揭示了内容和材料的选择和设计方面的问题,这些问题不够充分和有效。最后,依赖纸质评估甚至没有包括生产技能被认为是另一个问题。
