Osman Ozdemir, visiting scholar, will offer his insights on teaching English language and Turkish language education. This presentation will explore how language learning (both English and Turkish) happens in the context of Turkey and will share recent developments in English language education within global settings.
Ozdemir will first explore aspects of Turkish culture and Turkish language education with an emphasis on recent developments. This presentation will include brief coverage of historical background, centralized education, test-based evaluation, and impact of immigration on language teaching. In line with this purpose, the past, present, and future of both Turkish and English teaching as a foreign language in Turkey will be analyzed.
\Those who are interested in Turkey and Turkish culture, teaching English abroad, or teaching in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, or the Middle East are welcome to attend.
