Journal Title: International Journal of Langauges' Education and Teaching - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
As the teaching of Turkish as a foreign language becomes widespread, teaching materials and teaching environments are diversifying and developing. While these developments continue in teaching Turkish as a foreign language, various problems are encountered in adapting and using contemporary teaching methods. From a student perspective, learning a foreign language is not an easy process. Foreign language learners are most likely to face with a new form of sound, different structure, syntax, and a different meaning from their mother tongue. The aim of this study is to determine the problems of the foreign students with learning Turkish language and evaluate the views and suggestions of the teachers of Turkish Language serving in course centres in some cities in Turkey upon over helping students get over the problems encountered by the foreign students in Turkish Language Teaching in classroom environment. We asked two open ended questions to the participant teachers to obtain the data: “What are the problems of foreign students in learning Turkish Language?”, and “What do you recommend language students to come over their problems in learning Turkish Language?” We used a qualitative research method to evaluate and compare the suggestions of the teachers of Turkish Language in terms of the feasibilities and implementation process in classroom environment. The research was carried out with the participation of six teachers of Turkish Language working in various course centres in some cities in Turkey. According to the suggestions of language teachers, it is argued that educational technologies and materials should be used, motivation strategies should be applied, some cultural events should be organised in school environments, and teachers should plan course materials together with students.
