Turkish - Türkçe

The course introduces the use of the Turkish language over four semesters; participants learn to master linguistic communication in everyday situations. The main aim is to develop communicative competence both receptively (listening/reading comprehension) and productively (speaking/writing skills). In addition, a realistic picture of today's Turkey is to be conveyed through a contrastive presentation of everyday life.
The course content is adapted to the respective requirements of the participants. Depending on this, different teaching/learning materials and didactic media will be used.

For general information on enrolment and assessment, please read here.

Four levels are offered: Turkish I and III in the winter semester, Turkish II and IV in the summer semester.

"Career changers" who have already acquired previous knowledge of Turkish can consult the lecturer before choosing a course.

Learners with no previous knowledge choose course I / A1 / A1.1. Cross-entry to higher levels is possible: please use the global scale as a guide for self-assessment. If you have any questions, please contact the ZfS team(zfs@upb.de), who will forward your enquiry to the appropriate teacher if necessary.
