From The Head Of Foreign Languages Unit

In today's global community and in the increasingly competitive conditions of the 21st century, becoming proficient in a foreign language other than English has become a necessity. In today's conditions, it is undeniable that learning a foreign language plays an important role in pursuing new developments and in attaining a richer perspective. Moreover, to make a difference and to keep up with global trends of the era, besides effective English communication, knowing a second foreign language is crucial in cultural and social areas as well as in working life. Being fully aware of these facts, Doğuş University offers a wide variety of second foreign language courses including German and Chinese as university elective courses in order to give students the opportunity to stand out in their professional lives. Students can choose one of these languages in order to develop their language skills throughout their time at university and beyond. These second foreign language courses target written and oral communication and are offered in all departments at all levels. They follow a student-centred approach and are conducted with the use of language teaching techniques and methods that are based on effective communication and classroom interaction.
