The aim of this study is to provide a critical evaluation to titles and abstracts of the master theses in the field of Turkish Language Education. In the study, “general screening model” which is one of the descriptive screening methods is used. The sample of study consists of 128 master theses in the field of Turkish Language Educationand the universe of the study consists of the master theses in Turkish Language Teaching. The research data were collected according to the generally criteria accepted by the scientific world. Analysis of the data obtained from research was used frequency and percentage. At the end of the study it was seen that titles of the master theses are sufficient in terms of genarally accepted criteria; abstracts of the master theses are inadequate except for the purposes.
Each year a lot of master theses are written but the literature on language learning and teaching in Turkey does not include any studies that make an extensive analysis of these theses. To fill this ...gap, this study aims at analyzing the theses that have been written from 2005 to 2010 in MA ELT programs. To do this, selected master theses from five universities in Turkey were analyzed on the basis of a number of criteria related to topic and content. At the end of the study some conclusions are drawn about the common trends in ELT studies and this study suggests ways to conduct research in the mentioned field.
This study is a quantitative and functional corpus-based study of self-mention in soft science Master theses. One important purpose of this study was to find out the functions of self-mention in soft ...science Master theses. For this purpose, 20 soft science Master theses in four disciplines (Applied linguistics, Psychology, Geography, and Political sciences), were randomly selected out of the library of four American universities. Five Master theses were selected in each discipline, in a period of seven years (2007-2014). The present study analyzed only the discussion section of these Master theses. The quantitative analysis of the corpus showed that the frequency of the various forms of self-mention in soft science Master theses is quite different. Among the analyzed resources, “I” with the frequency of 49 was the most frequently used first person pronouns. Based on Tang and John’s (1999) taxonomy of the discourse roles of personal pronouns, self- mentions were functionally analyzed. The findings of the functional dimension of the present study showed that the most frequent discoursal role of self-mentions in the corpus was the recounter of research process, whereas the least frequent role was originator.

In this article, the press coverage of the Spanish Civil War by four German exile papers will be studied, raising the questions why the German left in exile was so much concerned with the conflict ...and how they connected the events in Spain with their own situation. Using Hayden White’s concept of narrative tropes, this article demonstrates how the representations of Spain shifted from a romantic narrative to a tragic narrative, thus rendering Spain, as an imagined space, from a symbol of hope to a symbol of warning and despair. The focus will be put on the exile press coverage of three events: the outbreak of the war, the bombing of Guernica and the failure of the non-intervention committee. Arguing that Spain, as a battleground of international ideologies, was always connected by the Germans in exile to their own circumstances, the article shows that the exile writers were not concerned with the events in Spain as such, nor with the international dimensions of the war. Instead, they defined the Spanish Civil War as an international arena to pursue their own goals: to beat National Socialism and return to Germany.
