EFL/EAP Positions for Local English Language Instructors
(PREP)
BİLKENT UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Bilkent University
School of English Language (BUSEL) has three main areas of activity:
providing a Preparatory Program to enable students to meet the
English language requirements for study in the different faculties
and schools of Bilkent University; providing credit bearing courses
in English for Academic Purposes to the same faculties and schools
(Faculty Academic English Program); and, offering an associate
degree in English and Translation Studies.
The BUSEL Preparatory Program
As English is the
medium of instruction at Bilkent University students are required to
have a good command of English before entering the freshman
programs. The BUSEL Preparatory Program aims to equip students with
the necessary English language and study skills for successful entry
to and study in their chosen faculties and schools. This means that
there is an emphasis on English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in the
Preparatory Program as a whole, which recognizes that students need
more than linguistic input in order to be successful in their
studies. Students are required to develop the ability to analyze
texts and information sources, as well as critical thinking skills
and awareness of their own learning styles and preferences.
The program is
intensive and demanding but a team of highly qualified teaching
staff ensures that students reach the required standards within the
shortest time possible. Many students come to the program with
little knowledge of English but at the end of a year of intensive
study are able to pass the benchmark examination (COPE).
EFL/EAP Positions for Qualified Local Language Instructors

Preparatory Program invites applications from motivated and
hardworking local language instructors who have a strong sense of
responsibility and are willing to work in a professional
environment. Teaching consists of up to 20 contact hours per week
and includes language and skills development, and EAP.
