Turkish Summer Program
Hosting Location: Turkey
Program Dates: mid- to late-June and ending in late July/early August
Class Hours: 120 hours
Accommodation: Host families
Academic program: The Turkish summer program offers students the opportunity to increase their Turkish language skills through intensive language classes and experiential learning opportunities. Classes are held Monday through Friday and focus on improving speaking, listening, reading and writing in Turkish. Host family stays provide participants with valuable opportunities for Turkish conversation and insight into Turkish culture. Cultural activities and excursions complement the formal language classes and give participants a deeper understanding of Turkish history, society, and culture.
Good to know: The Turkish language is remarkable for grammar concepts such as vowel harmony and six noun cases. Turkish uses the same alphabet as English but with six additional characters. During Ottoman times, Turkish was written in Arabic script. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the father of modern Turkey, initiated the use of the Latin alphabet.
Programs implemented by: AFS-USA and ACES.
