Summary/Abstract: Today’s globalising world in which we are all somehow in a rush is moving so rapidly makes us overexert to be faster than anyone, because being simply fast is inadequate to integrate success into our lives. Information has turned into an open source instrument and that is why everyone should equip themselves with as many as foreign languages for easier access to the global data bank. There are many students, particularly in the science and math intensive departments, unaware of the unavoidable requirement to know at least one foreign language for autonomous learning in the developing sectoral structure they do strive for attaining their places. This study has been basically intended to reveal our unsystematic approach to learning foreign languages in Turkey and to ascertain by a survey whether the engineering students realise the importance of knowing a foreign language in order to advance more easily in their career.
