VKF Koç Private Kindergarten and Primary School

Language Sciences

Turkish

Koç School aims to cultivate students who are capable of strong communication, critical thinking, inquiry, and effective self-expression by enabling them to discover the richness of language in its primary instruction. Instilling a culture of reading at an early age and developing a habit of thinking through writing are integral parts of personality development.

Studies are conducted on vocabulary development, reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills with the aim of introducing students to words that are carriers of culture, enabling them to use language well, and developing their world of ideas.

As students discover their identities, they prepare for the complex language skills of the years ahead. Supported by interdisciplinary studies, the program also contributes to social-emotional learning and lays the foundations for a strong reading culture.

Students become familiar with distinguished and original children's literature from kindergarten onwards at all levels, learn the depths of the words they encounter while reading, and meet authors and expert guests in the field. Learning about the writing process of books nourishes students' imagination and helps each of them develop sensitivity on their way to becoming better readers and writers.

Different types of texts are examined in lessons with the aim of enriching written and oral expression. Students who question the accuracy of what they read are encouraged to learn ways to verify information through information literacy courses, enabling them to become lifelong learners and readers.

English

In The Koç School English program, English is taught as a second language starting in kindergarten, and students' English language skills are developed throughout the Primary School. The goal is to instill a love for English in students at an early age. The program is communication-based and thematic in approach. In addition to listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, structural and lexical knowledge of the language is also systematically developed over the years. Students are also encouraged to develop skills such as cooperation, responsibility, reflective learning, and independence.

The Koç School has received Cambridge International accreditation approved by the Ministry of National Education as of the 2023-2024 academic year. This program and approval provide the opportunity to teach up to 11 courses in English.

In addition to textbooks and storybooks that teach English as a Second Language (ESL), digital resources, original literary works, and various materials and activities prepared by teachers are also used to support differentiated instruction.

By the end of Grade 4, students feel comfortable and confident in an entirely English-language learning environment; they are enthusiastic about further developing their language skills in middle school. Additional support is also provided under the program for students who need it throughout the academic year.
