Mission and Vision

Mission

The primary aim of the English Language Teaching undergraduate program is to make teacher candidates understand the dignity of their profession. Our sole aim is to make an effort at the highest level for our teacher candidates to place the points emphasized by our Head Teacher while addressing the members of the Teachers' Union Congress on August 25, 1924 at the core of their professional lives, and to internalize the fact that the Republic expects "generations with free ideas, free conscience, and knowledge" from them. Our teacher candidates, who understand how critical is the community that they will be a member of for the socieity to stay as a whole, will represent us in different environments as individuals who are aware of the importance of the concept of interdisciplinarity, equipped with the necessary equipment of the era, successfully integrating field expertise with teaching professional knowledge, thinking critically, approaching problems with a solution-oriented approach, producing alternatives, open to development and maintaining their commitment to basic values at all costs.
