Özet:

The basic level (A1-A2) is an important threshold in foreign language teaching. Most descriptors of social functions are at this level. Competencies required for linguistic interaction in travel, abroad and in daily life and which must be acquired to meet basic needs are also included at this level (TELC, 2013, p. 39). Therefore, a foreigner who has completed the basic level is expected to express himself easily in the target language and to continue his daily life without any problems. It is aimed to develop the reading, listening, speaking and writing skills of those who learn Turkish as a foreign language, and to teach grammar structures together with the skills in the process. Grammar is not considered a separate skill. However, grammar has an important place in the development of speaking and writing, which are called productive skills. Students have the opportunity to experience the language structures they have learned by speaking and writing. In this study, the habits of using grammatical structures of A2 level students learning Turkish as a foreign language in Turkey were investigated. In determining the grammar structures, the "Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language Program" prepared by the Turkish Maarif Foundation (2020) was taken as a basis, and it was examined how often the students benefited from these structures in their writing papers. The research is important in terms of revealing the grammar structures that A2 level students use most. It is expected that determining the grammatical structures that the students learning Turkish as a foreign language most need and use in Turkey will help to plan the language teaching processes and to determine the primary grammatical structures.
