Turkish From the Perspective of Greek Students: Challenges and Factors Affecting Learning

Öz

This study examines the linguistic challenges experienced by Greek students learning Turkish as a foreign language and identifies the key factors influencing their learning process. Within the context of foreign language learning, the study explores students’ perceptions, motivations, and learning experiences through a descriptive framework. It aims to provide pedagogical implications for teaching Turkish as a foreign language based on learners’ experiences. The study adopts a mixed – methods approach. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire including closed – ended, Likert – scale, and open – ended questions. The participants consisted of 35 undergraduate students enrolled in the Department of Turkish Studies and Contemporary Asian Studies at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that students experience the greatest difficulties in syntax and vocabulary. Interaction with native speakers and exposure to authentic language input were found to support the learning process. Additionally, motivation, cultural background, and instructor support emerged as key factors. The findings highlight the importance of student – centered and interaction – based approaches in teaching Turkish as a foreign language.
