The Faculty Academic English Program (FAE) provides English support courses to students in their faculties and schools. The courses offered by the FAE units range from content-based, academic skills courses in the freshman year to graduate writing courses for MA and PhD students. In providing academic skills support to a wide range of students in diverse faculties, instructors in the FAE program work cooperatively to design meaningful courses which emphasise high standards of academic writing achievement through challenging materials, active classroom learning, individual tutorial support and extensive feedback on student products. In addition, in order to meet the needs of specific departments, instructors often work closely with faculty staff.
The current organisation of the post-preparatory programs in Bilkent University was established in January 2003 after the teaming up and merging of the First Year English Program with post-preparatory programs in BUSEL. There are currently five FAE units, each with approximately 15 teachers responsible to a Head, grouped according to the faculties or schools which they serve.
This site contains links to the various units which make up FAE, and resources for students and teachers.
