Abstract:

 It is widely acknowledged that globalization has made a considerable
impact on multidimensional aspects of human life including the
language policies of many countries. This article examines the
adjustment of Turkey's language policy in response to the global
influence of English at different levels of Turkish national
education, including its role in Turkish academia, as an indication of
the status that English holds in the country by investigating the
macro policy changes in connection with micro level implementations
based on available research, official documents, and curriculum
documents. The findings indicate that although there is much evidence
pointing to the prominent role that English occupies in Turkish
education system largely through the government's planned language
policy, there also exist problems at the instructional level largely
due to the way in which English is propagated. Finally, implications
for future direction of language policy, practice, and research are
presented. (Contains 1 table and 2 notes.)
