Distance Turkish Learning Portal (DTLP), developed by Yunus Emre Institute to teach Turkish remotely, is one of these applications. An unexpected interest in this practice was observed after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the portal is still in the trial phase. For this reason, although user feedback is vital in order to improve the portal, no academic research on this issue has been conducted yet. In this context, the researcher aims to evaluate the Distance Turkish Learning Portal as regards students' opinions. For this purpose, a qualitative research model, which is frequently used in educational sciences, was used to collect data, and a subsequent case study was carried out for an in-depth evaluation of their beliefs. The methods were employed to effectively and reliably collect data on learners’ beliefs on the issue in question. Data was collected through a Google form that was shared with the participants. As a result of the research, it is understood that the participants enjoyed using the portal in that, firstly, it is free; secondly, it provides the opportunity to get to know Turkish culture, and finally, it also supports autonomous and self-learning. On the other hand, the technical infrastructure of the portal is insufficient, and there is no instructional or tutorial support, lack of interactive speaking features, besides the number of videos have been found to be inadequate by the users. At the end of the study, based on the findings, some suggestions were offered by the researchers to improve the Distance Turkish Learning Portal.  \nKeywords: Distance Learning Turkish, Learner Views, Language Teaching, Yunus Emre Institute  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2020.334.12  \n1Assit.

They have wanted to learn languages for several purposes such as interacting with people of different nationalities. Language teaching activities have been carried out in various institutions and organizations to meet the need of people. Language teaching activities are divided into two categories as in-class (classroom) and out-of-class (extracurricular) activities.  \nThe classroom environment is one of the most basic elements of the learning process. Learners both participate in learning activities in the classroom and find the opportunity to socialize with their peers who have similar goals. In-class practices at all levels of education, from kindergarten to higher education, lie at the core of all teaching processes.  \nIn addition, developments in internet technologies around the world have enabled a new learning-teaching environment to find itself a place in the relevant literature. Platforms, also called virtual language learning environments, help learners learn languages regardless of time and space. In addition, thanks to such platforms, individual learning environments are offered to learners, and it is now possible to customize one's learning depending on personal traits and learning habits. Educational materials used in the process provide permanent learning, make the learner understand concrete and difficult issues more easily, s","cbCaitu8CBHclpxk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitu8CBHclpxk","pdf",309752,26,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Background of language teaching\n## Role of online learning platforms\n## COVID-19 and remote education context\n# DTLP evaluation through qualitative study","[{\"question\":\"Why was the Distance Turkish Learning Portal evaluated in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Because the portal remains in a trial phase and no academic research had yet examined users’ opinions on it, despite the need for feedback to improve it.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the researchers collect data about students’ opinions?\",\"answer\":\"They used a qualitative research model with a subsequent case study, collecting data through a Google form shared with participants.\"},{\"question\":\"What benefits of the portal did students report?\",\"answer\":\"Participants enjoyed using it because it is free, it helps them learn about Turkish culture, and it supports autonomous self-learning.\"}]","Yunus Emre Institute Students' Views on the Distance Turkish Learning Portal | PDF",1792095389,66]
