Sezen Aydin
@sezenaydin
Multilingual educator and communication specialist with 5+ years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a multilingual educator and communication specialist with over five years of experience in designing inclusive language programs and supporting diverse learners, including refugees. My expertise lies in curriculum development, digital education, particularly in flipped learning, and cross-cultural communication. I am passionate about leveraging my language skills to foster integration and empowerment among students from various backgrounds.
In my recent role as an instructor at MEF University, I taught English to multicultural student groups, adapting materials to meet diverse learning needs. I developed and taught university-level English courses, focusing on composition, ESL, and presentation skills. Additionally, I have experience in trauma-informed teaching, having worked with Spanish students and refugee beneficiaries to enhance their practical communication skills for social integration.
My educational background includes a Master's in Foreign Language Education from Universitat Rovira I Virgili, where I am currently focusing on digital education and flipped learning in language classrooms. I have also completed training in International Humanitarian Law and Monitoring & Evaluation, which further enriches my understanding of the educational needs of vulnerable populations.
