UNIVERSITY PREPARATION TURKISH – Grade 12 elective (2 hours)
The main objective of this course is to teach students all the features of the Turkish language and prepare them for the YGS and LYS. This course will help students to further develop the habitual process of understanding, applying, comprehending, analyzing, and synthesizing. Since the Turkish language skills help students develop their understanding and interpretation skills, being successful in this course will affect their performance in language based courses. The skills related to accurately reading, understanding, and interpretating are important in finding correct answers no matter the subject area involved.
The course curriculum includes a review of the topics of the YGS Turkish syllabus which includes spelling, punctuation, phonetics, semantics, word structure, vocabulary, sentence structure, and sentence ordering. In addition to the YGS curriculum, this course will review basic literature and the writers and poets in both Turkish and world literature, topics which are included in the LYS exam.
The course begins with a thorough review of the entire Lise Turkish Language and Literature curriculum, followed by intensive question answer sessions, where students can ask about areas of concern.
Turkish is an important contributor to the overall YGS points, between 11-40%, therefore this course is strongly recommended for students who are taking the Turkish university entrance exam.
