Teacher In Turkish

Fri, 24 Jan 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Most Common Problems of Turkish Students While Learning English In the last years, English has become more and more popular worldwide. In most countries, children start learning a second language at an early age. Also in Turkey, the number of schools, universities and language centers where it is possible to learn English has increased significantly.

Fri, 08 Jul 2022 Najwa Sabih Destinations Alumni Experiences Who Your Students will be when Teaching English in Turkey Teaching English in Turkey can be challenging as this language is not very common here. Turkish people are very loyal to their country and language, so they consider it unimportant to learn a new language.

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Whys of the Inconveniences between an English Detective and a Turkish Dedektif Learning languages is for most of us, not an easy undertaking, mostly because it requires building new frameworks in our brains and lots of practice. Learning English as a second language is not an exception. By now, it's already well-known the importance of speaking English in a globalized world, and so even governments are making an effort to include it in their education plans. As an example, English is taught in both private and public schools throughout Turkey, but despite all these efforts and adjustments, not a lot of Turkish people can speak English beyond basic sentences and isolated words... so, what's happening?

There are many touristic sites and fascinating places that will mesmerize you with the beauty of this country. Though, living in Turkey can be challenging.
