English Language Teaching

Hello, I'm Berfin Nur Yağmurlugil. I am a 3rd year student in the Department of English Language Education at Inonu University. The aim of our department is to train qualified teachers who are skilled in accordance with the needs of the 21st century. If you come to our department, you need to receive preparatory training. The education period is 5 years with preparatory training and 4 years if you pass the preparatory training exam. In our department, there are courses in fields such as field knowledge, professional knowledge and general culture. The curriculum consists of courses such as Foreign Language Teaching, Language Acquisition and Linguistics. We have four main focuses in the 1st grade: Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening. For the next semesters we will focus on Linguistics and Language Skills. In our department, we have an office with English books and computers for the benefit of undergraduate and graduate students. In the 4th grade, we have the opportunity to find internship opportunities in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education (MEB) for two semesters. In addition, the graduates of our department can work in higher education institutions and work as translators. I chose the Department of English Language Education because English is a global language, and also because I like to learn and teach English. I chose Inonu University because it is one of the few major campuses in Turkey and also because of the social and cultural opportunities it provides to its students. In addition, the fact that our faculty has a long-established academic staff was one of my reasons for choosing. I want to pursue postgraduate programs and become an expert teacher in the field. I recommend students who will prefer our university to benefit from our expert teachers in the field and also to enjoy their student life by enjoying our green campus. It’s a privilege to be a part of İnönü University. We'd be happy to see you here.
