Yurt Dışında Çoçuklara Türkçe Öğretiminde Kullanılan Ders Kitaplarının Dijital İçerik Özellikleri
Digital Content Features of Textbooks Used for Teaching Turkish to Children Abroad

Summary/Abstract: Language is a fundamental element in the process of an individual's thinking, communication, and the formation of cultural identity. For bilingual children living abroad, the preservation and development of Turkish is not merely a matter of language instruction; it is also crucial for the transmission of cultural identity. Given that children today grow up immersed in technology, it is important that the materials used for teaching Turkish are developed in alignment with the learning opportunities offered by technology. This study comparatively examines the digital content characteristics of the teaching materials *Pilot 6*, *Yaşayan Dilimiz Türkçe 6*, *Ne Haber?*, and *Sen ve Ben 7*. Data collection was conducted using the document analysis technique; the materials were evaluated based on the use of visual and audio content, QR codes and digital links, video and audio support, interactive activities, digital platform compatibility, contribution to student motivation, the level of support for language skills, and digital content designed for teachers. The study found that printed textbooks prepared for bilingual children offered limited digital support, whereas materials featuring digital platform integration provided richer learning opportunities capable of fostering student motivation and individual learning processes. The findings indicate a need for virtual teaching materials supported by online platforms for teaching Turkish to bilingual children.
