Exams

The Yunus Emre Institute is developing examinations for use in Turkish language courses at its Cultural Centres. These examinations, prepared by Turkish language teachers at the Cultural Centres in accordance with the proficiency descriptions set out in the ‘Common European Framework of Reference for Languages’, are finalised for use following evaluation by relevant experts at the Centre for Assessment, Evaluation and Accreditation.

Mid-term and course (certificate) exams consist of reading, listening, writing and speaking sections, with equal emphasis placed on all four skills. No formal certification is issued for the results of mid-term exams, which are conducted during term breaks to monitor and assess the learning process. However, learners who pass the course (certificate) exams held at the end of the course are awarded a Turkish language certificate indicating their language level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2).
