Abstract

In this study, preparation school students’ Instagram shares who are studying in Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University preparatory classes were examined from the perspective of cultural interaction. Shares covering an eight-month period were discussed in the study. These posts are analyzed in four categories. These categories are categorized as Spatial, Clothing, Linguistic and close friendships. The content analysis book of Nuri Bilgen was used while creating these categories. The shares of the subjects within the specified months were examined within this framework. It has been tried to reveal how individuals are exposed to cultural interaction in the determined categories. The reason why Instagram application is preferred in this process is that it is the most used social media platform of generation Z. When we look at the results of the research, it is seen that most of the posts are made by female students. Individuals mainly shared spatial shares. The posts they made in the city, in the university and the places they visited were examined in this category. In the second place comes the sharing of close friends with different cultures among themselves. This draws attention in terms of the reflections of cultural interaction. The languages they have just started to learn are clearly reflected in their sharing. The sharing of clothing and apparel seems to be at the lowest level. This is an indication that the students have not yet adapted to the clothing features of the cultures they interact with.
