Teaching English Subject Pronouns and To Be Verbs in the Turkish Texts: the Turkish Method

The study aimed to teach english subject pronouns (i, you, he, etc.) and to be verbs (am, is, was, been, etc.) to students using transliteration in the turkish texts easily and implicitly. the turkish words used were chosen from a turkish dictionary and the possible tukish texts were produced specially by the researchers on a systematic study. these texts were used by the english teachers in two elementary schools, and in one elementary school by the english and student teachers together. the study used true experimental design in one application, and simple experimental design in five applications. the study has revealed some promising findings. first, some of the english and turkish sentences, as seen in “işıl maketi iter,” were combined meaningfully for the first time. second, teaching english subject pronouns and to be verbs in an innovative way through the turkish texts produced higher success in five out of six applications. third, the reconciliation of the english and turkish sentences (grammars) could contribute to the foreign language teaching, linguistic studies and the world peace in general.
