DISTANCE TURKISH LEARNING CENTER
Ankara University TÖMER, in collaboration with Mobilsoft (www.mobilsoft.com.tr), a Bilkent University Foundation company, set up www.turkish-center.com Internet portal - the most advanced distance Turkish learning center - to promote Turkish language and culture as well as to make them globally accessible.
Both ever-advancing and modern living conditions require that we should make use of our time efficiently. At a time when globalization gains more importance, the concept of time is the most basic determinant in our life. Technological advancements provide the most suitable ground for language learning, a very important element for communication. Today, people no longer need to attend an educational institution in order to learn a language.
It is possible to learn Turkish anywhere in the world at any time by means of the Distance Turkish Learning Center. Today it is possible to benefit from all language teaching programmes of Ankara University TÖMER via the Distance Turkish Learning Center.
www.turkish-center.com is the most advanced educational programme for the teaching of Turkish as a foreign language, designed under university supervision. The learner is free to organise time and pace of learning as he or she wishes, to learn Turkish at any location, and to communicate with teachers and other learners through e-mail and chat rooms.
Information on fees can be obtained from www.turkish-center/kur_bilgileri.asp .
The most important feature of the portal is that learners, once they have purchased a package, are not left to their own devices; they find that there is language material they can use on their own, there are teachers to consult about grammar and the use of the Turkish language, as well as technical staff to help solve any technical problem. Learners compositions are assessed by TÖMER Turkish teachers. At the end of each term, learners receive a document to prove their attendance. In addition, once they have completed a term, learners can attend tests in certain centres abroad and receive a certificate. Those who would like to complete their Turkish education and receive Ankara University TÖMER diploma, on the other hand, need to attend the diploma test in any one of TÖMER branches.
