Teaching Turkish from the Perspective of Teachers in the Balkans

Abstract

The mother tongue is important for every society. Because the mother tongue is one of the basic elements that includes the culture and history of the societies and the shaping of the individual's world of thought. Since identity is important in terms of showing who we are and which family we belong to, we have a positive attitude towards the elements that make up the identity. One of these elements, even most importantly, is the mother tongue. The main language awareness is to use the language in accordance with the rules, as well asto know the importance of the mother tongue and to try to prevent the corruption and corruption of the language. Through out history, different languages have emerged due to different political, religious and cultural elements being dominant in Balkan geography. Dominant elements in the geography affect the Balkan Turks and cause them to move away from their identity. With this increase in the geography of the Turks in the geography of the past, forget the language and culture; over time will lead to assimilation. The links between Balkan Turks and us; mother tongue, religion, culture and custom-made etc. are the elements. The continuation of these elements means the continuation of our existence in the said geography. In this study, we tried to determine the problems faced by Turkish teachers in M acedonia, Kosovo and Romania by using observation and interview technique in a random sample and suggestions were made for the problems.
