In today's globalized world, the importance of using multiple foreign languages proficiently, alongside effective communication skills, is well-recognized for achieving success.
As the Second Foreign Languages Department, our mission encompasses linguistic diversity and richness in this direction. We aim to encourage our students to learn a new language and enable them to discover the culture associated with that language. At the same time, we aim for them to become individuals sensitive to international cultures by respecting differences, to develop an interest in language learning, and to enhance their linguistic skills. Thus, we wish to support their development within a global citizenship perspective while enabling them to benefit from the advantages of being multilingual both now and in the future.
At TED Rönesans College, our students begin their second foreign language education in the 4th grade by choosing one of German, French, Spanish, or Russian, and they continue with their chosen language until the end of the 12th grade.
Our Second Foreign Language program is designed in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1-A2, B1-B2, C1-C2). The objective is for students to reach the A2 level defined within this program.
We aim for our students to comfortably read and write basic and intermediate texts and comprehend what they read, as well as to learn the language at a level where they can express themselves on both current topics and subjects of interest. We intend to improve our students' language skills and enable them to interact with different cultures through various national and international events and competitions.
Furthermore, opportunities are created for our students to take globally recognized exams such as DELF (French), DELE (Spanish), FIT (German), and TORFL (Russian).
Departmental Activities Through the Playback Video Clip Contest, which we have made traditional since the 2017-2018 Academic Year and is open across Turkey, we aim to increase our students' motivation in their foreign language learning processes.
