Abstract :
When teaching a foreign language, grammar is important because it helps to develop other language skills. Avoidance of the classical ways of teaching grammar is vital in none having a dull lesson. The main point of this paper is that the usage of Turkish folk literature in teaching grammar topics to foreigners will make the lessons more entertaining and memorable. Scanning method was used in choosing the works of the folk literature. Besides it includes the experience of the researcher who has taught Turkish to foreign students for a long time. When you teach a foreign language you actually transfer a culture, which means that the person who is learning a particular foreign language, it stands for that the students would get knowledge about the culture of those people to some extent. This study includes only folkloric examples regarding case suffixes of Turkish Language. Also, ways of using tongue twisters, riddles, singing ditty, proverbs and idioms in the lesson have been discussed. Some of the properties that make folkloric works suitable for teaching Turkish are: ability to be sung in a tune (melody), laconism (having short sentences) and applicability in the classroom as well.
