This learning method
is to find out whether there is a relationship between the foreign languages of young people and adults and variables such as
their age, previous experiences, and learning purpose. The data obtained as a
result of semi-participation interviews with 10 randomly selected students who
had English preparatory education at a private university, at least 2 of whom
were at their level, and 10 adults selected by the snowball method, who
participated in the foreign language certificate offered at the same
university, were analyzed with the Maxqda program. The findings obtained as a
result of the qualitative study were analyzed and the relationships between
age, previous experience of learning a foreign language, language learning
characteristics and current success levels were analyzed. In conclusion; It was
stated that the language learners in the preparatory class, regardless of their
gender and age, could take courses in English and that learning at least one
language would be rich in terms of job and career in the future, and their
success rates were observed in parallel with this. Certified adults are
generally adults who have received any language training before and are in
their 30s. It was stated that these research methods for women are generally
aimed at helping the family, but on the other hand, adults generally
participate in these programs with external motivations, at the request of the
institution, that is, regardless of gender.
