A study prepared by Dr. Muhammed Mazhar Şahin details the teaching processes of Turkish in Qatar and its effects on the cultural dimension, soft power, and diplomacy of relations between Turkey and Qatar.
The Role of Turkish as a Communication Element
Examining the Turkish teaching processes in Qatar, the study offers a different perspective on the role the language can assume in relations between the two countries. In the book, Turkish is evaluated not only as a foreign language to be learned, but as an element that strengthens communication between societies.
Multi-Dimensional Development of Relations
Relations between Turkey and Qatar have gone beyond political closeness in recent years, spreading to areas such as economy, defense, education, tourism, and culture. The increasing contacts between the two countries have increased the interest of societies in each other's cultures.
Increasing Interest and Demand for Language Learning
The growing interest in Turkey in Qatar and the prevalence of travel have been influential in the formation of the demand for learning Turkish. For those wanting to learn Turkish, this has become a means of direct communication with Turkey and getting to know its culture.
International Relations and Cultural Ties
This situation is evaluated in terms of international relations in the study by Dr. Muhammed Mazhar Şahin. It is emphasized that language will contribute to the understanding of official relations between states by societies and to the strengthening of cultural ties.
Cultural Diplomacy and Soft Power
In terms of cultural diplomacy, learning a country's language in other societies ensures that culture is recognized through natural ways. The spread of Turkish in Qatar is of importance in terms of Turkey's cultural influence and soft power in the Gulf region.
Current Situation and Institutional Structure
The book discusses the development process of Turkish teaching in Qatar, its current situation, and the institutions providing this education. In addition, the opportunities and needs faced by teaching Turkish as a foreign language are comprehensively evaluated.
Strategic Approach and Future Vision
Şahin's study does not separate Turkish teaching from the general framework of Turkey-Qatar relations. The study presents an approach that examines how the strategic closeness between the two countries is reflected in the cultural and educational fields through language.
