What I'm looking for

I am Adem Sultan Turanlı, an accomplished educator with extensive experience in English language teaching and curriculum development.

My commitment to education is reflected in my ability to integrate theory and practice, ensuring that students are well-prepared for their teaching careers.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have taken on managerial roles, including Director of the Higher School of Foreign Languages and Head of the Department of Foreign Languages. These positions have allowed me to develop and evaluate programs, create teaching materials, and lead initiatives that enhance the educational experience for both students and faculty.
