Iran Konkur Languages study guide
Iran Konkur Languages · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Foreign Languages group of the Iranian university entrance exam (Konkur) is the route into degree programmes in English language and literature, translation studies, teaching English as a foreign language, and several modern-language departments at Iranian universities. It is aimed at secondary-school graduates who already read English with reasonable comfort and who want a language-centred degree rather than an engineering or medical one. The Iran Konkur Languages study guide has 6 sections and about 1,815 words.
