Middle School Modern Foreign Languages is an important academic field that enables the education of multilingual and culturally aware individuals in today’s globalized world. Modern Foreign Languages not only teaches language skills but also aims to provide students with a cultural and social perspective, enabling them to communicate more effectively in a globalized world. Learning a foreign language is not only about being able to speak in another language, but also about understanding different cultures, developing thinking skills and enhancing career opportunities. Therefore, modern foreign languages are of great importance for students’ personal and professional development.
Koç School students choose one of French, German or Spanish as their foreign language of choice and continue to learn this language for seven years from Grade 5 to Grade 11. From Grade 7 onwards, additional preparatory work is included in the curriculum to help students prepare for international exams such as DELF (French), TELC (German) or DELE (Spanish). Our school helps students who wish to take these exams by providing them with the necessary information. The Modern Foreign Languages Department is proud of our students’ results in international exams.
All our teachers offer a variety of stimulating activities to help our students communicate effectively in a foreign language and to instill a love for the language. The department adopts differentiated education, which is the most effective approach to the individual development of students. After four years of studying French, German and Spanish in Middle School, students will be able to express themselves comfortably and accurately in a wide range of subjects. At this point, students can easily pass the language exam at A2.1 level. While introducing our students to the cultures of the countries where these languages are spoken, they are also encouraged to take a deeper look at their own cultures.
