Abstract

In this study, problems faced by pre-service Turkish language teachers during summarizing the texts listened were studied. The study was performed with 202 pre-service teachers studying at the fourth grade of Turkish Language Education department at Gazi University and Mustafa Kemal University in 2013-2014 academic year. In the study, informative, narrative and argumentative text summarizations were evaluated in view of summarizing strategies as writing title, using perspective in a correct way, using mode of expression properly, deciding on important information, erasing unimportant information, not including a non-textual information, coherent writing and abridgment. In the result of evaluation, the problems experienced in summarizing were determined. With this goal, criterion summary was created for each of the informative, narrative and argumentative texts, and analysis were carried out via “Inventory of Summarizing Problem” developed by the researcher.The uses matching up with the criterion summary were admitted successful and the different uses were seen as a problem. In the study the problems confronted by students about summarization were determined like these: Not writing a title, using a title different from the original, writing the summary from several perspectives, summarizing through the first-person singular perspective, using more than one mode of expression, writing with a completely wrong mode of expression, summarizing with very little important information, summarizing with a lot of unimportant information, included several non-textual information, including conflicting information, not doing sentence and paragraph transitions, not maintaining textual integrity, writing too long or too short.
