Turuletoomiseks

Turuletoomiseks, also known as "turule toomine" or "turule viimine," is a process used in the field of linguistics and language acquisition, particularly in the context of second language learning. It refers to the act of bringing a word or concept from the learner's native language (L1) into the target language (L2) for translation or comparison. This process is often used to facilitate understanding and learning by leveraging the learner's existing linguistic knowledge.

The term "turuletoomiseks" is derived from the Estonian language, where "turule" means "to the surface" or "to the forefront." In the context of language learning, it signifies the act of bringing a concept or word from the learner's subconscious or implicit knowledge to the conscious level, where it can be explicitly analyzed and understood.

Turuletoomiseks can be applied in various ways, such as:

1. Translating a word or phrase from L1 to L2 to understand its meaning or usage.

2. Comparing similar words or concepts in both languages to identify patterns or differences.

3. Using L1 as a starting point to introduce new vocabulary or concepts in L2.

This process can be particularly useful for learners who struggle with abstract concepts or complex vocabulary. By bringing these elements to the surface, learners can gain a deeper understanding of the target language and improve their overall language proficiency. However, it is essential to use turuletoomiseks judiciously, as over-reliance on L1 can sometimes hinder the development of a strong command of L2.
