This specification willhelp to prepare students for higher education and enhance their employability profile.Inspiring and engaging themes – our qualification features familiar and popular themes,as well as some new content that provides clear links to some of the most fundamental andinteresting aspects of the culture of Turkey and Cyprus.Popular literary texts and films – we offer a choice of literary texts and films that includescontemporary and more classic titles.Rewards creativity – our assessments place an emphasis on communication and grammar,as well as providing plenty of opportunities for students to apply their knowledgeindependently and creatively. Clear mark schemes encourage students to develop ideas, uselanguage to persuade and analyse, and give critical responses in their writing.Clear and coherent structure – our qualification has a straightforward structure with fourengaging themes: Türk toplumunda değişim; Türkiye ve Kıbrıs’ta Sanat ve Kültür; Türkiyeüzerinde görüşler; and Türkiye’de siyasal konular.The four themes are studied alongside two works (either two literary texts or one literarytext and one film) and are assessed through three externally-examined papers.Manageable content – we have worked closely with teachers and students to ensure thatour content is manageable and appropriate so that you and your students can be confidentthat you have enough time to cover what you need to at the appropriate depth.Continuous progression – our content builds on the understanding developed atKey Stage 4 and gives students the opportunity to learn and apply important transferableskills in critical thinking and analysis, enabling them to make a smooth transition to the nextlevel of study.
