Overview
The summer school at Bahçeşehir University aims to introduce and examine the city of Istanbul with a special emphasis on the historical and cultural evolution Istanbul throughout the centuries. Situated on the Bosphorus Strait separating Europe from Asia, Istanbul has long been one of the world’s most fascinating and lively cities. Capital city of the Roman Empire in the fourth century, the Byzantine Empire until the fifteenth century, and the Ottoman Empire until early in the twentieth century, Istanbul is today home to many important cultural and historical sites.
Bahçeşehir University is a young and dynamic university located at the heart of Istanbul, which for centuries have hosted many civilizations and empires, and continues to be a city that creates its own history at the intersection where both continents meet. Turkish as a Second Language Program will provide you the opportunities to explore to the fullest the rich Turkish language education and journey to you in our campus and our vicinity; full of art, history, culture and other wonders. The campus encompasses the attributes of the east and the west, the modern and the traditional, the old and the new. Located directly on the European shores of the Bosphorus, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia , the campus encompasses the beauties of the city and the sea. Surrounded by a vibrant city life just out of the campus borders, Bahçeşehir University is not only a place for learning, teaching and research, but it provides a unique opportunity to unite people from diverse and contrasting backgrounds and perspectives in harmony and mutual understanding.
Program
The Turkish as a Second Language Program is conducted at two levels—elementary and lower intermediate. At each level, we will work on the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. We will discuss the common grammatical structures that are used in spoken and written Turkish. The students will progress from sentence to paragraph to text in written Turkish. They will learn how to use Turkish in the different kinds of communicative situations that they are likely to encounter. They will use the latest textbooks to gain the skills and confidence needed to use Turkish in every aspect of life: at work and in social situations. Pronunciation is also a major part of each lesson. We will test you on arrival to check your level and choose your class. Course sessions are interesting, lively and informative. Discussion is encouraged and students are given opportunities to use Turkish to express their opinions. They will also engage in role-plays, debates, skits and language games. Our native Turkish-speaking teachers will support the beginning student while challenging the most advanced. Our lessons are student-centered and our intention is that each and every student should feel their progress each and every lesson.
