Human beings recognize and introduce themselves through language. According to (Aksan 2003) “language is a multi-faceted developed symbolic group that allows thoughts, feelings and aspirations to be transmitted to others by making use of items and rules common to voice and meaning in a society” (p. 11). People communicate in their own societies through their languages. When people living in different societies and when different settlements come together to communicate with each other, each community has become familiar and ordinary with a different language for another society. Thus, the need for people to learn a foreign language has emerged. The subject of this study is different orientations in foreign language teaching.
