This long historical process has helped both Turks and Turkish language to vary in an aspect of culture. This enrichment has affected primarily native language teaching and also teaching Turkish as a foreign language. Even though it has been claimed that the history of the teaching Turkish as a foreign language harkened back to the Sumerian era, The piece that was written in order to teach Turkish to Arabs is very important particularly because of been the first work aiming teaching Turkish as a foreign language.
