Reading Turkish I

This course is an introduction to the structures of Turkish language necessary for reading. It is designed to develop reading competence in Turkish for graduate students (undergraduates should consult the instructor). Essential grammar, syntax points, vocabulary, and reading skills will be emphasized. The goal is to enable you to read Turkish at an advanced level in a relatively short period of time. It is not a traditional language course that takes an integrated four-skill approach; it focuses only on reading, and as a result we will be able to cover advanced material in a short amount of time.
