A Review of Literature on Turkish Language Education: Trends in International Conferences

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to report the basic tendencies at the presentations made at international conferences about Turkish language education, which are regularly carried out in Turkey. This report will enable discussing basic tendencies and points open to further development in Turkish language education, which is an interdiciplinary topic of science. This study is a descriptive research and a literature survey restricted by the database constructed. In this research, conducted by document analysis technique, which is a qualitative research method, content analysis has been carried out on conference books, abstract booklets and programmes in the frame of predefined categories. In the database, there are 1523 presentations, 837 being about Turkish language education and 686 in other fields. The findings obtained from the 837 presentations were primarly on the first level speakers of Turkish. In terms of content, the studies on material (tool) evaluation (especially textbook evaluation) and skill development (especially writing and reading skills) outnumbered other studies. Finally, the majority of studies were descriptive; therefore studies offering innovative ideas and solutions were lacking.
