We held four Student Conferences (2017, 2018, 2021, 2023 and 2024) on Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language where our BA students have opportunity to share their experience and problems they face during their learning Turkish as a Foreign Language. In our opinion student conferences are very important since these experiences will be the first steps for their future scientific studies and research.
