Turkish Courses

Kilis TÖMER offers Turkish courses in line with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) to international students admitted to our University and to anyone who wishes to learn Turkish. Courses are run under the Kilis TÖMER Teaching and Examination Directive (in Turkish).

Levels and Duration

A level lasts about 6 weeks with 6 lesson hours every weekday. The Yunus Emre Institute’s Yedi İklim Turkish textbook series is used. The starting level of new learners is determined by the Turkish Proficiency Exam or a placement test.

Registration

• Applications are made through the online Application Form.
• For final registration, the receipt showing payment of the course fee (Bank Details) and the registration form are submitted to the TÖMER office.
• Course fees are set each year by the Centre’s Board of Directors and announced. Under the directive, discounts may apply to University students, staff and group applications.

Attendance and Success

• At least 80% attendance is compulsory; learners below this rate may not sit the level completion exam.
• At the end of each level a Level Completion Exam covering reading, listening, writing and speaking is held. To move up a level, learners need at least 50 in each skill and an average of at least 60.
• Learners scoring below 50 in one skill get a second exam; those who fail again, or who score below 50 in two skills, repeat the level.
• Successful learners receive a certificate showing the level completed; others receive a certificate of attendance.
