Syllabus Plan
Whilst the module’s precise content may vary from year to year, it is envisaged that the syllabus will cover topics related to advanced Turkish language, including grammar, writing, reading, speaking, and translating.
Teaching varies between lectures and commentary on the main textbook, readings, translation, dictation from and discussion of Turkish texts. We do translation exercises collectively; regular vocabulary reviews; reading of poetic and prose texts. Students give presentations on grammatical issues or texts which they have studied or read independently. Students will study different types of texts, historical, literary, current affairs; will learn how to matter different styles of expression oral and written. Teaching will also include Turkish media (TV broadcasts, news, interview, documentaries, as well as music and songs).
