Abstract
Öğrenci ve öğretmenlerin çoğuna göre, bir yancı dil öğrenmenin en iyi yolu o dilin konuşulduğu ülkede belli bir süre yaşamaktır. Bir yabancı dili çok iyi öğrenmenin olmazsa olmaz koşulu yurtdışı eğitim olarak kabul edilir. Birçok araştırma sonuçları yurtdışı deneyimin yabancı dil düzeyi üzerindeki olumlu etkisini göstermiştir. Ancak, bu araştırmalar genellikle başarıyı dil testlerinden elde edilen notlarla ölçmüştür. Bu çalışmanın amacı Fransızca öğrenen Türk öğrencilerin yurtdışı deneyimleri ile ilgili görüşlerini ve genel olarak bir yabancı dilin nasıl öğrenildiği konusundaki algılarını ortaya çıkarmaktır.Veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar, Anadolu Üniversitesi, Eğitim Fakültesi, Fransız Dili Eğitimi Anabilim Dalında öğrenim gören ve Erasmus değişim programı ile 2012-2013 öğretim yılında bir ya da iki dönem Fransada öğrenim görmüş olan 6 fransızca öğretmen adayıdır. Sonuçlara göre öğrencilerin yurt dışı deneyimden sonra özellikle sözlü dil becerileri ilerlemiş (akıcılık düzeyleri artmış) ve özgüven düzeyleri artmıştır.

Abstract
According to the majority of learners and educators, the best way to learn a second language is to live in a country where this language is spoken. To become proficient, study abroad is admitted as ‘sine qua non’. Several studies demonstrated the positive effect of study abroad. But, they usually measured language gains by test scores. Fewer studies consider the value of learner’s views of their personal and linguistic development. The aim of this study is to enlighten the perceptions of Turkish learners of French about study abroad and how a L2 is learned. The data was obtained by a semi-structured interview. The participants are six candidate French teacher studying at French Language Teaching Department of Anadolu University. They studied in France during 2012-2013 academic year, with Erasmus exchange program. According the results, the oral skills of participants have improved and their self-confidence have developed after the experience.
