Abstract :
This study, with an objective to classify the scientific terminology employed in languageeducation, consists of two parts. The first part of the study deals with the subjects of term and terminology. In this regard, the study focused on the positive effects of the use of terminology and the general characteristics of terms. The second part of the study identifies the sources of the terms, which are directly and indirectly related to language education. The terms directly related to language education were gathered from the fields of reading education, writing education, speaking education, listening education, vocabulary research, first reading and writing instruction. The terms of an interdisciplinary nature were identified from the fields of communication, semiotics, brain and memory research, measurement and evaluation, epistemology, psychology of learning and development, principles and methods of teaching, text linguistics, literature, grammar and linguistics fields. A total of 182 terms was determined from the fields directly related to language education. The field of study with the highest number of terms in this category was elocution. A total of 295 terms were compiled from the auxiliary fields within the study. The highest number of terms in this category were gathered from General Concepts (76), combining the fields of Principles of Teaching Methods and Psychology of Learning and Development. Given the term categories and their distribution in the literature, it can be stated that the field of language education is an interdisciplinary field of study.
