2nd SFL EPS Workshop Fest

On the 29th June, Friday we held our 2nd SFL EPS Workshop Fest. The Director of the School of Foreign Languages at Yaşar University, Engin Ayvaz started off the day with his plenary on Deconstructing the Accreditation Process; the  Yaşar University CEA Case.  Engin gave background information on CEA and then shared the Yaşar University experience.

Dindy Drury - Speaking? If only they would! If only they could!

Grant Kempton, from Izmir Economy University,  was our final plenary speaker of the day. This entertaining plenary - In Search of Excellence - according to the Tao of Phooey -  brought back childhood memories of Hong Kong Phooey. In the classroom do we want to be 'ordinary' like Sarge, Rosemary or Penry? Or do we want to stand out and be a 'Hong Kong Phooey' type character with the WOW factor? Thanks to Pearson and Saydam Berberoglu for sponsoring this plenary. 

The day ended with a cocktail, raffle and certificate ceremony for the British Council Online Learning Technologies Course Participants. Congrats to our 14 successful participants and a very proud moment, for both Ayse Ozverir and myself, the course moderators. Well done everyone!!!
