AcademIc Views

Dilek ÇALGAN ( Bogazici University, Principal of  Department of Foreign Language Education )
Students who are accepted for Bogazici University are mandated to take English prep  classes provided they have not been able to demonstrate good level of English language skills. Those who has achieved the minimum required score determined  by senates of the university, from  a globally recognised and trusted exam such as IELTS may begin directly from first grade.

Naci KOÇ (Istanbul University, Principal of Department of Foreign Language Education)
In Istanbul Kultur University we test our students on four basic subjects such as listening, reading, writing and speaking, to determine their proficiency in English  language. Every year we have 20 of our students take IELTS exam to have a perception on how well we have done on our set targets. On this occasion we benefit from IELTS results for foreign language education and foreign language educational strategic planning to set our standards high and question our system for a much better quality.

Didem ÜNVER (Doğa Collage,Foreing Languages High school department head)
As Doga Collage, our main philosophy is to prepare students for their lives after high school by giving them the necessary knowledge, talent and competence that will illuminate their path. We wish to globally certify their English knowledge. Nationally and abroad, IELTS is the most valued exam by us which will assist our students to skip the preliminary class considering they will be attending English related lessons. We prepare and recommend our students to take IELTS.

Nilgün DEMİRKAYA (Bilfen High schools Foreign Languages Department Head)
IELTS is English language testing system for our students to proceed with their academic lives but at the same time it supports our student’s way of education, considering its written test format. Another important point about the exam is the high security level of conduct and professionalism. As a worldwide recognised exam, IELTS is my first preference to measure English language in every field and very deeply.

Özlem AYDIN ( TED Ankara collage English group head)
It is fact that IELTS provides exemption from English prep classes of universities, nationally and internationally but what makes IELTS more valuable for our students is the self-confidence it inflicts with the successful results. I wish all the success for my co-workers who have great effect on preparing students for IELTS and trying very hard for them to experience this great feeling of confidence.

Özdemir İÇİN (TEAG – Turkish Educational Agent Group – President)
Members of our organisation recommendIELTS to their students. For a fact IELTS has been pointed out by many institutions as the most successful language testing system. It proves its success clearly that in the last few years, along with Australian and Canadian universities, many universities in United States are also acknowledging IELTS results.

Eren GÖKER (UED – International Education Consultants Organisation Head)
Unfortunately many Test Centre’s in our country are deficient considering the technical structure and computer facilities. Our candidates go through serious problems especially on “Internet Based” exams. We have observed that our candidates demonstrate a better performance on IELTS type exams which are conducted in a classic way with pencil and paper.

Okulum Sabancı Üniversitesi’nin kendi uyguladığı hazırlık muafiyet sınavı olan ELAE’den geçerli seviyeye ulaşamadığım için IELTS sınavına hazırlandım. Sınavların sık aralıklarla gerçekleştirilmesi, başvuru işlemlerinin kolay olması ve en önemlisi kağıt-kalem ile uygulanması alternatifler arasında bu sınavı tercih etmeme sebep oldu. Bilgisayar ortamında gerçekleştirilen sınavlarda konsantrasyon problemi yaşadığım için başarıya ulaşamıyordum. IELTS’den 6.5 alarak bölümüme başlamaya hak kazandım.

Boğaziçi Üniversitesi hazırlık sınıfını geçip bölümüme başlayabilmek için IELTS’e girmeyi tercih ettim çünkü kağıt-kalem ile uygulanması bilgisayar ortamında yapılmasından çok daha mantıklı. Sonuçların hızlı açıklanması da kararımı etkilemişti tabi. Sistemli bir şekilde çalışarak 7.0 aldım ve bölümüme başladım.

Amerika’da yüksek lisans yapmak istiyordum ve IELTS’in de kabul edildiğini duymuştum. Bilgisayar ortamında yapılan sınavlara göre daha rahat olacağını düşünerek IELTS’e girdim, hedeflediğim okullara başvurdum ve cevaplarını bekliyorum. Yüksek lisans yapmasam bile çalıştığım bankadan dil tazminatı almak için IELTS işime yarayacak. Keşke hiçbir sınava girmesek ama zorunluluk durumunda IELTS’i öneririm.
