This undergraduate program is designed to train prospective English language teachers with strong pedagogical and linguistic foundations. The curriculum spans four years (240 ECTS credits) and covers essential subjects such as English language teaching methodology, linguistics, literature, and language acquisition, supported by a combination of theoretical studies and practical teaching experience. Students participate in practicum components, gaining hands-on classroom exposure in selected schools. The program also includes elective courses to enrich individual interests (such as French or German), aiming to develop adaptable educators who are qualified to teach English at various educational levels. Graduates are typically employed by the Ministry of Education, as English teachers in elementary and secondary schools, or work in private educational institutions and as translation professionals. The degree opens career opportunities not only in education but also in translation, linguistic consultancy, and academic research. The university emphasizes a balanced integration of Turkish and English throughout the curriculum, ensuring graduates are proficient in both language and pedagogy, and well-prepared for national and international contexts[1][3].
