Turkish Preparatory Unit

Hello dear student friends, I am Gökhan DENIZ the director of the Turkish Preparatory unit at Istanbul 29 Mayıs University. I will shortly inform you on our unit. The Turkish Prep Unit is one of the preparatory which is attached to Istanbul 29 Mayıs University school of foreign languages. The unit has two essential duties. One of them is to detect the Turkish efficiency levels of students who wish to be placed in an undergraduate or graduate program at our university. Our second duty is to include these students to our Turkish preparatory unit and provide an undergraduate level Turkish. Our foreign friends are given 30 hours of classes at our Turkish prep unit. Our plan is separated as fall and spring terms. By dividing the terms into two we get a total of four quarter terms in our education program. 30 hours a week means 960 hours of class in a year. These classes are not only theoretical but also include out of class activities such as street interviews, in-class presentations, undergraduate class visits, cultural and historical trips. Our mission is not limited to teaching our foreign students Turkish but also teaching them about the Turkish culture and tradition, life style, history, literature, art and Turkish values in general. Dear foreign candidates, I hope for you to start your education by learning Turkish and to the fullest.
