The questions used in the activities were prepared in accordance with the test created by Matthews et al. (2012). For data analysis, content and descriptive analysis methods were employed. Findings showed that participants interpreted the operational questions as operational and relational questions as relational through using Scratch. Another significant finding emerged in Scratch activities was the fact that in order for the code block to provide an equation, the pan balance was supposed to balance. Employing Scratch in the class teachings may provide variety in learning environments for teaching of equal sign.

The aim of this article is to examine the curriculum alignment of the current program in line with the opinions of Turkish teachers based on the flexibility of the 2019 Turkish Language Curriculum. The study group for the research consists of a total of 153 teachers, including 40 Turkish teachers who participated in the semi-structured interview in Igdir in the 2020-2021 academic year and 113 Turkish teachers who gave their opinions about the achievements in order to measure the accessibility levels of the achievements. When the participant comments are examined, it is seen that their statements emphasize the content of the program in terms of intensity and time. It should be noted that teachers express more curriculum fidelity than curriculum alignment. However, it can be said that the concept of curriculum alignment is considered here as a central program implementation algorithm. It can be said that teachers mostly emphasize inner harmony with the alignment of goals. In addition, stating that the achievements are realized within the framework of texts and activities shows that teachers only adhere to the texts and activities in the text book. It was concluded that the students had difficulties in the application because of problems related to the program, and this might be related to local factors.

There are various textbook sets commonly used in teaching Turkish to foreigners. In the literature, the literary content of these books has been examined by many researchers. However, there have not been enough studies on the visuals, which are as important as the texts in the books. The visuals belonging to the texts in the Gazi University Turkish Textbook for Foreigners Level C1 were examined in this research. In this study, document review method, which is one of the qualitative research designs, was used and 39 visuals used with 20 texts in the book were examined by the researcher and 3 experts in terms of their compatibility with the content of the texts. The visuals in the book were first grouped according to Levin's (1981) typology and it was determined that 97.42% of the visuals are representative and appropriately decorative. Then, the compatibility of the images with the texts was examined according to a five-item category list. It has been determined that helpful visuals are used in the book to predict the subject of the text, which is compatible with the content of the text. However, it has been concluded that the visuals are found insufficient to contribute to the comprehensibility of the text, to emphasize the important points in the text, and to support the main idea/emotion of the text. Suggestions were made regarding the use of organizational, explanatory and transformational visuals that contribute more to the understanding of the text in Turkish as a foreign language books.
