Abstract:

Within the framework of university and school cooperation, the Turkish language teacher education is a multi-element system including Turkish teacher candidates, field academicians, Turkish teachers and primary/secondary school students who take Turkish lessons, and Turkish text books. Any change made to the field will affect each of these elements. As is known, the educational activities in the schools are carried out within the framework of the curriculum. The Ministry of National Education is responsible for the preparation and enforcement of curricula in our country. The Ministry of National Education has enacted a new curriculum for primary and secondary school Turkish lesson in 2017. The latest version of this curriculum was published in 2018. In this study, the previous Turkish lesson curriculums were compared with the 2018 Turkish lesson curriculum and then new text types of the curriculum were identified. Then, the existence of these text types in the 2017-2018 Turkish textbooks were examined. The research was conducted with the document review method. In conclusion, the text types which were not found in the previous curriculums, Turkish sources and in 2017-2018 Turkish textbooks were named as unusual text types, which is referred to in the title of the study. These types include: blog, social media message, email, brochure, poster, list, diagram, table, graphic, sketch, map, user guide, instruction text, procedural text, street writing, and placard. Finally, the features of these types were discussed using different academic studies. It is expected that this research will be beneficial for all the elements within the scope of university and national education by presenting resource diversity in the Turkish education field.
