Turkish Courses for Business in Sheffield

All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Turkish Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Turkish speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience. Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Turkish teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Turkish teacher before they commence their Turkish lessons.

If you have only studied languages before at school you will find that teaching approaches to modern language training have changed enormously in recent years - it's now a lot more fun and a far more rewarding experience! Your teacher will conduct your Turkish lesson in Sheffield almost entirely in Turkish - a method known as the Communicative Approach - and you will find yourself making progress from the very first lesson and soon growing in the confidence to communicate in Turkish in a variety of social and business situations.

Our Turkish courses are usually offered by our clients as 1:1 training for their employees. Group sessions, however, are also available and can be excellent value for money. Planning is required so that participants all meet at the same time each week, and we recommend that numbers are kept to 6 or less. 1:1 Turkish lessons at Sheffield mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

Turkish Course Management

Each of SIMON & SIMON’s Turkish languages courses is the responsibility of a multi-lingual, very experienced Account Manager. When you start your Turkish course, you will receive your trainer’s profile. Thereafter we will send you a Course Plan, materials for the course and, after each 40 hours of training, a Progress Report. Our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, will also reach you, and contains a prize draw as well as the weblinks of language learning resources.

SIMON & SIMON Turkish language courses have been arranged for clients in various locations. We have a global network of trainers and wherever you are, we will be able to organise a Turkish language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our Turkish courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange Turkish training sessions for you in your home. Full-time Turkish courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Sheffield Turkish Course Schedules

Our Turkish language courses in Sheffield take place throughout the year. Many of our students try to attend more than one weekly lesson if work commitments allow, and most will attend at least one session of 90-minutes duration per week. If you would like a Weekend Course, one can be arranged. Our Turkish daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive Turkish language courses on clients’ premises or in residential centres both in the UK and abroad. These courses run for 30 hours of the week, 6 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

The Turkish language course that you undertake will be customised for your Turkish level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you Turkish level. You may have little or no experience of Turkish and only want basic conversational skills or you may be more proficient and desire more fluency with which to discuss business. You may want to raise your Turkish skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our Turkish language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised Turkish course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

Turkish Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for Turkish examinations, whether for business or personal qualification. We believe that our 95% pass rate for language examinations is a reflection of our policy of working with Turkish teachers in Sheffield who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of Turkish examinations, along with the issuing of results certificates are all provided by SIMON & SIMON.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

Sheffield is a city and metropolitan borough of South Yorkshire, England. Its name derives from the River Sheaf, which runs through the city. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the city has grown from its largely industrial roots to encompass a wider economic base. The population of the City of Sheffield is 534,500 (2008 est.) and it is one of the eight largest regional English cities that make up the English Core Cities Group. During the 19th century, Sheffield gained an international reputation for steel production. Many innovations were developed locally, including crucible and stainless steel, fuelling an almost tenfold increase in the population during the Industrial Revolution. Sheffield received its municipal charter in 1893, officially becoming the City of Sheffield. International competition in iron and steel caused a decline in traditional local industries during the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with the collapse of coal mining in the area. The 21st century has seen extensive redevelopment in Sheffield along with other British cities. Sheffield's gross value added (GVA) has increased by 60% since 1997, standing at £9.2 billion in 2007. The economy has experienced steady growth averaging around 5% annually, greater than that of the broader region of Yorkshire and the Humber.
