Founded in 1982, the Department of Turkish Language and Literature Education aims to train qualified teachers who are aware of contemporary assessment and evaluation approaches, who can organize teaching activities in line with technological developments, who can use different teaching methods and strategies in teaching processes, and who can follow the studies in the field with its 4-year undergraduate program based on contemporary approaches in teacher training. In line with this purpose, field knowledge, professional knowledge courses, and general culture courses are taught in the department program in order to support both the professional development and field dominance of the students. The department, which continues its education under the roof of the Department of Turkish and Social Sciences Education, has been implementing a formal education program since its establishment. In addition to 4 years of undergraduate education, master’s and doctoral education is also carried out under the Institute of Educational Sciences. The language of instruction in all undergraduate and graduate Turkish Language and Literature Education programs is Turkish.
