As the Department of Foreign Language Education, our primary aim is to ensure that English teacher candidates grasp the dignity of the profession they will practice. Our sole purpose is to make every effort to instill in our teacher candidates the point emphasized by our Chief Teacher when addressing the members of the Teachers' Union Congress on August 25, 1924, and to embed in the core of their professional lives the fact that the Republic expects from them "generations with liberated minds, liberated consciences, and liberated knowledge."

Education and teaching are conducted in the form of formal education. Additionally, in the 7th and 8th semesters, as part of the compulsory courses in the course plan, within the scope of Teaching Practice I and II courses, students conduct observation and practice sessions in schools (primary, middle, and high schools, either public or private) affiliated with the Ministry of National Education.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

• The YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education and training activities in higher education institutions.
• Annually, the University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports of higher education institutions, prepared in accordance with the criteria established by YÖK, are published. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are made available to the public by YÖK.

1. Creation and Approval of Curricula: The YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant 1.2. Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive an undergraduate diploma upon successful completion of course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK disseminates the "Institutional Feedback Report," which is prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions, to the public. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies that are authorized or recognized by YÖKAK indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications that are determined in accordance with the legislation.

22 Students who enroll in this program but fail to successfully complete the preparatory class within two (2) years will be dismissed from the program. Students who are dismissed from the program due to failure in the preparatory class can enroll in an equivalent program at their own higher education institution, provided that the medium of instruction is Turkish. However, if requested, these students can be centrally placed in Turkish-medium programs by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) for one time only, based on their exam scores from the year they enrolled, as long as their relevant score from the Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS) is not lower than the required base score for the program they are placed in.

24 A one-year mandatory Preparation Program is implemented in the language of instruction. At the end of the program, students who pass the proficiency exam in the relevant language are directly enrolled in the first year. The Preparation Class is not included in the years of instruction as shown in the curriculum. For the relevant language, students are admitted directly to the first year if they: a) Provide documentation of successful completion of a national and/or international foreign language exam at the level determined by the university, or b) Pass the proficiency exam in the relevant language conducted by the university at the beginning of the academic year.

Candidates who do not meet this requirement will not be able to choose the relevant program, and even if they have made preferences, their preferences will not be included in the placement process (including school valedictorian quotas).

151 Candidates who include this program in their first 5 preferences and are placed in this program will receive support from the Ministry of National Education in the form of a scholarship for the number of students indicated in the "MEB" column.
