Abstract:

Teaching Turkish is an important discipline that continues its development not only by diversifying from mother tongue teaching to foreign language teaching, from second language teaching to teaching Turkish to bilinguals but also by nourishing this diversity. This discipline benefits from national regulations and practices with the contribution of international and interdisciplinary studies. Educational sciences and pedagogy are at the forefront of these disciplines, but they take place in many fields such as preschool, literature teaching, psychology and sociology. Studies in the field of psychology, especially in the field of learning psychology, have affected the development of disciplines related to language teaching as much as in each field related to educational sciences. Within the scope of this study, the gradual release of responsibility model, which was brought to the literature with the studies of Fisher and Nancy in 2003 and 2008, was discussed and explained in terms of Turkish language teaching. In this descriptive research design which is based on document analysis, it was theoretically explained how gradual release of responsibility model could be used for teaching Turkish language both as a mother tongue and as a foreign/second language. Currently, activities and instructional designs are being designed for the application of the model.
