In recent years, speaking a foreign language has not been regarded as an exception but a prerequisite. In the fast paced worlds of academia and business, educating bright engineers equipped with global language skills is the essence of our teaching policy. BTU SFL prepares students for goal-oriented English contexts. With this in mind, our School not only focuses on English for General Purposes but also English courses based on the needs of our students, faculties and business spheres.

‘’Lesson objectives and student outcomes matter in our dynamic system!’’

Practicing in English is an excellence at BTU

Why an average class size of 14 students?Practicing is the cornerstone of language learning. Therefore, it is crucial to provide learners with a student-centered classroom environment. In order to promote classroom participation, BTU SFL aims to make their students autonomous learners through the use of pair work activities, group projects and oral & written presentations in an interactive atmosphere.

‘’BTU SFL analyzes students’ language learning needs and business sectors’ expectations!’’

“BTU SFL makes a difference with class sizes of 14 students!”

Why native speakers of English?

BTU SFL instructors are professionals with MA and PhD degrees in the field of foreign language teaching. Our school also works with foreign instructors who encourage students to practice English within and outside the classroom. BTU SFL students enjoy mastering English with the guidance of highly qualified teaching staff.

Why a language teaching system based on needs? BTU SFL develops its curri-culum based on the needs analysis that investigates learning needs, students’ wants and business sector’s expectations. Course syllabi and course materials are or-ganized around learning out-comes. In this way, students are able to learn the langu-age they enjoy and what is needed for their professional careers.

BTU SFL adopts a modular system consisting of 4 quar-ters. Each quarter covers an independent language pro-ficiency level from A1 to B2 with a duration of 8 weeks. Students are taught English for 30 weekly hours focusing on all language skills—spea-king, listening, reading and writing— by four different instructors.

‘’BTU SFL always seeks the best together with professional Turkish and Foreign instructors!”
