Özet:

A need has always emerged since the existence of human beings; people have maintained their existence by sometimes seeking answers to this need and sometimes meeting this need. In our age, which cannot keep up with the pace of transition, new fields of interest and needs have emerged in foreign language teaching. There has been an increasing trend towards language teaching for specific purposes programs in the "vocational" and "educational" fields in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In this direction, while academic studies, resource books, curricula, course materials, and websites are being developed day by day, such studies have unfortunately started to be made in Turkey only in recent years. This study examines the teaching language for specific purposes studies in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. The research data were accessed by document analysis, which is one of the data acquisition techniques of the qualitative research method. In the study, only language teaching for specific purposes studies in teaching Turkish as a foreign language were discussed. While examining such academic studies as theses and articles, course materials, like books and dictionaries, were not included in the research. It has been determined that the majority of the documents examined within the scope of the research are prepared for academic Turkish, but there are also studies on professional Turkish such as banking, law, economics, tourism, etc. In the research, it has been concluded that in order to achieve success both in university education and in the fields of specialization of international students who come to Turkey for educational purposes, more Turkish teaching studies for specific purposes, especially Academic Turkish studies, should be carried out to meet their needs.
