becoming familiar with the Turkish alphabet for example, by identifying sounds of specific phonemes, such as ı, ö, ü, ç, ğ, ş
• recognising that Turkish is a phonetic language and is written as it sounds, and differentiating between 8 vowels and 21 consonant sounds of Turkish through imitation, repetition and experimentation
•
identifying vowels and consonants in 2-letter/3-letter/4-letter syllables, for example, ba, bak, bank
• developing pronunciation, phrasing, syllabification and intonation skills by singing, reciting and repeating words and phrases in context
•
noticing that different intonation patterns of sentences create different meanings, as in the distinction between questions, statements and exclamations, for example, Hava soğuk. Hava soğuk değil. Geliyor musun? Gelsene!
• recognising that the letters a, e, c, j,i are pronounced differently from English
• reading out loud to develop correct pronunciation, intonation, rhythm and stress

By the end of Year 2, students use Turkish language to interact and share information related to the classroom and themselves. They use cues to respond to questions and instructions, and use simple formulaic language. They locate and convey key items of information in texts, using non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They use familiar words and modelled language to create text. They copy letters and diacritic marks to make words. Students imitate the sounds and rhythms of spoken Turkish. They demonstrate understanding that Turkish has conventions and rules for non-verbal communication, pronunciation and writing. They give examples of similarities and differences between some features of Turkish and English. They understand that language is connected with culture, and notice how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
