Course Objective

The aim of the course is to raise awareness about the usage of different structures in both English and Turkish by comparing and contrasting them, and thus to help students use both languages accurately and consciously. The structural analysis and translation is done at sentence level with emphasis given to the context, as well. Students receive a great amount of input on grammar and they are expected to practise the translation of grammatical structures.
