摘要：In this study, foreign language achievement has been researched in terms of these variables: fields at university (TSS, MS and TM), gender and university entrance exam scores. The participants were 1289 preparatory class students attending English courses at Ankara University in 2012. One factor ANCOVA was applied and proficiency test scores which had been taken at the beginning of the term were used as covariate variable. At the end of the study, it was found that when the proficiency test scores were controlled, the fields (TSS, MS and TM) made a difference in English language achievement. In addition, when the foreign language achievement was examined according to gender by controlling for the English proficiency test scores, a significant difference between females and males was observed and it was seen that females were more successful than males. It appeared that there was a significant medium relationship between university entrance exam scores and foreign language achievement when the proficiency test scores were controlled.
