Language of Education


That language of education is English in some university is useful or harmful for students is controversial issue. Learning in another language is difficult and has some disadvantage. One of them is understanding completely subjects which are tought because while listening lessons students have to understand both the subject and the language which is spoken. Perhaps while trying to understand the language, things which are told may be missed. In this circumstances education can not be fulfill its pricipal duty. Secondly, learning a lot of terms in another language can be obstacle in term of fulfilling the duties in Turkish employement area. It causes failure in individual's working life and diffident. Finally it composes big gaps between the individual and society and causes gradually to disappear his or her own culture.

  1. As you say, learning in another language can be obstacle in terms of fulfilling the duties in Turkish employement area. So education must be in Turkish in Turkey, I think. But for us, namely for students who study to be a teacher of English, it can be useful to teach them in English
