In this context, the quantitative and qualitative data were collected simultaneously in the study, which was created by using the convergent mixed design of the mixed method, which is one of the basic research methods. The study group of the research consisted 137 of teachers who were obliged to switch to emergency distance Turkish teaching while teaching Turkish face to face to international students studying at Turkish Teaching Centers affiliated with universities. According to the findings of the research, it was determined that teachers faced with many technological and pedagogical problems. In addition, it was identified that before the process started, teachers did not receive any training for distance Turkish teaching and therefore started distance teaching without experience. Moreover, it was concluded that class sizes are suitable for distance teaching, writing is the most difficult skill to develop and measure in distance teaching, and there is a lack of materials to be used in distance teaching.Keywords : Covid-19, distance teaching, foreign language, Turkish teaching
