Turkish-Arab Science TASCA, The Agenda Of Teaching Turkish In Arab World
4 July 2009
The Turkish-Arab Science, Culture and Art Association (TASCA) has launched Turkish language courses in Morocco, Sudan and Jordan as part of efforts to spread the use of Turkish in the Arab world, the chairman of the organization has stated. TASCA President Muhammed Adil, who was in the district of Domaniç in Kütahya with a group of representatives of various Arab countries, told the Anatolia news agency that TASCA is committed to working to make Turkish a world language. Explaining that they set up TASCA to serve as a bridge between the Turkish and Arab societies, he emphasized that language is an important means to develop cooperation. “I get a large number of e-mails and phone calls from Arab countries from people inquiring where and how they can learn Turkish. With a decision made by our board of administrators, we chose Morocco, Sudan and Jordan as pilot countries and opened Turkish language courses.” He said demand for Turkish language courses in the three pilot countries was very high but there was a shortage of teachers. “Turkish teachers are necessary for these courses and for some of the optional language courses being taught at high schools as electives in those countries. This is why we would like to see the Ministry of Education or other institutions come up with projects in this area. Turkish teachers should be sent to Arab countries and our language should be spread in those lands, too,” Adil said. He said Turkish professors were also needed in the Turkish language and literature departments of some Arab universities.
