French Language and Literature

Hi everyone. I'm Fatma Kahramanoğlu. I am a Research Assistant in the Department of French Language and Literature at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University. Our department started providing education in the 2009-2010 academic year. Since the language of instruction of our department is French, students who do not have sufficient French language skills to follow the courses must take Basic French courses for a year in the preparatory class. At the undergraduate level, courses on French Language, Culture and Literature are offered, as well as Japanese, English and German courses as second foreign languages. We have a language workshop and library equipped with a smart board that provides audio and visual facilities for our department. Our department has erasmus agreements with various European countries, especially with France. Since 2019, approximately 50 students have benefited from the Erasmus program. In addition, our students can go to countries not included in the Erasmus program and study with the Mevlana exchange program. Well-trained and well-equipped students have the opportunity to work in academic institutions, ministries, in press and editorial related jobs, companies linked to foreign trade, tourism and cultural services and a wide range of business fields such as International Relations. French, which is spoken by 220 million people on 5 continents today; It is one of the official languages of numerous International organizations such as NATO, UNICEF, United Nations and the European Union. Knowing French opens the doors to many countries where French is an official language, especially France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Canada. If you want to learn at least 2 languages, particularly the French language, and learn about French culture and literature, you should choose Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Department of French Language and Literature.
