In the study, some information, relatedconcepts, types of anaphora, and some important problems about anaphora werepresented.Furthermore, the selected stories of Omer Seyfettin and O'Henry were analyzed andevaluated in terms of anaphoric relations and comparison of English and Turkish shortstories in terms of anaphora was made by giving overall results.In addition, Turkish language was compared with English language to find anddemonstrate some particular linguistic and referential relations in both of these languages.In the course of exploring the issues related to 'anaphora' and 'reference', some new orneglected constructions were considered: most crucially to the argumentation, referential,particularly anaphoric relations between linguistic entities within Turkish short storiesare observed and assessed in terms of Turkish language '...
Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) have been employed in various English language teaching ... more Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) have been employed in various English language teaching (ELT)
positions and departments at private and state universities in Turkey, particularly over the last three decades.
However, undergraduate EFL students’ attitudes toward NESTs and Non-Native English Speaking Teachers
(Non-NESTs) remain seriously under-investigated. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of
communication classes given by NESTs and Non-NESTs on students’ foreign language speaking anxiety (FLSA).
Forty-eight undergraduate EFL students attending communication classes taught by (American) NESTs and
(Turkish) Non-NESTs were given a questionnaire to examine their attitudes toward foreign language speaking
anxiety (FLSA). Further, a sub-sample of students was interviewed to investigate their feelings, beliefs and
opinions about the relationship between the FLSA they experienced and their communication classes given by
NESTs and Non-NESTs. Similarly, the teachers were interviewed to examine their feelings about the FLSA their
students experience in their communication classes. Quantitatively, the results showed no significant difference
in attitude toward FLSA between the students who attended classes taught by NESTs and Non-NESTs, although
a significant difference was observed between the two classes taught by Non-NESTs. Further, female and male
students did not differ significantly in terms of attitudes toward FLSA in NESTs’ and Non-NESTs’ classes. The
qualitative findings revealed that both teachers and students had positive attitudes toward mistakes made during
the oral production of the foreign language (FL). Finally, the correction strategies employed by the teachers in
the classroom are believed to have an impact on student attitudes toward FLSA.
