Özet: Turkey, owing to its geographical position, is located on important migration routes. Therefore, Turkey, in many phases of history, has been a transition point to other continents or a shelter for the immigrants who were forced to migration. Today, Republic of Turkey and Germany are the two important countries which took over the responsibility to open their gates to the immigrants who were forced to abandon their countries as a result of the civil war that broke out in Syria. This dramatic situation, caused by the people forced to abandon their countries, has both political and economic and sociocultural aspects. In Turkey, according to the datum by Ministry of Internal Affairs Directorate General of Migration Management, there are 3.359.384 Syrian immigrants by May 2018. In Germany, this figure is 700.000. Turkey and Germany have applied a number of orientation facilities in order to simplify the adaptation of the immigrants to the society, by means of their own domestic policies and economic conditions. And one of the most important of these is the teaching of the language which makes up the basis of the manifesto. Language is to be offered to the immigrants as a primary goal in order to teach them the social structure of the country they are in, law system, culture, history, their rights and responsibilities. In this research, what kind of programs Republic of Turkey and Germany have devised about “teaching language to the immigrants” and how these programs have been applied and how successful they have been will be examined.

Should a different language teaching method be used in teaching foreign languages to immigrants? What kind of a method is followed in teaching foreign language to the immigrants who are illiterate?
