Yabancılar İçin Türkçe- Turkish Language Course for Complete Beginners
Welcome to our Turkish language course. The course has been designed to help you learn Turkish at Al Level (see the next pages and the back cover for definition) in accordance with the language proficiency level introduced by the Council of Europe. Therefore the main objectives of the course are to help you learn Turkish: 0 as a complete beginner, 0 to live in Turkey for a few months, 0 to study at a Turkish University, O to learn some basic words and phrases for survival.
This introduction is in English, but the course materials are all in Turkish. We know your first language may not be English, so you will find your own way to support your learning of Turkish. You might use pictures and symbols, your first language, English or some other method. We have met many learners of Turkish over the years and we know people learn in different ways and at different speeds. We have done our best to make the materials flexible to meet your individual needs and interests.
We know you are a mature and successful student of your own subject and of other languages. We have worked hard to produce materials that fit your intelligence and language level. We shall give you plenty of opportunities to practise using the language you have learned.
You are coming to Turkey either to spend some time as a tourist or to study at a Turkish University as part of the Erasmus exchange programme. Therefore, in addition to the every day language necessary for survival, you also need to know about studying here, what the teachers and students will be like and so on.
During our course you will learn about daily life in Turkey as well as about the Turkish university environment. Each lesson has three parts: Something to say- asking or telling Something to learn- words and phrases Something to do- practice exercises You will use Turkish in our lessons from the start, mediated through English when necessary. We shall adjust our teaching to meet your personal needs and preferences, and we shall guide your learning using the knowledge we have built up over many years teaching foreign languages..
The course aims to be vocabulary-rich and grammar-light. Time is limited, so we want to maximize the words you know and can use. The audio materials have also been prepared with great care. We hope you enjoy the course.
