Abstract:

The importance of teaching foreign languages, which is now accepted as a separate discipline, is increasing day by day. However, various problems have not been solved yet, such as training of Turkish language teaching experts for foreigners, the creation of course materials, and the selection of appropriate methods and techniques for teaching Turkish. In order to contribute to the resolution of these problems, one of the most important sources to be referred to is source books written specially for the field. There are various reference books about teaching Turkish to foreigners in the literature. In this study, it is aimed to examine source books written in Turkish in which the content of Turkish teaching for foreigners is directly created. In the study, the books, whose content analysis were made, were approached in terms of chapter divisions, content of sections and topics, the common and different aspects of contents in books. While there are many bibliographic studies that are specific to the field, there is not enough study to analyze the content of the resources. With this study, it is expected to make contribution to the field within the context of elimination of the mentioned deficiencies and guidance to the source books to be written thereafter as well as determination of the deficiencies in the literature.
