Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the speaking skill levels of Turkish children living in Switzerland and attending Turkish schools and to examine whether their speaking skills differ statistically according to various variables. The sample group of the study consisted of 30 children living in various cantons of Switzerland in the 2018-2019 academic year. “Student Interview Form”, “Personal Information Form” and “Speaking Skills Evaluation Form” were used as data collection tools. Speaking skill levels of the children participating in the research; frequency, percentage and mean values were examined. T-Test and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in relations with normal distribution depending on the number of categories of the independent variable; relationships that did not show normal distribution were examined with the Mann-Whitney U Test and the Kruskal Wallis H Test. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the average score of the children's speaking skills was at an average level. When the relationship between various variables and children's speaking skills was examined, it was seen that gender caused a statistically significant difference in children's speaking skill scores. It was determined that the speaking skills of boys were significantly higher than those of girls. In addition, it was revealed that age, whether Turkish is spoken at home or not and the length of stay when traveling to Turkey did not cause a statistically significant difference on children's speaking skill scores. The results of the research were discussed and suggestions were given. Keywords: Speaking skills, Turkish education, Turkish children living in Switzerland.
