Turkish Immersion Saturday Academy at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
The Turkish Immersion Saturday Academy is a project taking place across four consecutive
Saturdays in May:
Saturday 7th May, 10:00 – 12:30
Saturday 14th May, 10:00 – 12:30
Saturday 21st May, 10:00 – 12:30
Saturday 28th May, 10:00 – 12:30
It is being offered to students who are Turkish speakers, in years 9 to 11, and who have been entered for GCSE
Turkish. Priority should be given to those who would be the first generation in their family to attend University, and who are taking exams this year.
Each weekly session will consist of two language lessons by a SOAS academic as well as a
chance to meet current SOAS students and find out more about higher education. Students will
also receive information about studying languages at universities as well as about other language
qualifications; and refreshments will be provided.
The aims of the project are to help prepare students for their GCSE Turkish examinations
(particularly by improving their written skills), to give these students the opportunity to experience
the university environment, and to raise the profile of world languages in general.
