What this course establishes

Scope boundaries

  2. Complete greeting, identity, and communication-repair performances
  3. Correct Turkish characters, suffix selection, spacing, agreement, meaning, and interaction errors in a final portfolio

Full self-paced route

  1. Alphabet, greetings, and address lesson with qualified-speaker audio
  2. Identity, location, language, and suffix lesson
  3. Requests, clarification, and confirmation lesson
  4. Interaction portfolio, feedback, revision, and final assessment
