Youth Exchange Project

1.1 - Abstract Of The Project :

In every country, there is any foreign languages to be taught at the schools but we

know that is never enough to speak it well. The Foreign Language ( English) education

method in Turkey is not more about grammer. Most of the time, our education system

doesnt let our students speak English. It is mostly focused on writing or reading. We

know that if somebody wants to learn a foreign language for example English- s/he

must expose to speak it. But here in Turkey, the chance to speak a foreign language is

very low.

With this Project One Language is A Culture we aim to improve the speaking

skills in foreign language for the youngsters. We will choose a group of young

participants from local level ( Denizli ) for our training course. On the other hand, we

will choose 15 voluntary trainers from 15 countries from 5 different continents. Theese

15 voluntary trainers will lead the students in the speaking lessons.

Moreover, these trainers will stay at theirs students homes. By doing this, the

voluntary trainers will have the chance to explore Turkish traditions and culture by

feeling it and on the other hand the Turkish participants will improve their knowledgeabout the culture of the foreign trainers. Thats why we choosed the name of the Project

like this; A Language is A Culture.

At the same time you will find a lot of cultural visits, city tours, picnics,

competitions etc. While you are helping the students to improve their English language

skills , you will learn Turkish in our course programme. This Project is not only a

training course but also an intercultural meeting programme , a cultural learning

programme , a brotherhood Project

2.3 Weather in Denizli and special places :

Denizli is located in Aegean Region of Turkey, but the climate is not uniformly

Aegean throughout the whole province. A terrestrial climate may be felt in the center

of the province, because the area is like a pathway from the seaside to inland areas.

The inland area is cooler than the seaside because of these climatic differences. The

land is open to winds coming from the Aegean Sea because the mountains are

perpendicular to the sea. Winters are rainy or sometimes snowy, but generally mild.

The weather will be quiet hot in Denizli during the Project time, we guess But

you dont have to be worry about that, because we will especially enjoy the

afternoons

The most special place is Pamukkale in Denizli. You can kindly check this link for

further information about it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamukkale

Beside this, we will Show you other places to have some rest or some fun

You can find some information about Denizli in Google
