- Abstract
Individuals who can use more than one language daily are called bilingual. Today's educational approach is centered on the individual and considers the individual's personal development and individual differences more. Education aims at individuals who understand what they read and use what they learn in their informal lives. What is essential in teaching a language is to enrich linguistic and thinking skills and to enrich culturally by understanding the target language. Parallel to our country's multicultural structure, especially in Mardin province, students can use Arabic, Syriac, Kurdish, and Turkish together. This situation causes the student population to be called bilingual. In this study, which was conducted to reveal the dominant language preferences of bilingual children in secondary school Turkish lessons and to determine the language they use in their interpretation processes, the Personal Information Form and Bican's (2018) Dominant Language Scale, which adopted the "A Quick Gradient Bilingual Dominance Scale" initially developed by Dunn and Fox Tree (2009), were used as data collection tools. The data collection tools of the study were administered to 170 students in the 7th grade. In data analysis, R vers. 2.15.3 program (R Core Team, 2013) was used for data analysis. Minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, median, first quartile, third quartile, frequency, and percentage were used in reporting the study data. The conformity of the quantitative data to the normal distribution was evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk test and graphical examinations. According to the results, 33.7% (n=57) of the participants speak Arabic, and 35.5% (n=60) speak Kurdish at home. 20.7% (n=35) of the participants said they use languages other than Turkish at school. Family elders of 80.5% (n=136) of the participants use languages other than Turkish. The most frequently used languages are Arabic and Kurdish.
