This research was designed with a case study, one of the qualitative analysis technique. The study group consists of 12 Turkish teachers working in three different secondary schools. Appropriate sampling, one of the non-probability sampling methods, was used in the determination of the study group. The data of the study was obtained through a semi-structured interview form. 11 open-ended questions were prepared within the scope of the research questions. Content analysis, one of the qualitative analysis techniques, was used to analyze the data obtained in the study. Categories and codes were created according to the opinions of the teachers, and the data obtained were analyzed with the 'MAXQDA 12' program. As a result of the research, it was observed that teachers agree with the view that planning has an important role in the systematic functioning of the process and making teaching more effective and efficient by ensuring the integrity of the lesson.

This study aiming to determine the frequency of use of words in the narrative texts in which the best examples of standard language use are displayed ranks 268 stories compiled from the prominent names of Turkish story-writing. Frequency analyses were made on a corpus of approximately 450 thousand words and the frequency of use of words were tried to be listed according to their lexical categories. The words ranking at a certain percentage (about 2%-4%) were scored. It was observed that general words and grammatically functional words had higher frequencies, and the words were used with their antonyms. In terms of Turkish, categorization of words according to their positions in the sentence and their affixations, possible categorization of words in more than one lexical category, and variable meanings which homonyms gain in context were found as the most significant problems in frequency analysis and corpus formation.

The article discusses the attributive functions of noun phrases and subordinating clauses, and investigates the structural characteristics of attribution in Turkish, based on the context of dependency model or dependency tree developed by Tesnière's Dependency Grammar Theory. The author notes that if the function of restriction is needed to transfer certain content, it cannot be abandoned. It also discusses the attribution of verb phrase, realized by qualification of adverbs of manner.

The article focuses on Lagocephalus guentheri from the family Tetraodontidae being found in the north-eastern Aegean sea.
