Özet:

In this recent period, when distance education has started to be used widely at almost all levels, it is thought that the studies to be carried out in the field of teaching the Turkish language as a foreign language will be beneficial for carrying out distance education processes more effectively. The study conducted in this context aims to examine instructors and students' views and behaviours regarding the lessons conducted synchronously with distance education in teaching the Turkish language as a foreign language. In this framework, the lecturers and students' views on the process were consulted, and the courses were observed. The study was conducted with qualitative research methods. Semi-structured observation form and semi-structured interview form were used in the study, which was organized in a nested single case pattern. In the research, one-on-one interviews were conducted with 4 instructors and 8 students. Two hours of observation were made in two different classes at A2 and B2 levels. Content analysis was made on the obtained data; codes, categories and themes have been reached. Based on the observations and interviews made during the study, the spatial and economic advantages came to the fore in the process of distance education, which is successful in terms of communication. On the other hand, it was stated that there are problems related to the development of speaking and writing skills, one of the basic language skills based on expression, and these problems are caused by the inadequacy of practicing opportunities and lack of materials. It has also been observed that there is no efficiency in grammar teaching. Technical problems, adaptation problems of faculty members and students to the online classroom environment are among the negative results determined as a result of the study.
