As a result of the present study, it is thought to provide contribution to curriculum formation and development of a proper teaching method by detecting how much the provided courses serve the aims of the department. Moreover, it is considered that the identification language of the Turkic World and literature policies will get easier with the help of the outcomes obtained from the study.
