1. Johan Vandewalle, Turkish-FL, Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language

I hereby wish to inform all colleagues teaching Turkish as a Foreign
Language that a "Forum for Teachers of Turkish as a Foreign Language"
has been created on the adress:

http://www.egroups.com/group/Turkish-FL

Everyone who is teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language (TFL), all over
the world, is kindly invited to contribute to this Forum. You may write
in Turkish or English. The aims of this Forum are: (1) to describe
problems encountered by foreign students of Turkish and, most important,
suggest possible solutions; (2) to clarify specific problems of Turkish
language use that have not yet been sufficiently described in existing
Turkish grammars; (3) to discuss different didactic approaches, methods
and techniques that are being used or could be used for TFL; (4) to
evaluate new publications in the field of TFL; (5) to exchange
information on seminars and symposia on TFL; (6) to maintain contact
between Teachers of TFL.

Best regards,

Johan Vandewalle
