The Modern Foreign Languages Department at Koç School offers an inclusive and enriching learning environment aligned with the Ministry of National Education’s Maarif Model. Our program aims to develop students’ ability to understand and use a foreign language while also helping them explore the cultures of French-, German-, and Spanish-speaking countries.

Our department is composed of a collaborative, innovative team of teachers with diverse international experience. Lessons are taught through a variety of activities designed to strengthen listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills, using student-centered instructional approaches. Throughout this process, students naturally develop the holistic competencies highlighted in the Maarif Model, such as creativity, communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and intercultural awareness.

Grammar—an essential component of accurate and effective communication—is taught in a structured and consistent manner. By offering opportunities for both collaborative and independent learning, we aim to make language acquisition enjoyable, meaningful, and sustainable.

Our learning environment welcomes the contributions of students with different strengths, embraces a culture of high expectations, and is grounded in cooperation and mutual respect. Through group work, discussions, drama activities, and guided thinking processes, students are encouraged to connect language learning with real-life contexts.
