Ali Şükrü Özbay, Zehra Gürsoy, Senem Doğan, Merve Aslankılıç The main audience for this book is expected to be language teaching professionals and EFL learners at different levels, although educators at all levels may find it useful. Over the last three decades, phraseology and the supremacy of multi-word combinations in various forms and labels have enjoyed a crucial role in understanding how the English language functions in terms of lexicality. The necessity of studying multi-word combinations has been advocated, and the inclusion of computational methods has been favoured by many leading linguistic specialists. Thus, this book is intended to introduce the lexical features of the English language to language teaching professionals and EFL learners worldwide through contextual examples. After a short introduction, the scope of the book is further extended to include English verbs with their most frequent complements. Each chapter offers literature connections related to phraseology, formulaic sequence, and lexical approach. Finally, a comprehensive list of multi-word combinations was added in the form of tables to support language teaching professionals and EFL learners inside and outside the classroom in their attempts to increase phraseological awareness.

Muhammed Fatih Gökmen Foreign (English) language teacher education has heretofore produced a plethora of theories, methods, procedures, and techniques, most of which are virtually based on a specific philosophical paradigm. In this vein, this book outlines and expatiates the cutting-edge pedagogy named as post-method pedagogy on the grounds of post-modern educational philosophy, the critiques imposed on the ‘method’ concept and the conventional teaching methods, complexity of the ELT profession, and the subjective role of ELT professionals - specifically language teachers. By virtue of the author’s three discretional rationales, the post-modern educational philosophy, theoretical postulations in post-method pedagogy, and the conducted pertinent research, the author orchestrated his own personal and professional ELT small-scale theory under the framework of four continuous teacher development, three post-method parameters, and the personal and professional qualities that ELT professionals might adopt.

Şenay Tanrıvermiş The private lives structured by television came to light in different ways in eastern and western societies. This study provides concrete examples to the change of private life by making collective and individual culture comparisons through marriage programs. The Comparison of Marriage Shows in Two Cultures seeks to examine the complicated and often polemical terrain of marriage programs while considering their effects on the perceptions of privacy in two different societies: The United States of America and Turkey, in regards to two reality TV marriage shows: The Bachelor and Esra Erol`da Evlen Benimle.
Nowadays privacy is a commodity, property, and according to modern law one can do whatever one wants with it: some choose to sell it, or perhaps otherwise, to acquire an identity is impossible; it is that simple but its structure, content, borders and expression differ according to the impositions of western and eastern cultures.
