And Iran is one of the regions that Turkish is taught as a foreign language. Azeri people who live in Iran have various motivations to study Turkish.

These mistakes are usually based on translations from Azerbaijani to Turkish and also translations from Persian to a certain degree. In this study, common written mistakes made by Iranian Turkic people were analyzed with content analysis method, a type of qualitative research method, and also listed by titles. Furthermore, the reasons of the common written mistakes were attempted to be explained and possible solutions were suggested to reduce such written mistakes of the Turkic-speaker target group.},author={Emrah BOYLU-Umut BAŞAR},year={2015},journal={The Journal of International Educational Sciences}}
