The aim of this study is to develop a scale to measure Turkish reading, listening, speaking and writing self-efficacy of foreign students in Turkey. The sample group of this study consists of 412 foreign students studying in TOMER. At the first phase, four sets of items consisting of 200 items were prepared as a data collecting tool. Eliminating 90 of the items upon expert evaluations, a draft scale consisting of 110 items was applied to mentioned foreign students. The data obtained from the study were analysed by item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods. At the end of the study, the self-efficacy scale of Turkish reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, which consists of 94 items and targets foreigners who learn Turkish as a foreign language, was found to be a reliable and valid scale. Keywords: Self-efficacy scale, learning Turkish as a foreign language.

While there are many consistent results regarding the altruism – empathy relationship, starting with the empathy-altruism hypothesis (Batson, 2008) and its confirmations or criticism, there is one specific aspect of empathy that has not often been associated with generosity: active listening. Our research hypothesizes that sharing one’s attention in an empathic way (active-empathic listening) might be a skill linked to a person’s generosity. A linear regression established that self-reported altruism (SRA) could statistically significantly predict someone’s active-empathic listening skill (AELS), F(1, 96) = 28,965, p = .0001 and that SRA accounted for 22,4% of the explained variability in AELS. The results confirmed the initial claim and may have an impact in counseling practice, in career decision-making or in other studies on prosocial behavior.


The article focuses on the importance of improving the effectiveness of foreign students’ listening skills formation at the initial stages of learning Russian as a foreign language. The author outlines the stages of work and its tasks, the groups of exercises and test tools, which are topical for listening skills training of the specified contingent of students with the help of information and communication technologies. The ways to overcome the difficulties of using multimedia educational programs as a training complex for teaching listening skills in accordance with specific requirements of this type of teaching aids and the general requirements of teaching materials for listening have been considered. The author states that non-native language proficiency is the most important means of obtaining the professional education for foreign students. The significance of the use of information and communication technologies as the newest means of increasing the efficiency of the educational process as well as its individual subsystems including language training have been determined in the article. Different aspects of teaching listening as a type of speech activity in scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists have been analyzed. The performance of listening skills improvement is possible through the systematic analysis of problems caused by non-compliance with linguodidactic requirements for the compilation of training materials for teaching listening skills to foreign students at initial stage of learning a non-native language. The article deals with specific requirements for educational materials compiled with the help of information and communication technologies, among which are multimedia, interactivity, nonlinearity and others are the most important ones. The article discusses the ways of combining two separate groups of requirements for the combination of this type of teaching aids.

Listening ability determines the success of counseling sessions. Counselors must be able to listen to the various problems presented by their participants wholeheartedly. This research aims to illustrate the ability of emphatic listening among counseling students in Indonesia. This descriptive quantitative study involved 318 participants (88.7% women) aged 18-23 years (M= 19.24, SD=1.108) voluntarily selected through convenience sampling. The emphatic listening skills were measured using The Active-Emphatic Listening Scale by Bodie (2011) using Google Form. Based on statistical analysis, it was found that empathic listening to counseling students was classified as high. The study also argues that there are differences in empathy learning skills based on the environment in which they live. At the same time, differences in sex, age, and study year did not determine differences in listening empathetically. This study confirmed that the environment in which a person grows up has implications for empathy.

The process of speech skill building while listening training at RFL lessons in a technical university is analyzed in the article. The relevance of the research is conditioned by an importance of listening as a possible listening simulation. This type of simulation, with recording different voices, code-switching, combining listening and speaking in the process of discussing audio material, helps to make it easier the process of foreign students adaptation in a new linguistic environment and provides them a chance to get higher education. The article considers forms of differentiated control how audio material is understood by the students. These forms are given in stages - from articulatory audible speech recognition (internal imitation), repeating grammatical structures, mastering new vocabulary to the level of interpretation. The issue of the control of listening training is highlighted both while current monitoring when the attention of a student is concentrated on the new vocabulary and terms especially and during the final control when it's necessary to produce speech activity in the process of speaking and then discussing audio material. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of the complex mastery of listening skill is provided and a degree of adequacy of speech reactions to a speech stimulus, compliance with the speech situation are indicators of the formed listening skills.

The article "Peculiarities of teaching listening to foreign students non- philologists" studies the problems of listening and its types. When teaching Russian language to foreign non-philology students at the pre- university stage, learning educational listening is significant. Educational listening is a learning tool, the basis for mastering oral speech, the formation and development of communicative listening skills. Considering the different functions of listening in the learning process, goals, nature of information understanding and a foreign student’s state of attention at the time of the hearing, there are various types of educational listening. We consider the levels of listening, audit competence and its components, as well as a special type of monological listening - listening to lectures on specialty.Listening is a complex process causing great difficulties and special attention has been paid to their reasons. Taking into consideration, when teaching foreign non-philology students, given their professional orientation different types of listening should be improved.
