Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">Informed by the principles of communicative foreign language teaching, this study focuses on the interaction level of speaking activities in the coursebook series of ??stanbul- Yabanc?lar ??in T?rk?e Ders Kitab??. To this end, the study analyzed firstly the rate of two-way speech to one-way speech among speaking activities and then the characteristics of two-way activities were explored with a focus on their compatibility with the nature of real interaction as described in the relevant literature. The analysis revealed that the activities named as two-way as a preliminary characteristic of being interactive are rather few in number and fifty six percent of the two-way activities display the other features of real interaction. Overall, the interaction level of the speaking activities could still be considered low within the total number of speaking activities.?</p>
