N2  - The study investigated Syrian students‘ resilience, the ability to bounce back from some form of disaster,  disruption, stress, or change. The situation in Syria caused thousands of deaths and millions of refugees, which is  the main source of disaster and Syrian students need to recover from this. According to UNHCR, Turkey  welcomed around 2.523.554 refugees, 314.917 of whom are located in Gaziantep, which constitutes about 20 %  of total population of the city. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of L+ (Turkish and/or English)  learning in resilience of Syrian students studying at Gaziantep University intensive Turkish and English  language programs. Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected through the Connor–Davidson  Resilience Scale and interviews. The results suggested that our participants had a medium level of resilience and  L+ Turkish and English have different roles in building resilience among Syrian refugee students.
