The aim of this study is to determine the teachers’ views on emergency distance Turkish teaching as a foreign
language after Covid-19 pandemic. In this context, the quantitative and qualitative data were collected
simultaneously in the study, which was created by using the convergent mixed design of the mixed method,
which is one of the basic research methods. The study group of the research consisted 137 of teachers
who were obliged to switch to emergency distance Turkish teaching while teaching Turkish face to face to
international students studying at Turkish Teaching Centers affiliated with universities. According to the
findings of the research, it was determined that teachers faced with many technological and pedagogical
problems. In addition, it was identified that before the process started, teachers did not receive any training
for distance Turkish teaching and therefore started distance teaching without experience. Moreover, it was
concluded that class sizes are suitable for distance teaching, writing is the most difficult skill to develop and
measure in distance teaching, and there is a lack of materials to be used in distance teaching.
