Challenges Faced by Teachers in Teaching Turkish to Turkish Children Residing Abroad
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Teaching Turkish (IJRTT) - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This research aims to investigate the difficulties faced by teachers in instructing Turkish to Turkish children residing abroad. The study involves 15 teachers employed in Turkish public schools located in Kyrgyzstan during the 2021-2022 academic year, specializing in Turkish language teaching and general classroom instruction. The participants are referred to as "Participants," and codes such as "K1," "K2," etc., are assigned to protect their anonymity. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, employing semi-structured interview forms as the primary data collection technique. Participants were selected using the purposive sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis, with 95 responses obtained and subsequently analyzed in terms of frequencies and percentages. The research findings reveal several significant challenges encountered by teachers in teaching Turkish to Turkish children abroad. The most frequently reported issues include students speaking languages other than Turkish among themselves, the presence of students from diverse nationalities in the classroom, which negatively affects Turkish language comprehension due to reduced in-class interactions, a scarcity of Turkish language usage at home and limited exposure to Turkish television channels among the students' families, and the inadequacy of Turkish resources and course materials due to differences in alphabets between the child's country of residence and the Latin alphabet. Based on the findings, practical recommendations are proposed to address these challenges and enhance the teaching of Turkish.
