For that aim, self-efficacy scale for English developed by Yanar and Bümen (2012) was used in the study. The scale included four sub-scales named reading, writing, listening and speaking. Cronbach's alpha for the reading subscale (α = 0.92), writing subscale (α = 0.88), listening subscale (α = 0.93), speaking subscale (α = 0.92), and overall scale (α = 0.97) showed satisfactory reliability of the scale. According to the results of the explanatory factor analysis, fit index values of the scale were RMSEA= 0.044, SRMR= 0.046, NFI=.98, NNFI=.99, PNFI=.89, CFI=.99, IFI=.99, RFI=.98 .One Science High School, one Anatolian High School and one Anatolian Teacher Training High School in Elazığ city center were chosen for the study and the survey was administered on the12th graders.

Bu iletişim, bazen davranış yoluyla bazen çeşitli işaretlerle bazen de sözel sembollerle sağlanmıştır. İnsanlar arasındaki bu anlaşma çabası, çeşitli aşamalardan geçerek bugünkü noktaya ulaşmış ve bu uzun süreç boyunca günümüzde var olan birçok köklü dil meydana gelmiştir. Bazı diller dar bir coğrafi alanda varlığını sürdürürken, bazı diller çok daha geniş coğrafi alanlarda ve çok sayıda insan tarafından konuşulur hale gelmiştir. Konuşulan dillerin çeşitlenmesi, insanların kendi aralarındaki iletişimlerini sağlamada farklı dilleri öğrenme ihtiyacını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Küreselleşen dünyada iletişimin daha da artması bireylerin kendi ana dilleri dışındaki dilleri de öğrenmeyi adeta zorunlu hale getirmiş, giderek bireyler bir yabancı dil yerine 1 Prof. Dr. Fırat Üniversitesi, Eğitim Bilimleri -Eğitim Programları ve Öğretim, El
The aim of this study is to determine students' views on reading anxiety with regards to variables of gender and grade levels of the students and socio-economic level of the schools. To this end, Melanlioglu's (2014) "Reading Anxiety Scale", a 5 point likert scale consisting of 14 questions, was used. The scale consists of following sub-dimensions: planning of reading process, factors supporting reading, reading comprehension and analysis. The universe for the study consists of middle school students in a city center in Central Anatolia Region in Turkey. The results of the study indicate that students "sometimes" had anxiety in reading comprehension and analysis sub-dimensions while they "rarely" had anxiety in the sub-dimensions of planning reading process and factors supporting reading. There was no significant difference with regards to the gender variable in the sub-dimension of factors supporting reading whereas there was a significant difference in favor of males in the sub-dimensions of planning of reading process and reading comprehension and analysis. With regards to the socio-economic level of the school variable, it was observed that students from lower to middle class schools had higher levels of anxiety in the sub-dimensions of factors supporting reading, reading comprehension and analysis compared to students from upper class schools. The study also indicated that students' reading anxiety increased as they moved from one class to another.
The aim of this study is to reveal the views of teachers on distance education, which is carried out using various platforms due to the pandemic in Turkey. The case study design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. Convenience sampling method was used in the selection of the participants. The participants were selected on the criteria that they conducted live lessons through distance education platforms and worked at a public school during the pandemic. The data of the study were collected through an interview form prepared by the researchers. The data collection instrument consists of two parts. The first part consisted of questions related to demographic information of the participants. The second part of the form included questions to determine teachers' views on distance education. The data of the study were analyzed with a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis program. The participants stated that distance education has the advantages in terms of communication, flexibility in time and place, high number of participats, and economy. On the other hand, they stated that distance education has limitations in terms of technological reasons, limited active learning, socio-economic reasons, receiving instant feedback, supervision and control, and disadvantaged groups' inability to benefit. Although it was concluded that the participants considered themselves sufficient to manage the distance education process effectively, it was determined that the teachers did not receive any in-service training in order to plan, implement and evaluate the distance education processes. In this context, the participants stated that they want to receive in-service training on the use of Web 2.0 tools, live lesson management, distance education planning training, infrastructure training, presentation techniques. The participants offered suggestions to teachers, students, parents, and other stakeholders about the solutions of the problems they experienced.
