Both of them OK but first one is mre used/preferred. And there is a third one:

Senin İngiizcen iyi = Your English is good (compared to mine)

 

Türkçem kötü (bozuk/kırık) = my Turkish is poor

 My thoughts as a learner:

You can say İngilizcen iyi (note the dotted i at the start). I think would be the most popular way of saying this. (or less used is İngilizcen iyidir)

or Senin İngilizcen iyi (the ´senin´ is optional, but their must be an ´n´ after the İngilizce to indicated that it is ´your´ English.) Most native speakers would not use the ´senin´ part from my experience. It is only used for special emphasis from my understanding.

My Turkish is poor = My Turkish is bad = Türkçem kötü(dür) The part in brackets is not normally used.

Ahhh, not fast enough {#emotions_dlg.sad}. Thanks si++

Maybe sounds better to say " Türkçem az."
