Since its foundation, one of the Turkish Education Association's central aims has been for Turkish children to use at least one foreign language effectively.
By division
In primary school a significant part of the weekly timetable is devoted to English; basic communication skills and literacy develop in English in parallel with Turkish. In middle school academic English skills grow and preparation for Cambridge examinations begins. In high school the focus is on academic writing, presentation and debate.
Teacher development
Our language teachers attend in-service training organised by the Turkish Education Association in cooperation with Cambridge and Oxford, so that classroom practice stays current.
Language events
English drama, World Languages Day events, debating and presentation competitions run throughout the year. Our students use the language on stage and in daily life.
