An den staatlichen Schulen der Türkei bekommen die Lernenden 11 Jahre lang Hunderte von Stunden Fremdsprachenunterricht, merken die meisten Lernenden jedoch am Ende der Schule, dass sie fast kein Wort von diesen Fremdsprachen können. Das hat viele Ursachen, von denen der Mangel an Motivation, die Ziellosigkeit, die falschen Lehrmethoden, der Bedarf an gut ausgebildete Lehrkräfte und die unvernünftige Zeitplanung die wichtigsten zu sein scheinen. Ziel dieser Forschung ist es, einen effektiveren Fremdsprachenunterricht an öffentlichen Schulen zu ermöglichen. Es wird erwartet, dass Fremdsprachenlernen an den öffentlichen Schulen produktiver wird, wenn die vorgesehenen Vorschläge umgesetzt werden können. Die durch Literaturrecherchen festgestellten Probleme beim Fremdsprachenlernen an den öffentlichen Schulen und die dafür vorgeschlagenen Lösungen wurden den Lehrern, die die meisten Erfahrungen zu diesem Thema haben, mittels eines Fünf-Punkte-Likert-Fragebogens zu ihren Meinungen präsentiert. Diese festgestellten Probleme und deren Lösungsvorschläge wurden auch durch die Umfrage unterstützt.
