The State of German as a Foreign Language in Turkey: A Bibliometric Analysis from WoK Data

Abstract

Although there is a growing interest on studies with a focus on English language in Turkey, German still maintains its importance. In the beginning of the 20th century, the interest was followed initially with the French language and then attempts were made on German language in Turkey. Finally, English language had a superiority of interest both in formal and informal educational settings in the late 1900s. This movement surpassed the interest on French language and paved the way for German language after English. In the 21st century, the interest on foreign language has become undeniably on English but German language has still been focused as a secondary point of interest in Turkey. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was made from the Web of Knowledge data. The analysis included 165 articles orginated from Turkey. The results indicated that the number of publications had risen in recent years more. Also, the fields of Language and Linguistics as well as Education and Educational Research employed more citations than other fields of research. Additionally, the number of citations showed a rising trend particularly in the last ten years, meaning the interest in the field of German language has been growing in the research literature.
