CONCLUSION
After a close study on the coursebook ”Project 1” it has been seen
that this coursebook teaches according to the integrated skills aspect. This is
proved by the facts of the study.
In the end of the study , if the final numbers of the study are examined
closely it can be seen that the “ Speaking skill” dominates the Project 1
coursebook with 56 matches, however in the workbook “Writing skill” is
dominant with 58 mathces. This leads to the notion that the Project 1 course
gives a special emphasis on the productive skills which are speaking and writing
whereas receptive skills such as listening and reading are found as follows : 16
matches for listening skill test items and 1 for the reading skill. This also
enlightens the idea of that the input is provided by listening activities. It is
also seen that almost all of the parts such as dialogues, pictures and reading
materials can be listened which proves that the input is given by listening.
Although the listening skill seems to have a small number of seperate activities
it is integrated with the most of the activities ,so this makes it have an
important role for the whole course provided by the Poject 1. Writing skill
testing items are 24 in the coursebook and as stated before 58 in the
workbook.Grammar items are 13 in the coursebook and 2 in the workbook.
Vocabulary items proved to be 6 in the coursebook and 8 in the workbook. These
facts can be seen on the GRAPHIC 1. The speaking skill domination is clearly
seen by %48 . Writing skill follows after with %21,listening skill with %14,
grammar with %11, vocabulary with %5 and reading skill with %1.
The
testing items according to the skills have been given.
GRAPHIC 1.
However,there’s
another fact which is that an important number of the testing items have been
applied by the integrated skills.39 testing items matches of listening and
speaking skill have been found in the whole course.It has been followed by the
writing skill and grammar integrated items with 23 matches.Listening and
writing integrated testing items are the third with 11 matches.And the last one
is writing and vocabulary integrated
items with 10 matches.These facts
are stated in the GRAPHIC 2.
