Although foreign language teachers try to integrate the cultural dimension into their classes, this attempt is usually in the knowledge level and based on the coursebook that gives superficial information about different cultures. However, understanding the customs and practices of other cultures, having a critical look at one's own culture, and identifying the relation and discovering ways of managing interaction between/ among different cultures are the skills we expect an intercultural citizen to have. These are also the skills we, English language teachers in an EFL country, are responsible for developing in our learners as English is the global medium of any type of intercultural communication. This workshop aims to present a session that integrates interculturality into foreign language classroom taking Byram’s (1997) framework of teaching and assessing intercultural communicative competence (ICC).The short lesson sample in the workshop is designed for young adult learners studying in the tertiary level and used as a demo lesson with pre-service student teachers. During the workshop, authentic student-teacher responses will be shared to illustrate how teacher education and teacher training may have a snowball impact on the critical cultural awareness of both teachers and students by developing the skills to discover the unknown and to manage interaction for negotiation.

Kandemir, Anıl; Engin Demir, Cennet (2018-10-30)

In addition, recently there is a growing interest to learn Turkish by foreigners for various purposes, business, tourism and educational purposes. This study was designed as a case study which examines a current phenomenon in depth and within its real-life context, when the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clear (Yin, 2009).

Preparation for an international exchange program: a phenomenological analysis of prospective english language teachers’ lived and imagined experiences
Çiftçi, Emrullah Yasin; Karaman, Abdullah Cendel; Department of English Language Teaching (2016)
Since the Erasmus exchange program promises sociocultural experiences in different cross-cultural and educational contexts, it can contribute to the development of prospective English language teachers. However, participants’ preparation experiences and thought patterns prior to the program may influence the quality and outcomes of the sociocultural experiences abroad. This study, therefore, aimed to explore preparation experiences of three Turkish prospective English language teachers who chose to study in...
Understanding the localization of international norms: women’s human rights norms in Turkey
Özdemir Sarıgil, Burcu; Şenyuva, Özgehan; Department of International Relations (2018)
This study explores the norm localization dynamics and processes in order to better understand how international norms diffuse and take root in diverse local socio-cultural contexts. While the mainstream norm scholarship in International Relations has extensively studied the diffusion dynamics at the international and state levels, it has neglected the distinct dynamics of local contexts and the agency of local norm entrepreneurs in norm diffusion. However, localization is vital for norm diffusion because t...
English language teaching and language teacher education in Turkey- An Evolutionary Overview
Balbay, Seher (2021-10-01)
This study provides a much-needed socio-political perspective on language teaching in Turkey and identifies key influences and orthodoxies past and present and their impact on current practices of language learning. The researchers provide a refreshing critique of successive cycles of policies and how they have variously sought to secure starting with imperial, nationalist, and contemporary populist ambitions of language teaching in the classroom and beyond. Almost 150 years of such efforts have frequently ...
