Courses
This is a five-year combined undergraduate and graduate program, which leads to a Masters
diploma in teacher education. It is composed of two consecutive parts.
The first seven semesters contain the undergraduate program given by the Department of English Language and Literature. The program helps students to achieve a mature understanding of themselves and the world, through a comprehensive and in-depth survey of major authors, literary works and movements in literature in English. The literature curriculum comprises the analysis and discussion of literary terms and movements, periods of English and American literature, major dramatists, novelists, and poets. Other courses focus on English language, speaking and writing English. The curriculum also includes courses on philosophy and the history of civilization. The whole program emphasizes critical thinking, communication skills and intellectual growth. Students learn to read critically, write clearly, and reason soundly.
The masters-without-thesis program, which follows the undergraduate program, is taken in the Graduate School of Education. It gives not only a Masters diploma but also qualified teacher status. It is designed to prepare well-qualified teachers for high schools in Turkey. It develops the skills and expertise required from teachers in modern classrooms. Students spend one day a week in partner schools, gaining practical experience of up-to-date approaches to teaching, followed by a block practice in a third school. The practical approach to the development of professional teachers is fully supported by the teacher education courses which emphasize student participation in problem solving, case studies, and developmental work.
