yararlan›labilece¤i dile getirilmektedir.
ABSTRACT
On the verge of joining the European Union, Turkey needs well trained young people, especially in the field of foreign
languages. However, as is the case in the rest of the world, foreign language in Turkey is taken to mean English. When Turkey’s
relations with the European Union are taken into consideration, other European languages, more specifically German, turn out to be
very important. Therefore, it is inevitable that graduates of German Language and Literature Departments and of German Language
Teaching Departments, who have difficulty in employment, can be seen as valuable potential human resource.
Thus, the study points out that the above-mentioned difficulty of employment could be overcome by making the learning of
German a second foreign language in the Turkish education system compulsory. Furthermore, undergraduates studying at German
Language and Literature Departments can be allowed to take courses from various departments such as tourism, economics and international
relations to contribute to the efforts on the way of Turkey’s accession to the European Union
