Description

Justification

Theme English literacy and Cultural Understanding

Target Audience High School and High School Students (from 12 to 18 years old)1

Working in High Schools in Turkey, the project aims to develop English Skills and Cultural Understanding in High School Students through interactive presentations, discussions and activities related to themes connected with Turkey's Real Social Issues.

Even though English education is included in the national education system, according to

researches, the English Level of Turkey is considered as low proficiency in the global scenario

and one of the lowest between the European countries.

Also according to the Annual European Report, Human Rights, Democracy and

Discrimination based on color, gender, religion and minorities are top issues in the country

for its social development, which prevents the country to be accepted among the European

Zone.
