Program Profile |
The Foreign Languages School at Çağ University aims to equip students with the necessary English language skills to successfully follow their academic programs. Students who cannot document their English proficiency or fail to take/pass the English Proficiency Exam are required to take a mandatory English Preparatory course for one academic year. The English Proficiency Exam consists of four main sections: listening, reading, writing, and language use. Students who do not pass or do not take the exam are then subjected to a Level Determination Exam. This exam is designed to objectively assess the students' language levels. Based on the results, students are classified into three level groups: A1, A2, and B1, and continue their education in the Foreign Languages School according to the determined level. |

Assessment and Evaluation Methods |
The Foreign Languages School at Çağ University evaluates the requirements of the English Preparatory Unit based on the needs of the teaching staff and students. The primary goal of the program is to equip students with sufficient language skills to understand what they read and listen to, and to express themselves both in writing and orally. The English Preparatory Year is one academic year long, and assessment includes achievement tests, presentation projects, writing portfolios, and online assignments. The passing grade for the Foreign Languages School Preparatory Program is set at a minimum of 60 points, with at least 50 points required in the final exam. Students who do not achieve the passing grade at the end of the academic year will be considered unsuccessful, regardless of previous grades, and will take summer courses. Since the exit level of the Preparatory Program is B1+, the level of the final exam is also determined to be B1+. |
