dc.description.abstractThere are several different techniques of teaching English for pre-service students in the universities in Turkey. But, in this study, attentions are drowned upon “Scenario Building Technique (SBT)” as an authentic teaching technique of English Language. The aim of this technique is to overcome managing the crowded classes and to encourage the participation into the course and in this way to increase effective teaching. According to the framework of this technique, firstly, students are divided into five or six groups with seven or eight students in each class. Each group is assigned in different caption of social topics of varieties, such as global warming, environmental preservation, leaving home by plane or visiting a dentist in an office or spending leisure time in a coffee house. Then, every student in each group is given a role to implement connected with certain subjects such as task-based activities by dialogues on the scene of actual daily life. In this process, one student is given the duty of writing scenario as a draft, and the other is of the task of using the camera to film the acting and the actors, and the next student is given the responsibility of directing, and the last is of designing the costumes on the basis of their creative abilities. So, each group and group members find themselves in engagement and involvement in an interactive social environment with the sense of reciprocal respect and esteem. By doing that, even introvert students are not only incented to gain self confidence and participate into the course, but they are also facilitated to achieve self-actualization. Moreover, they’re provided an opportunity to transmit their social messages to outer community while learning English language with a joyful mood by means of this technique. More importantly, they feel free of anxiety, of prejudices and of fear of learning that have already been accumulated from their previous backgrounds related to their individual characteristic differences regarding socio-psychology and socioeconomy. That is to say, via “Scenario Building Technique” students learn English Language in a joyful and satisfying atmosphere. In conclusion, it’s been observed that learners’ motivation and enthusiasm for learning have raised and, the ability of making the students participate into classes has considerably been improved. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.en_US
