The educational legacy and heritage that the Ottoman Empire inherited from the Seljuk and other Islamic empires were developed and carried on by the empire. Since the texts being studied during this time were in Arabic, the majority of instruction in madrasas took place in Arabic. Turkish was favoured in the classroom, nevertheless. Throughout the classical Ottoman era, it may be said that most madrasa graduates were literate in two or three languages in addition to their mother tongue, such as Arabic and Persian.(Özkan, 2010)

The Ottoman Empire had complete military dominance over Western states up to 1699. Nonetheless, the Ottoman Empire started to progressively relinquish its power over the West to the dominance of Europe after the Treaty of Karlowitz was signed in 1699. Envoys from the Ottoman Empire had to send there diplomats, envoys in order to fully understand and observe Europe. The diplomatic landscape changed, which had an impact on language instruction in the Ottoman Empire. This condition persisted up until the Babâli Translation Office (Babâli Tercüme Odası) was established in 1821. The first organization in the Ottoman Empire to systematically teach foreign languages was the Babâli Translation Office (Özkan, 2010).

Foreign language instruction began at secondary educational institutions with the opening of Sultanis during the Tanzimat period, which is seen as the start of the westernization drive. Under the name Galatasaray Sultanisi, these institutions—which can be viewed as the forerunners of today's high schools—were initially established in 1868. Due to the impact of French culture and France, this institution, which was the first public school to offer foreign language teaching in Turkey, used French as the language of instruction. After Galatasaray Sultanisi, additional secondary educational schools bearing the names Dadi and Sultani were established in 1869, and their curricula included courses in foreign languages. French was the only foreign language that was required starting in 1908, however English and German languages were also given as options. (Çakır,2007)

It appears that Robert College, established by American missionaries in 1863, was the first private international school to start in Turkey. As Abdulhamit forbade Turks from receiving an education, the school was founded to disseminate American culture and was taught in English. Subsequently, schools teaching in their respective languages were also opened in French, English, America, Germany, and Italian. However, these institutions came under the state's jurisdiction and oversight thanks to the regulations created by Saffet Pasha, the minister of education(Çakır,2007).

Darüşşafaka Lisesi, the first private high school in Turkey, was founded in 1873 and placed a strong value on French instruction. Although there were numerous attempts to teach foreign languages in the Ottoman Empire prior to the declaration of the Republic of Turkey, significant progress on language instruction appears to have begun in the middle of the 18th century and picked up steam in the 19th. The importance of acquiring and teaching foreign languages increased with the establishment of Galatasaray Lisesi and other foreign schools as well as military academies in the early 20th century. (Çakır,2007)
