Özet:

While English has been used as a Lingua Franca (LF) for many years all around the world, Türkiye on the other hand, which has been experiencing mass migration to its lands and started the internationalization process, teaching Turkish to foreigners as a second or foreign language has attracted attention. As a result of the attention given to Turkish language, the institutions in Türkiye initiated several projects to design language materials according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) criteria while materials were adapted for English language years ago. Since one of the materials used during teaching is textbooks, the aim of this study is to examine and compare the organization of the books and spoken interaction activities of one A1-level English coursebook published for those who learn English as a foreign language and one A1-level Turkish coursebook published for those who learn Turkish as a foreign language using CEFR criteria. For this reason, two books written in both languages were selected by getting expert opinion and their units were analyzed with the document analysis method. When the results are examined, it is found out that there are several differences between the organization of the units and layout of the books. Moreover, there are more spoken interaction activities in English coursebook than the Turkish coursebook.
