摘要:Foreign language, computer programs and social network applications or web sites are widely used by many people nowadays for various aims. In the literature, the number of studies investigating over university departments of physical education or more specifically to say, taking sports students’ and teachers’ foreign language and social networking usage ability as a research area is highly limited. Besides, the data extracted from trainers in regarding to their skills in foreign language and computer usage is not common enough in this research area. This research was done for the track and field trainers in Turkey. The participants of the study were comprised of 97 men and 45 women. The data were collected by the researcher and analyzed by with SPSS (22.0 for Mac, IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA); descriptive statistics, cross tabulations and correlations were calculated. According to the result of the study most of the trainers didn’t learn foreign language and some trainers don’t use computers and social networks in their professional life at all. To improve the international relationship between the trainers around the world and to make a significant research, it appears that the trainers should also improve themselves to learn computer programs, foreign languages and they should also take pedagogic formation courses to convey their knowledge accordingly.
