Özet:

 While English has been used as a Lingua Franca LF for many years all around the world, Türkiye on the other hand, which has been experiencing mass migration to its lands and started the internationalization process, teaching Turkish to foreigners as a second or foreign language has attracted attention. As a result of the attention given to Turkish language, the institutions in Türkiye initiated several projects to design language materials according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR criteria while materials were adapted for English language years ago. Since one of the materials used during teaching is textbooks, the aim of this study is to examine and compare the organization of the books and spoken interaction activities of one A1-level English coursebook published for those who learn English as a foreign language and one A1-level Turkish coursebook published for those who learn Turkish as a foreign language using CEFR criteria. For this reason, two books written in both languages were selected by getting expert opinion and their units were analyzed with the document analysis method. When the results are examined, it is found out that there are several differences between the organization of the units and layout of the books. Moreover, there are more spoken interaction activities in English coursebook than the Turkish coursebook.

 İngilizce uzun yıllardır tüm dünyada Lingua Franca LF olarak kullanılırken, kitlesel göçlere maruz kalan ve üniversiteleri aracılığıyla uluslararasılaşma sürecine giren Türkiyede, yabancılara Türkçenin ikinci veya yabancı dil olarak öğretilmesi son yıllarda gündeme gelmeye başlamıştır. Türk diline gösterilen ilginin bir sonucu olarak, Türkiyedeki kurumlar, dil öğretimi materyallerini Avrupa Ortak Dil Referans Çerçevesi CEFR kriterlerine göre tasarlamak için birçok proje başlatmışken, İngiltere, kendi dili ile ilgili öğretim materyallerini yıllar önce CEFR kriterlerine uyarlamıştır. Uyarlanan materyallerin en başında ise ders kitapları gelmektedir. Bu yüzden, çalışmanın amacı, İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenenler için yayınlanan A1 düzeyinde İngilizce bir ders kitabı ile yabancılar için Türkçe öğretimi için hazırlanan A1 düzeyi Türkçe bir ders kitabının kitap düzenini ve kitap içeriklerinde bulunan sözlü etkileşim etkinliklerini CEFR ölçütleri acısından incelemek ve karşılaştırmaktır. Bu doğrultuda uzman görüşü alınarak her iki dilde yazılmış iki kitap seçilmiş ve dokuman analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde, ünitelerin organizasyonu ve yerleşiminde çeşitli farklılıkların olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca İngilizce ders kitabında Türkçe ders kitabından daha fazla ve çeşitli sözlü etkileşim etkinliği bulunduğu anlaşılmıştır.
