English Teaching Program

I'm Mert Kiraz. I am a 3rd year student at Anadolu University, an English Language Teaching program. At the same time, I am the representative of our department. Our department was established in 1982 in order to train good teachers in the field. It is located in Yunus Emre Campus. The courses given in our department are divided into 3 areas. These are field courses, culture courses and vocational courses. While the field courses generally consist of courses such as Linguistics and Language Acquisition that provide English proficiency, faculty members prepare our vocational education courses. Culture courses consist of courses that we can improve ourselves in the fields we want. In our department, there is a computer laboratory where students can use and do their homework whenever they want. Internship application in our department takes place during the 4th grade, one day a week for two semesters. Our internships take place in high schools, middle schools and primary schools. After graduation, we can work in private and public schools. In addition, we can work in public institutions such as MIT (National Intelligence Organization) and National Agency that require English proficiency. I chose my department because I find the teaching profession enjoyable and because I think I can be successful in this profession. The reason I chose Anadolu University was because of the wide international opportunities it offers, the beautiful and spacious Yunus Emre Campus, and its experienced academic staff. After graduation, I want to specialize in my field by pursuing a master's and doctorate abroad. I recommend the candidates who will prefer our school and department to keep their grade point averages high, to benefit from school resources and to participate in school activities. I wish success to all candidates who will take the exam and I look forward to seeing them at Anadolu University.
