A Practical Persian Language Course Textbook Published for Higher Education Institutions

In this era of advanced science and education, the care for the younger generation has become a priority of state policy. In alignment with this, various educational and methodological initiatives are being implemented to train modern specialists, including proficient foreign language teachers. Among these initiatives, programs, manuals, and textbooks play a key role.

Today, the ability of the younger generation to effortlessly familiarize themselves with the achievements of global education and science and to practically apply them, along with mastering foreign languages, is one of the fundamental expectations of our esteemed President. This objective also aligns with the main goals of the language policy pursued in our country.

The Practical Persian Language Course textbook, published by the Turkmen State Publishing Service (authors: B. Atanyyazova, B. Akmammedova, R. Hojanyyazov), is intended for university students. Its primary goal is to teach spoken language through texts, providing theoretical information briefly and precisely only when necessary.

All materials in the book are divided into lessons based on thematic principles. Texts on specific topics of interest to students are carefully selected. These texts stand out for their general educational and instructional purposes. They aim to enrich the vocabulary of students learning Persian, enhance their speaking culture, develop their writing skills, and improve their grammatical understanding. The texts can be studied both during classes and independently. Exercises focus on translating texts related to Turkmen land, culture, and art into Persian, fostering a deeper engagement with the material. This approach is expected to positively influence students’ rapid comprehension of lessons.

The inclusion of a Persian-Turkmen glossary at the end of the book significantly enhances its value as a learning resource.

Designed for university students specializing in Persian as a professional language, the Practical Persian Language Course textbook will be instrumental in developing their speaking skills, translation abilities, and the application of grammatical and orthographic rules. It will also enrich their linguistic proficiency and deepen their understanding of the cultural and traditional features of the Persian-speaking world and their beloved homeland.
