Türkiye’de uzun yıllardır İngilizce yabancı dil olarak
öğrenilmekte ve öğretilmektedir.  İngilizce’nin
öğrencilerin yaşamı üzerine rolü pek çok çalışmaya konu olmasına rağmen, şu ana
kadar meslek yüksekokullarında okuyan öğrencilerin görüşleri araştırılmamıştır.
Bu yüzden bu çalışmanın amacı meslek yüksekokulunda okuyan öğrencilerin
İngilizce’nin mesleki ve sosyal yaşamlarını nasıl etkilediğine dair görüşlerini
ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın amacı göz önünde bulundurularak nitel bir çalışma
metodu uygulandı. Turizm ve Otel İşletmeciliği ve Muhasebe ve Vergi
Uygulamalarında okuyan 10 gönüllü öğrenci yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeye
katıldı. Görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler tematik analiz kullanılarak analiz
edildi. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin İngilizce öğrenmeye karşı algıları ve İngilizce
öğrenme sebepleri olmak üzere iki tema ortaya çıkardı. İlk tema, olumlu ve
olumsuz davranışlardan oluşmaktadır ve diğer temanın ise “meslek, iletişim ve
eğlence” olmak üzere üç kodu vardır.

English as a foreign language
has been learnt and taught in Turkey for many years. Although the role of
English in students’ lives is the subject of a number of studies, there is
little research on the perceptions of students studying at vocational schools.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions of students
studying at a vocational school about how English affects their professional
and their social life. Considering the purpose of the study qualitative
research method was applied. Ten volunteer students studying Tourism and Hotel
Management and Accounting and Tax Application participated in the
semi-structured interview. Data gathered from interviews were analyzed using
thematic analysis. The results revealed two themes which were the perceptions
of students towards learning English and their reasons to learn English. The
first theme consists of positive attitudes and negative attitudes and the other
theme has three codes which are as follows: profession, communication and
entertainment.
