Intensive Beginning Turkish I

6 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This is an intensive beginning language class based on the Elementary Turkish textbook by Kurtulu? Öztopçu, available from the Bookstore or on-line (www.oztopcu.com). Our aim will be to master basic communicative skills and the fundamentals of Turkish grammar. In the spring semester, we will work through the rest of the textbook, using various extra resources. Each student will be required to keep two separate composition notebooks according to fairly specific rules ('Ders Defteri' for exercises, 'Gramer Defteri' for grammar review – separate instructions will be provided). Students will have opportunities to practice their speaking skills with a native speaker TA.
