The objective of the graduate programs in English Language Education (Ingiliz Dili Egitimi Lisansustu Programi) is to equip the students with advanced and specialized knowledge in the field and to help them acquire skills for research. A well-balanced emphasis on theory and application is maintained throughout the programs. It is hoped that graduates of the M.A. program will engage in teaching or research activities and develop adequate motivation for more advanced graduate work in the field, while those with a Ph.D. degree will choose to pursue academic careers at the universities. Both M.A and Ph.D. programs are carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Institute of Social Sciences.
MASTER OF ARTS PROGRAM
Students with a B.A. degree in English Language Education are normally eligible for admission to the M.A. program. However, students who have an undergraduate degree in English Language and Literature, Linguistics, Foreign Language Education or a related field as well as a Teaching Certificate or at least one-year experience in English Language Education may also be admitted. The M.A. program in English Language Education is a two-year program consisting of 24 credits of course work, followed by an M.A. thesis, its oral defense and a demonstration of the student's knowledge of the field as a whole. The successful completion of the program leads to the Master of Arts Degree in English Language Education (İngiliz Dili Eğitimi Yüksek Lisans Diploması).
