Özet
This study aims to examine the function of literary texts in course materials used in teaching Turkish to foreigners in terms of transferring social values. In this context, five literary texts (Tarık Buğra's "Morning at Home", Sait Faik Abasıyanık's "Sivriada Nights", Nasreddin Hodja's anecdote "Hocanın Öteki Köyde Yaptıkları", Selim Sırrı Tarcan's "Mutlu Olmanın Yolu" and Karacaoğlan's poem "Gidelim") in Units VI and XII of the BENGÜ A2 textbook were evaluated through thematic analysis. The study examined how these texts reflect values specific to Turkish society such as family ties, love of nature, spirituality, labor, industriousness, patience, humor, contentment, hospitality and solidarity; the relevant values were defined and interpreted separately for each text. The study reveals that literary texts not only provide language input, but can also be used as a pedagogical tool in the transmission of cultural identity characteristics and values. Qualitative research method, which is one of the scientific research methods, descriptive analysis and content analysis design were used in the study. As a result of the analysis, it is stated that literary texts make important contributions to the acquisition of cultural awareness as well as communication competence in foreign language teaching. As a result of this research, which contains important data for material development experts and language teachers, various suggestions are also included.
