A. FOREWORD: MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
B. YBU SCHOOL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES: MISSION AND ORGANISATION
MISSION
The primary objective of the School of Foreign Languages is to provide English language education to
its students, thus ensuring that the students use English effectively in their academic studies and
professional lives, in line with the quality requirements applied at international level for today's
foreign language education.
To that end, the aims and objectives related to "learning - teaching - assessment - evaluation", as
established within the "Common European Framework for Languages" are applied under the school
curriculum by a professional academic and administrative management.
Programs have been prepared, focusing primarily on general-purpose and academic English at the
preparatory school and secondarily, with a view to ensure continuity, on professional English that
fulfills the English requirements at undergraduate and post-graduate levels for the relevant faculties
and departments of Yıldırım Beyazıt University educating in English.
With the purpose of giving support in addition to the in-course educational activities through the
experienced and qualified academic staff of the School of Foreign Languages, an "independent
learning center" and a "teaching and learning center" equipped with the state- of-the-art education
technologies offer services to undergraduate and post-graduate students.
VISION
Our vision is to achieve overall quality in higher education with the help of its operative technical
infrastructure and competent academic staff, to integrate modern approaches, methods and techniques
in language learning with our objectives and purposes, to create always and easily accessible course
resources for our students and to become one of the schools with well-developed academic features.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
For any kind of learning to take place, the key point is the student and his desire to learn. When
someone is curious about some subject or has some important questions that he desperately wants to
answer, he will certainly find a way out using very creative strategies. In this regard, as facilitators of
students' learning process, here at SFL, our primary purpose is creating curiosity in them, and
arranging environments such that they allow discovery and creativity, through which students will be
motivated to take or produce language samples, work on them, question them, and play around them
in the ways they like. We believe, as students get more into this, they will devise their unique ways of
learning, determine their best methods, choose their priorities, and then proceed at their own pace, or
they will even modify our role as teachers based on their needs. They will become independent
learners who can do research and use technological tools or virtual environments to their benefit.
Accordingly, at SFL, to achieve this supportive and constructive environment that is conducive to
language learning, in framing our teaching practices aligned with our views of language and language
learning, we follow an eclectic language teaching methodology and derive ideas from a broad and
diverse range of sources. Our decisions are further reflected in our instructional design features:
In our school, use of multi-media classrooms to appeal to as many senses as possible while also
providing easy access to various online resources creates an inspiring and curiosity feeding setting and
helps to achieve supportive teacher-student and student-student relations. Teachers help students
develop positive attitudes towards learning and the subject matter itself, encouraging them to take the
responsibility of their own learning, reflect on their process, and work in cooperation with each other.
There is a strong presence of the teacher in terms of providing information and guidance when
necessary.
Lessons are tailored around real-world topics, which arouse interest and let students explore, discover,
and expand themselves as well as questioning their ways of thinking. Interesting themes give them a
basis for understanding and acquiring new language structures and patterns, language develops along
with cognition, social awareness, and language is used as well as talked about. Students are motivated
to include their own concerns, perceptions, values, and emotions into what they are doing via these
1
challenging but manageable activities so that they can personalize the whole process as well as
achieving a sense of success. These language and content activities, presented in an integrated
fashion, do not only include basic interpersonal language skills such as situational, daily exchanges
but also cognitive academic language skills such as problem-solving.
There are multiple sources of evaluation in SFL such as midterms, quizzes, portfolio tasks, and online
assignments, which focus on the student improvement over time. Students receive detailed individual
feedback on their work from their teachers as well as their peers and become aware of their strengths
and the points they need to improve. They are also encouraged to assess their own progress using
self-evaluation checklists.
SFL, incorporating broader engagement with language, aims to stimulate the intellectual (critical,
analytical, creative, intuitive, productive), communicative, and affective (sensibility to other human
realities as well as self-awareness) response of students, and help them make use of these gains in their
future life.
C. THE PREPARATORY PROGRAM
TEACHING UNITS/LEVELS
The seven teaching units/ levels in the program are named as Basic (A), Basic + (A+), Independent
(B), Independent + (B+), Upper (C), Upper + (C+) and Advanced (C++). In relation to the level
specifications of "Common European Framework (CEF)", which is the basis for the curriculum
formed by the international standards, these teaching units/levels can be defined as follows:
COURSES/AIMS OF THE COURSES
Basic (A)
This teaching unit is the lowest level of language use at which the student can communicate in a short
and simple way by asking and answering simple questions about familiar people, objects and places;
can listen and understand words and/or short sentences if people speak slowly and clearly; can read
and understand simple forms and short messages; can write short and simple sentences about familiar
topics such as themselves, their families, places they know etc.; can show limited control of simple
grammatical structures and has very basic repertoire of words and simple phrases on familiar topics.
Basic+ (A+)
This level reflects most of the features of waystage specification of CEF. At this level, a wide range of
descriptors reflecting social functions such as using polite forms of greeting, making and responding
to invitations or offers etc. appear. Thus, the student, at this level, can exchange ideas and information
on familiar topics in predictable everyday situations; listen and understand what is said clearly,
slowly, directly to them in simple everyday conversation; can identify general and specific
information in simpler written material such as short newspaper articles, brochures, letters, emails
etc.; can write short descriptions of people, places, processes and personal experiences in a unified and
coherent paragraph ; can use some simple structures correctly and has adequate vocabulary to conduct
everyday transactions about familiar situations.
Independent (B)
This level reflects a strong waystage performance together with a few features of Threshold
specification of CEF. The same features at Basic + (A+) continue to be present but the student is more
active and comfortable in simple and everyday conversation when compared to the previous level. At
this level, the student can manage simple, routine everyday tasks without too much effort because s/he
can use more grammatical structures accurately and has more extended vocabulary compared to the
previous level.
At this level, the student can also perform a few of the goals of Threshold specification such as
listening and understanding the main points in discussions, conversations and interviews; reading and
understanding the main points in straightforward factual texts on subjects of personal and professional
interest. Actually, the student can start, maintain and close simple face to face conversations,
discussions and interviews on topics that are familiar or of personal interest.
Independent + (B+)
This level reflects most features of the Threshold specification of CEF and can be defined by two main
features; the ability to maintain interaction and get across what they aim at in a variety of contexts and
the ability to cope with common problems in life such as dealing with less routine situations on public
transport and entering unprepared into conversations on familiar topics. In brief, the student at this
level can follow in outline straightforward short talks, presentations and conversations on familiar
topics provided these are delivered in clearly articulated standard speech; can maintain a conversation
on topics that are familiar or of personal interest and can help to keep it going by expressing and
responding to suggestions, opinions, attitudes, advice, feelings; can read with more independently by
using dictionaries and other reference sources when necessary; can write papers developing their
argument with appropriate highlighting of significant points and relevant supporting details.
Upper (C)
This level represents a strong Threshold performance. The two features of B+ continue to be present
with the addition of more descriptors. At this level, the student can understand in detail what is told to
2
him in conversations; can follow the essentials of lectures and other forms of academic or professional
presentations; can read and understand with a large degree of independence and can obtain
information from highly specialized sources within his/her field; can give clear and systematically
developed presentations; can write essays and reports which develop arguments systematically in a
coherent and unified way. In fact, the student at this level can show relatively a high degree of
grammatical control and has a sufficient range of vocabulary to give clear descriptions.
Upper + (C+)
This level includes a few features of Vantage level specifications. The focus on argument present at
Independent + (B+) continues, this time with an emphasis on social discourse. Hence, the student can
understand the spoken language even in noisy environment; communicate spontaneously and fluently
so s/he can interact with native speakers comfortably. The other emphasis at this level is on language
awareness as the student can correct their own mistakes if they led to misunderstanding or correct
slips and errors if s/he is aware of them. As for reading, the student at this level, can understand not
only articles in their area but also specialized articles outside their own field if they occasionally check
with a dictionary.
Upper ++ (C++)
This level involves some features of Vantage level specifications. The emphasis on argument,
effective social discourse and language awareness present at C+ continues. In addition, the student at
this level can understand recordings in standard dialect likely to be encountered in social, academic
and professional life; can read and understand specialized articles outside his/her field of study
provided that he/she uses a dictionary to confirm his/her interpretation of terminology; can scan
through long and complex texts, locating relevant ideas; can write clear and detailed descriptions of
events and experiences by following established conventions of the genre concerned; can
communicate spontaneously often showing remarkable fluency and ease of expression; has good
grammatical control and wide range of vocabulary use but may experience difficulty with low
frequency words.
CURRICULUM PRINCIPLES
The aforementioned descriptors regarding each level reveal that there is a spiral curriculum
implemented at School of Foreign Languages (SFL) at Yıldırım Beyazıt University (YBU), meaning
that the goals and objectives of the previous and/or lower levels are repeated at each level and new
goals and objectives relevant for the natural process of language learning are added.
There is a learner centered curriculum implemented at SFL at YBU. This means that during the design
and implementation of the curriculum the learners' needs and interests are taken into account. In the
light of this view, the learning styles and strategies are considered. Together with this, the students are
encouraged to show the qualities of an autonomous and/or independent learner. To promote these,
there is an Independent Learning Center (ILC) established within the school.
There are some of the elements of the social constructivist curriculum. Thus, this curriculum enables
students to survive in both academic and real life situations. This is achieved through sustaining a
collaborative learning environment.
The curriculum at SFL at YBU is to provide its students with English language education in accord
with the quality conditions applied at an international level. The specifications of this curriculum are
based on the ones presented at "Common European Framework(CEF)"
Size of Classes
The classrooms consist of approximately 20-25 students

Assessment in General Exam (AGE). Those who get 69,5 out of 100 start their departments.
Those who get below 69,5 are placed at the suitable level.
During each period, the students are assessed through: two midterms, three quizzes, portfolio tasks
and online homework. The percentages of each assessment procedure are as follows:
> Midterm 1: 24 %
> Midterm 2: 40 %
> Portfolio Tasks: 13 %
> Online Homework: 8 %
> Quizzes: 15 %
At each level, the students are expected to get at least 59,5 grade point average to move on to the
next level.
Those who get below 59,5 grade point average repeat the level that they are studying.
The contents of the midterms and quizzes are in the attached file.
The portfolio tasks include the writing and speaking assignments related to each level. The writing
tasks are written twice as first draft and final draft. The students are expected to correct their
mistakes in the first draft by making use of the correction codes provided by the instructors (these
codes are in the attached file) and write the final draft. Each draft of each writing task is graded by
the instructors.
At the end of the first semester and second semester, the students who get 79,5 grade point average
at level B, 59,5 grade point average at level B+ and who are at level C, C+ and C++ have the right
to take the AGE.
Those who get 69,5 points in AGE can move on to their departments. For those who get between
4
59,5 and 69, their cumulative grade point averages are considered. 50 % of their cumulative grade
point average and 50 % of their AGE score are added. If it is at least 69,5, they can move on to
their departments.
• The grading procedures and the rubrics are in the attached files (All the rubrics are in the
appendix)
Evaluation
There are two types of program evaluation conducted at SFL at YBU; formative evaluation and
summative evaluation
Formative Evaluation
It is carried out through
• weekly level meetings where the instructors teaching at the same level come together and discuss
the strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum, syllabi, teaching process and the assessment
procedures such as midterms, quizzes, portfolios, online homework etc. They also discuss the
problems resulting from the classroom environment and students and make suggestions to
improve the teaching-learning process. These meetings are led by the level coordinators who take
notes on the issues discussed and convey them to whom they may concern. The necessary changes
are made during the process.
• meetings that are held at the end of each four periods. During these meetings, the period is
evaluated by all the instructors and administrators. Although the similar issues discussed at
the level meetings are considered, these meetings are more comprehensive. What is
significant about these meetings is that the issues related to the upcoming period are
determined and the necessary precautions are taken.
• classroom observations done by the professional development and support unit PDS). The
related people observe the classrooms (instructors, students, classroom atmosphere etc.) and
reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of that specific course observed. By using the
comments of the PDS unit, the instructors improve their teaching-learning practices during the
process.
• classroom reflections by which the instructors can have the chance to evaluate their
teaching-learning practices through the guidance provided by the PDS unit.
Summative Evaluation
It is carried out through
•
•
•
the surveys conducted with the instructors. The teachers fill in forms about the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The administration also sends questionnaires designed
considering the issues discussed in the aforementioned forms via survey monkey.
the surveys carried out with the students. They are asked to fill in questionnaires including
various questions about the program and the instructors. These questionnaires are posted on
the internet.

F. STAFF DEVELOPMENT Professional
Development & Support
Teaching is a vocation in that it promotes personal autonomy and personal significance for the teacher.
Teacher education does not end with a certificate, diploma or degree, but is an ongoing process during
ones teaching career which develops the teacher and leads to institutional improvement. It is a personal
process based on experience and self -discovery.
We believe training is about supporting others in their professional development through observations,
workshops, collaboration, and classroom based inquiry; respecting teachers experiential knowledge,
styles and beliefs via reflection by raising teachers awareness of teaching procedures ( both in theory and
in practice ) in a supportive, involving and collaborative environment. (adapted from Eken)
We do this by having an exploratory mindset:
What happened? What is useful? What can I learn? What works? What doesn't? Why?
What are the possibilities?
What can we learn from our experience in the classroom? How can we best maximize
learning? Exploratory/reflective learning Observe the classroom What changes can we
make?
Approach
Teachers should be strategic thinkers who develop, select, and adapt tasks which are appropriate in terms
of goals, inputs, activities, roles and difficulties (Nunan) and work out alternatives that suit their
environment. It is what teachers do in the classroom to achieve objectives by designing and using
appropriate classroom techniques to maximize learning.
As a result, we promote the following from our teachers:
To observe their teaching acts
To interpret what happens in the classroom
To evaluate outcomes
To identify puzzles and find solutions
To act autonomously and collaboratively
To be innovative
We do this via a post method approach in order for teachers to produce their own specific classroom
techniques to maximize learning.
Effective Teaching
The aim of teaching is to promote optimal conditions for learning to take place in a specified
amount of time. We believe that effective teaching plays a pivotal role in improving the quality of
learning. To help achieve this goal, we will be using effective teaching criteria for developmental and
reflective purposes. Effective teaching is supported by:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Collaboration/developmental meetings
Individual consultation
Observations
Teaching portfolio
Student feedback
Workshops/guest speakers
Classroom based research.
Conference Attendance
1. Collaboration/developmental meetings
Teachers share their experiences in developmental meetings in which teachers describe and
discuss successful tools, materials and techniques that they use. By sharing ideas, teachers use the notion
of loop input incorporating innovation to their classrooms and seeing what works best for them.
2. Individual consultations
The professional development and support officer is always available for individual chats with
teachers on any matter they may be concerned about involving the classroom. At certain times, it may be
recognized that a teacher may need extra development. In such cases, an individual action plan will be
made for that teacher to support them in their development.
3. Observations
Observation for research and development is an ongoing process based on direct observation of
the classroom environment. It is a cyclical process consisting of 3 steps. A pre observation consultation
where the general and specific goals of the classroom visit are established, the class profile is discussed
and the lesson is outlined; the observation itself where a running commentary system will be used , and
the post observation for reflection, feedback and suggestions based on the exploratory mindset ( see part
2 ). The effective teaching criteria will be used in all stages of the observation cycle.
It is the goal of the institution to implement a peer observation cycle. Teachers will be given
training into what peer observation is and the expectations and outcomes as a result of peer observations.
Teachers will thus have 1 official and one peer observation per year.
4. Teaching Portfolio
The portfolio will allow teachers to reflect on a particular classroom for an 8 week period. It will
explore teachers' beliefs, classroom practice and is taken as a demonstration of your ability to perform as
a creative, reflective and effective practitioner. It will also act as a precursor to classroom based research.
It is envisaged that such a portfolio would be done every three years for teachers to revisit their
philosophy. In the years between portfolios, teachers shall fill in a self-evaluation form which discusses
their achievements during the academic year and discuss these with line management.
5. Student feedback
Student feedback may be collected every 8 week cycle. The feedback will guide any future workshops,
provide data for developmental meetings, individual consultations and classroom based exploratory
research.
6. In Service Training
If a particular need arises, workshops may be scheduled. We will also endeavor to have guest
speakers conduct workshops in collaboration with the professional development and support coordinator.
Teachers are encouraged to speak to the coordinator to arrange workshops on subjects that are of interest
to them. Workshops that promote best classroom practice will be promoted.
In addition to workshops (based on Teacher interest) the following will be encouraged among teachers:
Community service initiatives, discussions/lectures outside the field of ELT, mini conferences based on
what individual teachers have done (attend conferences, MA, Phds), special interest groups (SIGS), and
personal development initiatives.
7. Classroom based exploratory research.
It is a goal of the institution to encourage teachers to undertake exploratory based classroom research in
order to investigate puzzles in their classrooms. The goal of which is to have a better understanding of
their students and adapting lessons based on the findings to create more effective teaching. Once
completed, the professional development and support coordinator shall endeavor to get the research
published and teachers can present their findings to their peers.
8. Conference Attendance.
At the beginning and during the academic year, a list of both national and international conference will be
distributed to all teachers. It is hoped the institution will allow the following:
a. If a teacher is willing to pay, they may attend as many conferences as they wish
b. in the future, it is hoped the institution may pay for 1 conference nationally every year for 1
teacher to attend and pay the costs for that teacher. The same can be true for international conferences if
the teacher is presenting.
Poor Performance
Two scenarios for poor performance are as follows:
A. When a majority of a class complains about a teacher, interviews shall be conducted with both the
students and teacher to ascertain the underlying issues regarding the complaint. Once the issues have been
determined, a plan of action shall be implemented with goals to achieve in a certain time frame.
B. If a teacher's time management skills regarding teaching hours, feedback or procedural duties hinder
learning or another teacher's duties and responsibilities, the Deputy Director shall seek recourse with
the teacher involved.
Induction
All new instructors entering YBU shall receive an orientation program to familiarize them with the
YBU community. It is recommended that the induction program be conducted over 2.5 full days OR 5
half days. The orientation is divided into 4 components:
1. The Practical: A series of sessions that familiarizes new teachers with the school and aids in the
settling in process.
2. The People: Introduces new teachers to the "who is who" of YBU and their duties. These sessions
will also familiarize new teachers with the student and level profiles of the school.
3. The Units: Sessions will show what each unit does. A particular focus will be on the Testing Unit to
show new teachers the exam formats and procedures to follow during exams.
4. The Systems: The sessions here will focus on all the procedures to follow for non- teaching duties.

II.3. SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE FOR OUR STUDENTS
The mission of improving our students in all respects - socially, mentally, physically as well as
academically- endows our instructors with great responsibilities. In this regard, it is crucial that our
instructors are well-informed about all the services and opportunities our students offered in our
university and guide them accordingly. Below our instructors can find detailed information regarding all
the services and opportunities our students offered in our university.
Independent Learning Center (ILC)
Independent Learning is an approach to learning where individuals take responsibility for their own self
improvement outside the classroom. The Independent Learning Centre, which is located in the 3rd floor
in the main building in YBU Etlik Campus, is a place for students to improve their English language skills
through self-directed study. It provides access to a wide range of materials.
It has three parts: two computer rooms which are seperated by the library. In the two Computer Rooms,
our students can use the computers on which a lot of practice materials for English are uploaded to
improve their grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing and listening skills.
The library between the two computer rooms, on the other hand, has many course books, practice sources,
dictionaries, audios and stage books that our students can borrow to practise their grammar, vocabulary,
reading, speaking and listening skills outside the school. In the ILC, there is also an academic counselor
who helps students organize their studies, gives them advices about effective study techniques in the
process of learning English and gives feedback on the writings of them.
What is best about ILC, however, is that students can attend some learning and practice activities held
there on a weekly basis. These activities include debates, film and discussion sessions, presentations and
so on. The schedule of the activities for each month is announced on the door of the centre.
Our instructors are required to inform the students in their classes or any other student requesting to be
informed regarding the opportunities and services offered in ILC and to encourage them to make use of
the center effectively. For this purpose, the first thing they need to do is taking their students to ILC on the
date and time notified to them at the very first few weeks of the academic year and, in this way, giving
their students the chance to get informed about the center in a detailed way.
Library
The Library, which is the most significant support unit for research and education, addresses the
information needs of its users in a central point in the main building of YBU Etlik Campus from 8:30 to
17:30 every weekday. Our students are provided with some books about their departments or novels and
story books in our library and are allowed to borrow any three books except for the dictionaries they want
at one time for 15 days. Any student who needs to keep any material from the library longer than 15 days
needs to renew the due date to be able to keep it for another 15 days. Any late return of a long loan
material, however, incurs a 50 Kr fine per day.
Those students who want or need to make use of the library of any other university in Ankara can do so
upon filling in a request form which will be approved by the librarian. Those students who want to reach
the catalogue in our library from a computer outside any campus need to fill in a request form that they
can get from http://ybu.edu.tr/bilgiislem/custom_page-318-formlar-ve-klavuzlar.html. For further
information, you can contact IT department.
Extracurricular Activities
YBU offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities as a complement to the academic formation of its
students. Extracurricular activities are divided into three groups: sports, cultural, educational and fun.
Sports extracurricular activities include basketball, football, volleyball, table tennis, billiard and chess
matches and tournaments among regular classes or school teams of YBU and other universities.
Cultural extracurricular activities include seminars or lectures related to the current issues in politics,
education, science, health through which our students get the chance to improve their culture by listening
to and asking questions to some professionals who are all experts in their fields and get certificates. The
seminars or lectures organized by social clubs in YBU and including personal development seminars,
career seminars, sign language training lectures, speed reading training lectures are held in the
Conference Room in the main school building in YBU Etlik Campus.
Educational extracurricular activities include communicative activities in English and watching some
well-known films in English for the students of YBU foreign languages school which are both held in ILC
(Independent Learning Centre) which is in the main school building in YBU Etlik Campus.
Fun extracurricular activities are basically spring festivals which are held in the second or third week of
May every year and include various concerts, competitions among students and instructors, debates in
English and so on. What is best about the spring festival is that during the festival a lot of stands are
opened in YBU Etlik Campus and some of these stands are allocated for our foreign students so that they
will introduce their cultural food and items with our Turkish students.
Sports Facilities
There is a sports center in Etlik Campus, where our students can improve themselves physically, socially
and mentally by taking part in various sports activities. These sports activities are mainly basketball and
volleyball matches which are organized either by the students themselves, social clubs or YBU Youth and
Sports Club.
YBU Sports Center is also a well-equipped facility where basketball and volleyball tournaments are
held on a regular basis both among regular classes at school and among teams of YBU and other
universities.
YBU has its own basketball and volleyball teams for different age groups and these teams represent the
university in the tournaments organized by UNI-League successfully. If any of our students who are
new at university would like to be a part of these teams, they should fill in the "Sportsman Identification
Form" while they are on campus for registering in our university.
There are also outdoor sports fields, mainly volleyball and basketball courts, in Etlik Campus, which are
available to the use of all students who want to spend their free time doing sports. These are open to
students 7 days a week.
It is also possible that some football matches and tournaments are arranged on football pitches rented by
Health, Culture and Sports Department among our university students and staff. Amongst the sports
activities available in Etlik Campus are also table tennis and billiard. Table tennis and billiard
tournaments are held among volunteering students every year. Also for those students who want to
practice and improve their mental skills, it is possible to play chess in the main school building in Etlik
Campus.
Social Clubs
Our students can be a member of various social clubs offered based on their interests and capabilities
and can improve themselves personally and socially by taking active role in the process of arranging
some social activities for the other club members or all the university students and participating in the
activities arranged by their clubs. Those students who are new at university can visit the stands open in
Etlik Campus throughout the orientation program at the first week of the school year and get further
information about different clubs. To be able to become a member of a social club, it is again necessary
to visit these stands or contact the club heads. The school clubs and their heads are as follows:

The list of social clubs shared above is renewed every year and some new social clubs may be added on
it. When a group of our students come together with the idea of establishing a new social club, they have
to find themselves a guidance counselor instructor. Our instructors, when a group of students see
themselves with such a request, should visit Health, Culture, Sports Departments and request to be
informed about the responsibilities such a task will bring to them first.
Accommodation Services
As the capital and the second largest city in Turkey, Ankara offers a great many of state and private
dormitories addressing the needs and expectations of all university students coming from different cities
and countries and providing students with the comfort of their homes. YBU students can meet their
accommodation needs in one of these well-equipped dormitories in Ankara that they could find on their
own until the dormitories of our own university are open to the service of our students in the main
campus in Çubuk.
Students who still have not arranged a place to stay when they come to YBU Etlik Campus for
registration issues can visit the stands opened by different dormitories and find the one most appealing to
them and get a room in it.
Food Services
In all campuses of YBU, our students are offered f table d'hote lunch, which is served from 12:00 to
13:30, and table d'hote dinner, which is served from 16:00 to 17:30, in the dining halls every weekday .
The table d'hote menu served at one time is composed of the soup of the day, one main dish, salads and

Health Service
As currently there is no medical centre in any campus of YBU, students benefiting from the health
insurance of their parents or having their own health insurance, should receive health service in one of the
state or private hospitals in Ankara. However, when the construction of the main campus in Çubuk is
completed, our students will have the access to a high-quality health service in their own campus.

• Embracing the opportunities to engage students as partners in their higher education, our Unit
aims to provide support and services for disabled students across the University through
necessary measures and arrangements so as to facilitate their educational lives and social
participation. Before, after and during the lessons, in order for disabled students not to be affected
negatively because of their disability and to eradicate the problems that they might face to
enhance their learning and to maintain equal opportunities, precautions to be followed are below:
• Behaving according to the legislative regulations and making and applying suitable adaptations
for disabled students.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of the adaptations constantly and improving these adaptations.
• Considering the right of privacy of the students, not sharing any relevant information about the
disability of the student except for YBU Disabled unit.
• Making a written statement about the main objectives, exams, evaluation criteria, including
relevant dates of these exams.
• Preparing reading lists and lecture notes and before the relevant topic, making them available
sharing them with the students online.
• Taking necessary precautions related to exams, assignments and evaluation criteria which are
determined about teaching and evaluating at the beginning of the period, and to some changes
which are not determined in advance.
• Supplying the students who are unable to complete the assignments and exams because of their
disability with additional time.
• Subsidizing the students who need to help about using tape recorder and taking notes because of
their disability contacting YBU Disabled unit or/and relevant faculties and head of the
departments.
• Making necessary seating arrangements for disabled students to enhance their learning and
applying those arrangements.
• For students who have Asperger's syndrome, talking in a clear manner avoiding abstract notions,

APPENDIX A: POST METHOD PEDAGOGY
Beyond Methods: Macrostrategies for Language Teaching- (Kumaravadivelu, 2003)
There has been a shift from method-based pedagogy to post method pedagogy because of
the limitations of method-based pedagogy. Dissatisfaction with method
1. There are eleven methods and they overlap. Sometimes, what appears to be a radically new
method is a variant of existing methods presented with "the new terminology that camouflages their
fundamental similarity."
2. In fact, even the authors of the two textbooks on methods widely used in the United States were
uneasy about the efficacy of the Richards and Rodgers (1986).
3. Methods are based on idealized concepts and contexts. They don't provide situation- specific
suggestions to teachers. Method is a top-down exercise and they are guided by a one- size-fits-all
approach.
4. The term method diminished rather than enhanced our understanding of language teaching"
(Pennycook, 1989) "language teaching might be better understood and better executed if the
concept of method were not to exist at all".
5. Teachers and teacher educators have expressed their dissatisfaction with method in different
ways.
• teachers who are trained in and even swear by a particular method do not conform to it.
• teachers who claim to follow the same method often use different classroom procedures that are
not consistent with the adopted method,
• teachers who claim to follow different methods often use same classroom procedures, and
• over time, teachers develop and follow activities which are not associated with any established
method.
6. Methods (prescriptions for practice) were really very limited in that they dealt only with the first
lessons of mainly lower level courses.
Post method condition
Post method has three interrelated attributes. Post method is a search for an alternative to
method rather than an alternative method.
1. While alternative methods are products of top-down processes, alternatives to method are
products of bottom-up processes. Post method enables teachers to construct personal theories of
practice.
2. Method overlooks the experience which the teachers already have as students.
3. Principled pragmatism: Unlike eclecticism, principled pragmatism focuses on how classroom
learning can be shaped and reshaped by teachers as a result of self-observation, self-analysis, and
self-evaluation. To follow principled pragmatism teachers should develop "plausibility"
(Prabhu, 1990). Teachers' plausibility is their "subjective understanding of the teaching they do".
36
Three paramaters of post method (Kumaravadivelu, 2003)
• The parameter of particularity facilitates the improvement of a context-sensitive, locationspecific pedagogy.
• The parameter of practicality encourages teachers to theorize from their practice and to practice
what they theorize.
• The parameter of possibility is derived mainly from the works of critical pedagogists. It aims at
eliminating inequalities among the participants and ensure a peaceful and just learning
environment.
The post method teacher is autonomous. They build and implement their own theory of
practice considering the particularities, practicality and possibility of their educational contexts.
They do so through teacher research. It involves keeping one's eyes, ears, and mind open in the
classroom to see what works and what does not, with what group(s) of learners, and for what reason,
and assessing what changes are necessary to make instruction achieve its desired goals. Teachers
can conduct research by using questionnaires, surveys, and interviews to make needs analysis;
observe, analyze, and evaluate their own teaching acts by using a suitable classroom observation
framework
Macrostrategic framework
The macrostrategic framework for language teaching consists of macrostrategies and
microstrategies. A macrostrategy is a general guideline based on which teachers will be able to
generate their own situation-specific, need-based microstrategies or classroom techniques. The
suggested macrostrategies and the contextual microstrategies can assist and guide L2 teachers as
they construct their own theory of practice.
Macrostrategies may be considered theory-neutral and method-neutral. Theory-neutral does
not mean atheoretical. It means that the framework is not constrained by any one particular theory.
Likewise, method-neutral does not mean methodless. The macrostrategies are:
• Maximize learning opportunities
• Facilitate negotiated interaction
• Promote learner autonomy
• Contextualize linguistic input
• Integrate language skills
• Raise cultural consciousness
Post method requires each teacher to create their own microstrategies based on these
macrostrategies considering their own teaching context.
Toward a Post Method Pedagogy-(Kumaravadivelu, 2001) Actualizing post method pedagogy
The post method learner
The post method learner is an autonomous learner.
a. academic autonomy: is related to learning. Learning becomes autonomous when learners are
able to take charge of their own learning.
stretch their strategies and styles e.g. if some learners are global they might develop their analytic
skills assess their own learning reaching out for opportunities beyond what they get in the classroom
through library resources and learning centers.
b. social autonomy: Unlike academic autonomy, which is intrapersonal, social autonomy is
interpersonal and it is learners' ability and willingness to function effectively as cooperative
members of a classroom and interact.
c.
d. liberatory autonomy: resist discrimination based on race or religion, class or color, gender or
sexual orientation.
Teachers can promote meaningful liberatory autonomy in the language classroom by asking
learners to write diaries or journal entries about who they are and how they relate to the social
world, and reflect on their observations.
The post method teacher
The post method teacher is autonomous. They build and implement their own theory of
practice considering the particularities, practicality and possibility of their educational contexts.
They do so through teacher research. It involves keeping one's eyes, ears, and mind open in the
classroom to see what works and what does not, with what group(s) of learners, and for what reason,
37
and assessing what changes are necessary to make instruction achieve its desired goals. Teachers
can conduct research by using questionnaires, surveys, and interviews to make needs analysis
observe, analyze, and evaluate their own teaching acts by using a suitable classroom observation
framework
The post method teacher trainer
Top-down approach, teacher educators offer teachers suggestions on the best way to teach.
A post method teacher education program must realize the importance of recognizing teachers'
voices and visions and the necessity of developing their critical capabilities, and achieving both of
these through a dialogic construction of meaning. They should help student teachers recognize, the
inequalities built into the current teacher education programs and in their future classes. They
should encourage teachers to think critically so that they will ultimately derive their own personal
theory of practice.
Post method practitioners as pedagogic explorers
Concerns about objectivity and generalizability: Pedagogic explorers may not have
adequate research skills and therefore their research projects may not be reliable, valid, or
generalizable. In fact, philosophers of science argue that there is no absolute objectivity even in
scientific research. The question of generalizability becomes problematic only if it is approached in
its traditional sense but it is inappropriate to talk about generalizability in the context of a post
method pedagogy. The reason for this is that in a post method pedagogy any exploration is context
specific. Research ability can be gained through a formal teacher education program or through
self-study, by collaborating with more experienced colleagues. Post method imposes an
extraordinary degree of responsibility on the teacher.
Method and Post Method: Are They Really So Incompatible?-(Bell, 2003) The post method
killing of methods
Some scholars say that methods are dead. On the other hand, some scholars think that
methods remain and they are descriptions of what teachers do in classrooms. Block argues that
while method has been discredited at an etic level (that is, in the thinking of scholars) it certainly
retains a great deal of importance at the grassroots, emic level (that is, it is still part of the
nomenclature of lay people and teachers).So, whether post methodologists like it or not, methods
have not gone away because the practices they describe sound like methods.
Post methodologists argue that methods can never be realized in their purest form in the
classroom because methods are not derived from classroom practice. However, supporters of
methods ascribe the failure to realize methods to a lack of understanding of their basic qualities. At
the same time, L2 teaching professionals know that what is realized as method in the classroom
emerges over time as a result of the interaction among the teacher, the students, and the materials
and activities. Method is socially constructed.
A further dismissive argument against methods is that nobody is interested in them today.
However, scholars who have closely studied methods find that core philosophies still play a
fundamental role in the classroom. It is not hard to find in the principles and strategies of post
method theories the very core elements of the 1970s designer methods.
Just as proponents of designer methods often doubted whether teachers left to their own
devices would teach systematically or not, post methodologists fear teachers will slavishly follow
whatever method they have been trained in. Both underestimate the intellectual autonomy and
capacity of the practitioner.
Brown (2000) is also a post methodologist. He says "the profession has reached maturity where we
recognize the complexity of language learners in multiple worldwide contexts demands an eclectic
blend of tasks, each tailored for a particular group of learners studying for particular purposes in a
given amount of time."
Bell, 2003: Post methodology is one further search for method, certainly an alternative to
method, prescriptions for practice, but at the same time an alternative method.so, methods are not
dead. Post method does not imply the end of methods but rather an understanding of the limitations
of method and a desire to transcend those limitations.
Post method and CLT
The paradigm shift: from positivism to post positivism and from behaviorism to cognitivism.
Although the paradigm shift in L2 education began many years ago, it still has been only partially
implemented. Post method pedagogy can therefore be seen as both an attempt to understand the
paradigm shift that L2 education has gone through in the past 40 years and an attempt to unify
practices in a more holistic way. Post methodology, therefore, rather than going beyond method,
may be understood as a synthesis of various methods under the umbrella of CLT. What is new
about post method is it contains: learner autonomy, context sensitivity, teacher/student
reflection—to construct and deconstruct the method from the procedures.
