Our Ethos is based on the strong notion that a positive and inspiring working and learning environment, in which the well-being of both instructors and students are ensured, is key to effective learning and development of values that will contribute to humanity, namely
- Academic integrity and fairness,
- Personal and universal ethics,
- Respect for differences (e.g.alternative viewpoints, different cultures, gender, social class.), and
- Curiosity and desire to learn.
Our Mission is to equip our students with primarily linguistic and academic skills in English so that they can pursue their English-medium faculty courses with ease as well as communicate effectively. We also aim to empower our students to become critical and creative thinkers, self-regulated learners with a passion for life-long learning, and considerate individuals who hold high values for academic integrity and fairness, personal and universal ethics, and respect for differences.
Our Vision is to contribute to the university’s vision by
- reaching the level of professional competence and academic recognition at national and international levels;
- contributing to the scientific literature with research conducted by the instructors in our program either individually or in collaboration with colleagues or students;
- developing new ideas and innovative approaches to English language education;
- developing and offering both English language courses to the public and teacher training courses to prospective and newly graduate English teachers;
- publishing English Language Teaching textbooks; and
- organizing social responsibility projects that students and instructors can become a part of.
