人们普遍认为，全球化对人类生活的多方面产生了相当大的影响，包括许多国家的语言政策。本文考察了土耳其语言政策的调整，以应对英语在土耳其国民教育不同层面的全球影响，包括其在土耳其学术界的作用，通过调查与微观层面实施相关的宏观政策变化，基于现有的研究、官方文件和课程文件，考察了英语在该国的地位。研究结果表明，尽管有很多证据表明英语在土耳其教育体系中占据突出地位，主要是由于政府计划的语言政策，但在教学层面上也存在问题，主要是由于英语的传播方式。最后，提出了对未来语言政策、实践和研究方向的启示。
It is widely acknowledged that globalization has made a considerable impact on multidimensional aspects of human life including the language policies of many countries. This article examines the adjustment of Turkey’s language policy in response to the global influence of English at different levels of Turkish national education, including its role in Turkish academia, as an indication of the status that English holds in the country by investigating the macro policy changes in connection with micro level implementations based on available research, official documents, and curriculum documents. The findings indicate that although there is much evidence pointing to the prominent role that English occupies in Turkish education system largely through the government’s planned language policy, there also exist problems at the instructional level largely due to the way in which English is propagated. Finally, implications for future direction of language policy, practice, and research are presented.
