The Turkish language trainings therefore present a significant opportunity to adult Syrians to build resilience, develop new jobs and livelihoods, contribute to economy and interact with their local neighbors.
The trainings will promote economic integration of Syrians above 18 years residing in Turkey and contribute to their social and cultural cohesion with their host communities as well. In this context, courses have been designed based on the four basic language skills identified in the European Language Portfolio - reading, listening, speaking and writing - in a manner to provide Syrians under Temporary Protection with the language skills they will need in order to support their participation in economic, social and cultural life. It is further aimed that 50 per cent of the trainees will be Syrian women. The objective is thereby to promote the participation of Syrian women in economic and social life,
as well.
Four every level, the trainings will be implemented as 3 hours for 3 days in a week for a term of 10 weeks, and deliver A1, A2 and B1 level Turkish language courses to Syrians aged 18 to 57 under Temporary Protection in Turkey. To that end,
special training contents have been prepared
that are appropriate for the new framework
programmes and take varying levels into account.
Under the Project, a “Blended Training” model, combining classroom and online learning programmes and Learning Management System have also been developed and commissioned for the first time in Turkey. The new system combines the content which trainees can remotely access through e-learning and the face-to-face classroom trainings at PECs.
