This study is intended to analyze the nearly one-century history of the School of Infants of Eastern Languages, which was founded by the French government in Istanbul in 1669 with the aim of training interpreters of eastern languages, and the methods employed to teach Turkish as a foreign language as well as the purposes and targets of the school. Doubtless, the school in question forms the most important cornerstone of the history of teaching Turkish as a foreign language. The most significant quality of the school of eastern languages is that it teaches its students, who are citizens of France, the Turkish culture and language in Istanbul from their early ages onwards. These students have undertaken important tasks and positions in the forthcoming years as diplomats and interpreters in field of international affairs, thus bridging the Ottoman culture and European culture. %K Ecole des Enfants de Langue d¡¯Istanbul %K Turkish as a foreign language teaching %K The History of Foreign Language Education stanbul Frans z Dil O lanlar Okulu %K T¨¹rk enin yabanc dil olarak retimi %K Yabanc Dil E itimi Tarihi %U http://www.turkishstudies.net/Makaleler/1950352579_31a%c4%9f%c4%b1ldere_timur_suna.pdf
