Description
English Grammar I and II courses are offered to first-year university students of English Translation
and Interpreting. These courses will enable students to study both simple and complex syntactic
structures in English. At the end of these courses, the students are expected to develop an
awareness of syntactic structures in English and to translate the sentences from English into Turkish
(and vice versa) accurately and appropriately by adhering to the grammar rules.
Course Objectives
to recognize the functions and meanings of both simple and complex syntactic structures in
English.
to translate both simple and complex structures in English into Turkish (and vice versa) by
adhering to the grammar rules.
Course Conduct
Basic Behavior: Students must come to all lessons on time and prepared, with all pre-determined
course materials. No excuses will be accepted unless the student talks to the teacher about their
private situation if it is the case before the class. Each student is expected and encouraged to actively
participate in class activities. Last but not least, you are NOT allowed to use your electronic tools such
as cell phones, tablets, laptops, and whatever else they are, in class, even as a dictionary.
Academic Honesty: Students are expected to be honest in all their academic activities;
communication, assignments and exams. It is crucial that each student understand why and how
s/he should definitely avoid plagiarism.
Communication: Students can communicate with the instructor any time via e-mail. Otherwise,
I would rather you contact beforehand so that we can arrange an appointment for an in-person talk.
