Abstract

AbstractThe teaching of Turkish as a foreign language has gained momentum in recent years and therefore research and development studies on this subject have also increased. The TÖMERs and Turkish universities are taught Turkish to foreign students. Although the reasons for the students to learn Turkish vary, most of them learn Turkish with the aim of academic education in Turkey. The Turkish courses are mainly offered with the aim of meeting the daily needs of the students. Therefore, it is inevitable to question the adequacy of the given Turkish language courses in academical terms. The fact that studies of teaching Turkish with foreigners did not focus as much as Turkish as an academic language and language problems in the academic education of Turkish learners became the rational for this study. This study evaluates the basic Turkish language that individuals learn in terms of their academic education, the language problems experienced in the academic education process, the opinions of individuals about academic Turkish learning and the opinions of instructors teaching Turkish as a foreign language. Within the scope of this research, to determine the academic Turkish language needs, a questionnaire was applied to the students who have started to study at their departments at Gaziosmanpaşa University and to the instructors giving lecture at Gaziosmanpaşa University who have foreign students in their classes and also face-to-face meetings were organized with them. The data obtained was examined in accordance with the possibilities provided by quantitative research. The main aim of the research is to determine the needs of academic Turkish language, to accelerate studies on academic Turkish teaching, to make contribution to the research and development of teaching Turkish as an academic language, and to present suggestions in the findings.
