摘要：This study aims to analyze the studies conducted between the years 2000-2018 on Turkish children living abroad in terms of language development and to determine the research trends that observed in those studies by doing content analysis. The study is qualitative in design. In the analysis it was determined that there was a total of 37 studies, 19 of which were articles published in journals indexed in the TR-index and 18 of which were Master’s theses and doctoral dissertations that were available in the Higher Education Council National Dissertation Center. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The articles and theses were analyzed in terms of their years of publication, keywords, subjects, samples, countries, method, data collection tools, results, and recommendations. It was found that there were very few studies on the subject. It was determined that most of the studies focused on Turkish children living in European countries in which there were dense Turkish populations and that the mostly preferred keywords were mother tongue and bilingualism. It was also found that the studies generally focused on language skills, that qualitative method was used predominantly and questionnaire was the most preferred data collection tool in both articles and theses. The most common result in the studies was thatthe characteristics of the families affected language skills and most of the recommendations were made for governments.
