Abstract

Experience in foreign language teaching shows that every learner in a foreign language can secure a certain learning success through a textbook specially designed for him or her. However, whether one can produce a foreign-language textbook that at least takes into account the teaching and learning experiences of a single culture is a question that is still awaiting its answer in some countries? For this reason, the question arises whether it is not possible to solve this problem by the learners of a foreign language, the framework of this foreign language (what is that? - please define!) Develop yourself and then try their learning experiences again and again new to learning this foreign language. For an approximate answer to this question, this paper presents the structure and results of a survey conducted annually among Turkish DaF students. The survey was conducted after completing a one-semester preparatory course with the aim of developing a curriculum based on the learning experiences of the course participants. There are 60 students in the preparatory course and 60 students with 6 hours of German lessons per week for a total of 6 weeks. The aim of this paper is to examine whether it makes sense to give a foreign language in a preparatory course with 25 hours a week seminars with textbooks in a foreign language college whose contents and topics do not level out the learning experiences of the learners' culture or perhaps provide a curriculum develop that is not based on a textbook.
