Subject: GCSE Turkish
Why study this subject?
Undertaking Turkish GCSE will enhance your grades and
give you more opportunities post GCSE. This subject is
invitation only.
The possibility of gaining a good and well paid job is very
high; just English is not enough in the modern world.
A GCSE in Modern Languages has as its chief aim, the development of
language for effective communication.
The four skills areas on which teaching, learning and testing are based are
listening, speaking, reading and writing; these are given equal weighting and
emphasis.
Believing that for the best communication there must be a real understanding
of the foreign culture and environment, as well as the language, we want to
encourage a lively and positive approach, so that students will use their skills
practically in authentic situations. This will be supported by parallel
encouragement of traditional linguistic skills.
What qualifications will I get at the end of the course?
You will gain a GCSE in Turkish.
What can this qualification lead to afterwards?
GCSE Turkish can enhance your chances for a career in industry, commerce,
travel and tourism, design, fashion, amongst many others.
