Abstract (2. Language): 
One of the important elements of writing is considering target audience, which requires writers to have audience awareness. Audience awareness is particularly crucial in persuasive writing because persuasive narratives require considering opposing ideas target audience have and refuting them without dialogic feedback. Considering the importance of audience awareness in persuasive narratives, this study investigated audience awareness of 7th grade students in two classrooms. A total of 30 students participated in the study, and each student completed two narratives during the two-week period of the study. Students were assigned different audiences for each narrative topic. Results were compared for mean differences, and Mann- Whitney U test was completed to examine the statistical significance of mean differences. Results indicated a statistically significant difference in audience awareness. Further analysis also indicated the importance of a meaningful match between the narrative topics and the assigned audience conditions. The study concludes with implications for teachers and suggestions for future studies.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Hedef okuyucuyu göz önünde bulundurmak, önemli yazma becerilerden biridir, ki bu beceri yazarlarda okuyucu bilincinin olmasını gerektirir. Okuyucu bilinci özellikle ikna edici yazılarda önemlidir çünkü ikna türü yazılar hedef okuyucunun zıt fikirlerinin diyolojik geribildirimi olmadan göz önünde bulundurulmasını gerektirir. Okuyucu bilincinin ikna türü yazılardaki önemini göz önüne alarak, bu çalışma iki sınıftaki 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin okuyucu farkındalıklarını araştırdı. Toplam 30 öğrenci çalışmaya katıldı ve her öğrenci çalışmanın iki haftalık döneminde ikna türünde iki kısa makale yazdı. Öğrencilere her konu için farklı hedef okuyucular atandı. Sonuçlar ortalama puanlardaki farklar için karşılaştırıldı ve ortalama farkların istatistiksel önemini test etmek için Mann-Whitney U testi uygulandı. Sonuçlar okuyucu farkındalığı alanında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark göstermiştir. Ayrıntılı analiz ayrıca makale konuları ve atanan okuyucu koşulları arasında anlamlı bir uyumun önemini gösterdi. Bu çalışma öğretmenler için uygulamalar ve gelecek çalışmalar için öneriler ile son buldu.
