The Asia-Pacific region, which has gained a more prominent place in world politics for the last 20 years, is divided into various sub-geographies such as south, southeast, east Asia, and Oceania. Turkey's relations with these regional states have not had a comprehensive perspective – from education to culture – until now. When the studies in the field of teaching Turkish as a foreign language are examined, it has been noticed that region-based studies take up very little space in the literature. Therefore, ın terms of Turkey's relations with the Asia-Pacific regions, this study deals with cultural public diplomacy and language teaching, which can be considered one of the most effective associated tools with it. In this context, the performances of authorized institutions, especially the content of the textbooks, were evaluated. In the final analysis, this study, which is prepared with an interdisciplinary method and focuses on a subject that can be considered a virgin area in the literature, examines whether the Asia-Pacific region is reflected or not in the textbooks for teaching Turkish as a foreign language. This study, which assigns its main research question as "How and to what extent the Asia Pacific region is included in the cultural content in the textbooks for teaching Turkish as a foreign language?", argues that cultural elements are an effective foreign policy tool as a soft power factor.
