Hüseyin Yazıcı — 2024-08-29

The Arabic language is one of the oldest living languages and especially since Islamic conquests, Arabic became the language of science, literature, politics, and culture. Therefore, it has become a necessity to teach this language correctly to both Arabs and members of other nations that have entered Islam. Significant developments were gradually realized in the Jahiliyya, Umayyad, Abbasid, and Andalusian periods, especially in the modern period. Arabic, which was initially taught through texts, was taken to a new dimension with the introduction of grammar books, and the Arabic was tried to be taught through grammar books this time. Also, scholars ensured that grammar books had the ability to teach Arabic better. Thus, some Andalusian scholars came east to teach the Arabic more practically and brought the best grammar books to the West, but then wrote their own books in which they presented their own teaching methods. After the views of François Gouin (1831–1896) on the four language skills and the methods, theories, and approaches to language teaching, attempts to teach the Arabic more scientifically began, especially in the West and long after in the Arab world. In this study, which has been written by reviewing some of the studies on the subject so far, the innovative developments in the Arabic language have been brought from the beginning to the present day, and the sets prepared for language teaching in the Arab world, especially in the modern period, have been paralleled with some of the Western studies in this field.

Teaching Psychology of Turkish as a Foreign Language

Adem ÖzkanEmine Özkan — 2024-08-29

Linguistics tries to explain issues related to the formation, origin and use of language through human behavior. The active use of psychology in language and the situations that occur during teaching are at the heart of this branch of science. Practices and processes of teaching Turkish to foreigners also fall within the field of Psycholinguistics. Language psychology begins with determining the need and continues with motivation. The psychological adventure of language is affected by factors such as motivation, age, status, sense of achievement, and prejudice. Difficulties may arise in learning the language in cultures that are viewed with prejudice, in societies where there are cultural differences, and in societies with different world views. In teaching Turkish to foreigners, both cultural and social harmony must be achieved. Adapted individuals will begin to learn the language by getting rid of prejudices or criticism against Turkish. Adapting can actually be perceived as accepting the target language in many aspects. It makes language learning easier by removing the complexity. When considered in the context of language psychology or linguistics, Turkish is seen as an easy language to learn and apply. Some grammar rules that exist in Turkish and the fact that it is in the inflected language category make it easier to learn.
