ACTIVITIES

TURKISH COURSE

Most of the Roman people who live in Yalova do not continue with their primary education. As they don’t know reading-writing they have difficulties in their daily life. For this reason, they need a Turkish course in order to get over their communication problems and successfully adapt themselvels to the society.

A 120-hour Turkish course was started on November,11 and finished on April,15. During the course, some lessons such as Reading and Writing, Basic Mathemetics and Living Skills are taught.

Certificates were given to the five attenders who finished the course successfully.


ENGLISH COURSE

There is a large number of foreign people who live in our district, Termal. Also, there are a lot of people who are just visitors. We want our people communicate with them easily, a Basic English course has been started by our centre. The course aims for our inhabitants to oevrcome the problems they may face and communicate with foreigners easily.

The course was planned to be last between the dates 16/02/2009 and 09/06/2009 as 132 hours.


ARABIAN COURSE


Most of the visitiors of Termal are Arabian people and all of them cannot speak English. For this reason, Arabian language gets more important for our people. Similar to English course, our centre opened a Basic Arabian course.


124-hour Arabian course started on May,6 2009 and will last until August,20 2009.

Wow, you have a lot of languages to learn. I can come down and teach them Norwegian... :-)

In Norway we give our participants the possibility of learning our language. Those who have not finished their primary school, can take this over a period of 1-3 years, depending what they have had before. Many have never had English, but it is very difficult for them both to learn our funny language and English at the same time.

In Norway many foreigners must have at least 250 hours of Norwegian to apply for citizenship. In addition they also must undertake 50 hours of social studies, that is learning about laws and regulations according to the Norwegian society.
People coming to Norway to work, have to pay these hours themselves, but they can also chose not to attend these courses. For others the Government will pay, so for them there's no cost at all. These are for example refugees, men/women married to a Norwegian and others married to other Norwegian citizens (who maybe before were refugees).
I look very much forward to going to Turkey, and I'm sure we have allot in common.
