Synopsis
The Languages Immersion week is a four day immersion language programme, and is being offered for two languages, Urdu and Turkish.
Each day, the programme will consist of language classes in the morning and group work in the afternoon. There will also be sessions exploring Pakistani and Turkish history, music, and business. For the group work, participants will be given a choice of project titles and work together with SOAS students to prepare a presentation in whatever format they chose. The presentation will be delivered on the last day. Students will also receive information about studying languages at universities as well as about other language qualifications.
The aims of the week are to give speakers of these languages the opportunity to develop their written skills, to raise the profile of world languages in general, and to provide young speakers of world languages the chance to explore cultural-political-historical topics related to Urdu and Turkish.
