@article{2019,title={TWO TEXTS WRITTEN FOR TEACHING TURKISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO AFGHAN PEOPLE: KİTÂB-I ELİFBÂ-İ TÜRKÎ AND SARF-I TÜRKÎ},abstractNode={It can be suggested that Turkish language is being taught as a foreign language for a long period of time, and that activities aiming towards teaching Turkish to foreign people have multiplied in number during the course of history, in a manner parallel with the political sovereignty established by the Turks. Extant bilingual dictionaries and grammar books are of a nature to support this statement. In this study, we strive to introduce, and assess through examination in terms of methods and principles of foreign language teaching two lithographed works, which are thought to be printed in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan, approximately a hundred years ago, and written for teaching Turkish as a foreign language in schools. The understanding of teaching Turkish of aforementioned works are tried to be unraveled in the study prepared by document review method, which is one of qualitative research methods. These two works, which are reckoned to contribute to the historical development process of teaching Turkish abroad as a foreign language, are of great significance for contemplating on how Turkish has been taught outside Turkey at the beginning of the twentieth century. },author={Umut BAŞAR},year={2019},journal={Kesit Akademi}}
