Özet:

 The globalizing world and economy make it necessary for countries to communicate with each other. Finding a good job today requires good communication skills not only in the relevant foreign language, but also in the relevant profession. In order to increase the productivity of companies and businesses, their employees are required to know at least one foreign language. Under this concept, it means that employees who have mastered the professional language and developed four basic language skills speaking, understanding spoken, reading-understanding and writing are sought beyond knowing a foreign language. Therefore, determining the use and needs of foreign languages is important in terms of business efficiency and development. In the study, the studies about the acquisition of foreign and professional language were searched and a questionnaire were examined. For this reason, studies on survey development techniques, foreign - and professional language acquisition were investigated. Four basic language skills and Roelckes professional language classification in horizontalvertical dimensions were benefited in item writing. A target-oriented, unique questionnaire was developed to determine the use and need of foreign languages by taking expert opinions. It is expected that the created scale will serve to determine the foreign language usage and needs in the field of businesses and companies.If the survey is applied to a specific organized industry, maps of foreign language usage and needs can be drawn. In addition the obtained results will contribute to the literature by enabling to prepare and develop the foreign language curriculum.

 Küreselleşen dünya ve ekonomi, ülkelerin birbiriyle iletişim kurmalarını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu sebeple günümüzde iyi bir iş bulmak için sadece ilgili yabancı dilde değil aynı zamanda ilgili meslek dalında da iyi iletişim yetisi gerektirmektedir. İşletmeler verimliliklerini artırmak için, çalışanlarının en az bir yabancı dil bilmeleri istenmektedir. Yabancı dil bilme kavramı altında meslek diline hakim ve dört temel dil becerisini konuşma, konuşulanı anlama, okuma-anlama ve yazma geliştirmiş ve aktif kullanan elemanlar arandığı anlamına gelmektedir. Dolayısıyla yabancı dil kullanımının ve ihtiyaçlarının tespit edilmesi, işletme verimliliği ve gelişimi açısından önemlidir. Çalışmada işletmelerde ihtiyaç duyulan ve kullanılan yabancı dil tespit etmek için bir anket geliştirilmiştir. Bu nedenle anket geliştirme teknikleri, yabancı -ve mesleki dil edinimiyle ilgili çalışmalar araştırılmıştır. Madde yazımında, dört temel dil öğretim becerilerinden ve Roelckenin yatay-dikey boyutta yaptığı mesleki dil sınıflandırmasından faydalanılmıştır. Uzman görüşleri de alınarak yabancı dil kullanımının ve ihtiyacının tespit edilmesi için hedefe yönelik özgün bir anket geliştirilmiştir. Oluşturulan anket işletmelerinyabancı dil kullanımlarını ve ihtiyaçlarını tespit etmektedir. Anketin belirli bir organize sanayiye uygulanması durumunda yabancı dil kullanım ve ihtiyaç haritaları çıkarılabilmektedir. Ayrıca elde edilen sonuçlar, yabancı dil ders programlarının hazırlanmasına ve geliştirilmesine imkân vererek literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır.
