Teaching Philosophy:

My teaching approach champions a communicative methodology, emphasizing the development of practical communication skills through:

Comprehensible Input: Utilizing visuals, gestures, and clear language to introduce new vocabulary and grammar, ensuring a strong foundation for understanding spoken Turkish.

Task-Based Activities: Integrating role-playing, dialogues, and pair/group discussions into lessons from day one, encouraging students to actively apply language skills in simulated real-world scenarios.

Authentic Listening Materials: Exposing students to the natural flow and pronunciation of spoken Turkish through short audio clips from movies, TV shows, news reports, or even Turkish songs (carefully selected for level appropriateness).

Strategic Textbook Integration: Leveraging textbooks as a resource for grammar explanations and targeted exercises, while prioritizing the application of these structures and vocabulary for real-life communication practice.

This methodology fosters the development of well-rounded language abilities in all four domains (speaking, listening, reading, writing) with a strong emphasis on effective communication at all levels (A1 and beyond).
