Summary/Abstract: There are certain stages and skill areas in teaching a foreign language. While an individual learns a language, primarily reading and listening skills develop. A learner who gains competence in these areas begins to improve his writing and speaking skills. First of all, the mind receives information related to the new language and begins to progress in writing and speaking skills by moving to the production stage. While reading, listening and writing skills, which are among these skill areas, continue their course, the desired efficiency cannot be achieved in speaking skills. Speaking skill, which we can call the most important of these skills, has actually been an indicator of how much a language is known. It will be a little difficult for someone who is good at listening and writing skills but not at the desired level in speaking skills to communicate in that language. Studies on speaking skills are limited, as it is such an important tool that people need most throughout their lives. The written products are generally aimed at the development of this skill, and a limited number of works talk about the factors affecting the speaking skill. Factors affecting speaking skills in teaching Turkish to foreigners are extremely important for the development of this skill. The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting speaking skills in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. Since quantitative and qualitative research methods will be used together in the study, mixed method was chosen. The quantitative part of the research will consist of a survey to be administered to students and content analysis, while the qualitative part will consist of data collection tools such as one-on-one interview form, focus interview and document analysis.
