Türkçe Eğitimi için Yapay Zekâ Destekli Dil Uygulaması (DİLİM Platformu)
Initiative overview
The DİLİM Platform, or Foreign Language Learning Platform, is a comprehensive digital education initiative by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of National Education (MoNE), designed for all Turkish citizens aged seven and over. It aims to transform foreign-language education into a gamified, interactive and personalised learning experience tailored to different age groups.
By providing accessible digital content, the initiative overcomes the limitations of traditional methods and offers a modular structure integrated with national educational software systems. The initiative enables users to develop the four core language skills, reading, writing, speaking and listening, through interactive activities aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The technical infrastructure supports at least 10,000 simultaneous users without performance degradation, ensuring reliability and nationwide scalability.
The project is structured around three main phases. Phase 1 focused on developing student modules for web and mobile platforms. Phase 2 expanded the ecosystem to include system-management, teacher and parent modules, strengthening institutionalisation and integration with national authentication systems such as EBA and e-Devlet single sign-on. This integration enables teachers to assign tasks within the system and allows parents to monitor their children’s progress.
The project is currently in Phase 3, which centres on advanced artificial intelligence integration. In this phase, AI-powered assistants are being incorporated, particularly for speaking and writing skills. Through AI-supported speaking and writing assistants, users receive real-time feedback and structured practice opportunities, enabling them to improve their pronunciation, fluency, coherence and grammatical accuracy.
These intelligent tools allow learners to practise conversational dialogue and written expression in a safe, interactive environment tailored to their individual proficiency levels.
Looking ahead, the DİLİM Platform will continue to expand beyond English to include additional languages. Built on a Kubernetes-based scalable architecture, the platform is designed to accommodate a continuously growing user base. Sustainability is supported through continuous content updates, technical maintenance and alignment with evolving mobile operating systems.
By centralising development and governance under the Ministry, the initiative aims to create a sustainable, AI-enhanced national foreign-language learning ecosystem and foster a linguistically proficient society.
