ATATURK'S PRINCIPLES AND HISTORY OF TURKISH REVOLUTION

History tells us about change and transformation. It might be hard to realize this in the "history" you memorized so much in primary-middle-high school classes; but history shows us that the world we were born into is not our destiny. It gives us the good news that a new life can be established with the combination of different economic-social-cultural conditions, strong leadership, the right strategy and cooperation. We consider ourselves lucky, as we aimed in our lesson, we have the opportunity to closely monitor, scrutinize and discuss the great socio-cultural change created by a unique leader and his comrades, our grandparents whose strong leadership is an inspiration to the whole world,

We begin our lessons by examining the transformation that began in the world, in Europe. We examine the adventure of European societies to save themselves from semi-slave, to develop under the leadership of reason-science and to enslave societies that cannot keep up with them. Then, we follow the transformation efforts of the Ottoman intellectuals, bureaucrats and conscious administrators, who rebelled against this situation, in order to save the empire. Finally, we will examine the process of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades, who realized that a radical change is not possible with an outdated, outdated political-legal-social structure and its ruling classes, and that a new state should be built from scratch, in building a new world for us.

Finally, we will examine the process of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades, who realized that a radical change is not possible with an outdated, dilapidated political-legal-social structure and its ruling classes, and that a new state should be built from scratch, to build a new world for us. They will call us freedom or death or transformation or bondage. Together, we will see the hope, the struggle of a society for existence and freedom, its resistance, the will of people to direct their own lives with consciousness and action, and that it is always possible to build a new world.

Although history seems to examine the past, it actually examines the present and guides us for the future. We wish you all a fine academic year, with the hope that you, our young people, to whom we entrust our future, will examine the way they have come to today and establish the future as they wish.

TURKISH LANGUAGE

Dear Students, The Turkish language course is one of the common compulsory courses that started to be taught in universities after 1980, and it is a two-semester and two-hour course per week. In the first semester of the course, which has a 14-week program each semester, we will first think about the phenomenon of "language" and try to get to know and define "language" in its different aspects.

What is language? Is it just "a tool to convey our feelings and thoughts"? Of course not. You will surely be surprised to find out how many types and layers of language there are. It is known that there are between 3500 and 5000 languages spoken in the world today. What is the origin of these languages? Did all languages originate from a single source or are there different sources? What was the first language spoken on earth? Although the human mind has been searching for answers to these questions for centuries, there are still no clear answers.

After getting familiar with such language enigmas, we will learn how and according to what the languages of the world are classified, and we will determine what features and where our mother tongue Turkish stands in this classification. You all know that Turkish is an agglutinative language in the Ural-Altaic language family, but what does this mean? What does Turkish gain or lose from this? This question should also be considered.

A long adventure awaits in the following weeks. Starting from the Orkhon Inscriptions, which is considered to be the beginning of the Turkish written language, we will witness the transformation of Turkish until today and what socio-economic, cultural, political etc. we'll see what factors play a role. In this course, in which topics such as spelling rules, punctuation marks, and types of official correspondence will be discussed, we will also read interesting articles on language, stories from distinguished authors of Turkish literature, and make long and enjoyable evaluations.

In the second semester of our course, you will see that there is a more colorful content and current topics. What are the principles of effective and beautiful speaking? What should be considered when speaking in public? etc. we will give answers to the questions and have a lot of fun with the frequent expression disorders in Turkish and the communication problems they cause. Recognizing the types of oral expression such as conferences and symposiums, and the types of written expression such as short stories and novels and their basic features will be another goal of our course. I hope that no one will refer to the article as a "story" or a story as a "novel" anymore. I wish you a successful year in which you will learn a lot and have a lot of fun while learning.
