Turkish Language Instruction
Instructor: Erika H. Gilson
Princeton offers instruction in modern Turkish and Ottoman Turkish, its historical predecessor. Turkish can be the vehicle for future study of the Turks of Central Asia and the Caucasus, an area rapidly opening up to outsiders. In addition to a rich and varied literature, Turkish offers the student the opportunity to study from the inside the long and exhilarating history of the Turks in the Near East, from 1100 to the present.
All language skills are stressed. Authentic language is introduced early to instill familiarity and thus put the learner at ease. Multimedia learning aids and web-based activities - accessible in the dorms as well as in the language lab - form an essential part of the language course, and also offer opportunities to develop fluency to the self-motivated learner.
