Abstract :
The success of a student in Turkish course may directly affect his or her other courses and social relations. Therefore, attention must be paid both to Turkish courses and their target behaviours related to the students. There are five different teaching areas in Turkish curriculum. These are listening, speaking, reading, writing and language skills. Reaching the aims of these teaching areas depends on a harmonic and coherent work of all areas. The Nasreddin Hodja stories are one of the most important works of the Turkish culture and oral literature. Thus, it is feasible to provide students with basic skills by making various activities through the Nasreddin Hodja stories. In this study, it has been aimed at addressing the question of how these stories can be used in basic teaching areas of the Turkish course. This study has concluded that the Nasreddin Hodja stories are very efficient in teaching those areas in Turkish curriculum. In addition, it is also possible to provide students with modern features like self-identity, humanity, allowance, flexibility and creative mind.
