Dear ACUPEP Students,
Welcome to Acıbadem University Preparatory English Program (ACUPEP).
Our mission in ACUPEP is to equip you with primarily linguistic and academic skills in English so that you can pursue your English-medium faculty courses with ease as well as communicate effectively. On top of that, we envision a successful ACUPEP graduate as an individual capable of using English listening, speaking, reading and writing language skills efficiently, thinking critically and creatively, who is a self-regulated learner with a passion for life-long learning, holding high values for academic integrity and fairness, personal and universal ethics, and respect for differences. To this end, ACUPEP courses have been designed to assist you in excelling in English language skills as well as 21st century communication and basic academic skills so that you can make a difference as Acıbadem University graduates nationwide and internationally. As you all have different academic backgrounds, study habits and English language skills, you will each go through a unique, challenging yet rewarding journey here, employing differentiated learning strategies. All the program lecturers are well equipped to assist you during your ACUPEP studies and are ready to provide you with the guidance and support both in and outside the classroom.
We will be more than happy to assist and guide you in exploring language and study skills and reflecting on your performance throughout your journey with us. We, as ACUPEP lecturers, wish you a very successful academic year and kindly request you to be fully committed to your courses here to ensure you will be competent users of English when you are eligible to start your freshman studies.
