After getting the permission from the Ministry of Education in Turkey for carrying out recordings at schools, our AMuSE team in Turkey (Jochen Rehbein and Sakine Çabuk) was able to start with field research in a school in the Antalya region. The school was selected as it is located in an area where Kurdish people live. The visit to the school first of all involved a meeting with the school principal and teachers. Then, the team collected data with the help of video and audio recordings in first and fourth grades. The data collection procedure included interviews with the participants and story telling. During the interviews, the students were asked for biographical and background information as well as in which languages they communicate with their parents, grandparents, and peers out of school. A further intention of the interview was to find out whether they use their native tongue, i.e. Kurdish at home and in their community. In the story telling session, the participants attending first grade were asked to watch a video and tell the story in the video both in Kurdish and Turkish. Participants in fourth grade retold a Kurdish story both in Turkish and Kurdish. This format of data collection was complemented by interviews with the teachers who were asked about their opinion on the current monolingual education system. After the school visit, transcription of the data and first analyses were carried out. Our initial findings show that the students rely on their mother tongue in the process of learning and in the school environment. In addition, they code-switch between Kurdish and Turkish and mix the two languages in the classroom and during breaks. These first impressions on bi and multilingual reality of everyday life at schools in Turkey will be expanded as the research team in Turkey is currently arranging for further visits to other regions of the country where diverse languages are spoken.
