In terms of syntactic typology, the differences and similarities between Arabic and Turkish were investigated. In addition, this research aims to detect how the differences between the two languages affect the learning of Turkish as a foreign language. Data were collected by interviewing 21 students of the level (B1-B2) from both the University of Jordan and the Amman Yunus Emre Turkish Cultural Center.

The syntactic errors obtained were analyzed by using the error analysis method in order to determine the source of frequent errors and suggestions were presented to solve these errors.
