FOAI-13 Booklet DECEMBER 2019 FORUM ON ASSESSMENT ISSUES FOAI-13 ITEM WRITING IV: INTEGRATED SKILLS ASSESSMENT DECEMBER 13th-14th, 2019 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE FOAI ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE Mehtap İnce Esin Çağlayan Berna Akpınar Arslan Dear Participants, We would like to welcome you to the 13th FOAI event at Beykent University. We hope that this event will serve as a platform through which the needs of the participants are met by getting into the depth of the principles of integrated skills assessment. For FOAI events, it always seems to be that the more participants put into it, the more they get out of it. To this end, we would like you to fill out assessment practice forms by the due date and reflect on your own practices related to the theme of the event. We wish you inspirational one and a half days and hope that you all go back to your institutions with many new ideas to experiment with for the improvement of your assessment practices. If you have not visited the website yet, please do so at https://foaionline.wordpress.com/. There you can find all the documents relating to all of the previous events. Please also feel free to post comments, questions and suggestions about FOAI or any assessment issues on the website or email us at [email protected]. We hope to continue to welcome you or other representatives from your institutions in the future. However, we still get many people who tell us that they have not heard of FOAI; hopefully, you will all help us spread the word about these events to your contacts in Testing Teams in other universities. We would like to thank Beykent University for hosting us and we are grateful to the host team for their smooth and efficient organization.

The forum aims to take a hands-on approach to the practical issues related to assessment work, with a view to complement the formal presentation of papers or workshops to be found at other professional events such as conferences, seminars, and workshops. Although the forum was initiated by Sabancı University School of Languages, it has become a regular event, hosted by different institutions. AIMS OF THE FORUM The forum was set up specifically for representatives from the assessment teams of a range of foundation/preparatory programs in English medium universities in Turkey. The forum aims to provide an opportunity for different state, foundation and private universities within the Turkish context to come together in order to: ▪ discuss issues concerning the design, development, and administration of low and high stakes exams; ▪ share practices, experiences, ideas, and challenges faced relevant to testing, evaluation, and assessment related issues from diverse contexts; ▪ increase awareness of the activities and approaches to assessment and evaluation of learning in other programs; ▪ build relationships and links between the assessment teams in different institutions; ▪ exchange ideas on how members can cooperate in order to improve testing and assessment practices in their institutions.

  • About Issa Turkey
    ABOUT ISSA TURKEY Education In Turkey 1 2 www.issa.org.tr ABOUT ISSA TURKEY PREFACE The foremost indicator of the internationalization of the universities around the world includes the number of the foreign students they teach, and the countries from which these come. Furthermore, every youth would like to study in a university giving the best education at international standards. Seeking after knowledge at the best and farthest institution has been a common rule throughout history. Throughout history, particularly in the Islam culture, many scholars had gone to various realms cradling science and wisdom, and been taught far away from their countries. Having risen in the last century, the number of students worldwide has reached above 5 million worldwide. Besides, this has become a major service sector for all countries in socio-cultural and economical terms, having reached to an annual economical volume of $ 100 billion. Anatolia has been a center of education and science thanks to the scientist it has brought up, its history, its nature, and its geopolitical location at the intersection of three continents. Today, Turkey, too, is an educational center in its territory with its nearly 200 universities, and more than 100 hundred thousand students coming from 95 counties. Students prefer Turkey due to the particular reasons mentioned below. Turkey is a modern Muslim country being governed by Republican regime. Turkey is a country with a thriving economy, alongside its historical, climatic, and natural beauties. Turkish universities accommodate all departments in Turkey with numerous alternatives. While Turkish universities in general are at European standards, not only the private universities are cheaper than those in Europe, it is also way cheaper to study in the state universities, and even for free in some of them.

  • Problems and Possible Solutions of Communication Education in the Turkish Education System: Department Name Problems
    Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies Special Issue: December 2017 Problems and Possible Solutions of Communication Education in the Turkish Education System: Department Name Problems Mustafa Özgür Seçim Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Communication [email protected] Abstract Communication education in the Turkish higher education system has been improving every year. In 2017 more then 35 faculties named as communication are accepting students and every year almost 700 students are graduating from these faculties. In this study, it is tried to be found what are the major problems of these faculties in terms of they have so many different department names and also it is tried to suggest some solutions for these problems. Introduction There was really “Communication First” as stated in the title of the book of Alaeddin Asna, a famous communication academician whom we lost in 2015. The democratization process that accelerated with the transition to a multi-party political life in Turkey during the 1950s brought about the requirement to reach more people, and in this regard, it became essential to increase both the access to mass media and the number of experts who could use it. While the most important mass media in that period appeared to be newspapers and radio, in today’s world, the broad spectrum of means of communication from social media to cell phones, from the Internet to digital cameras form our lives. Using these tools effectively and transmitting the desired message to the target audience are very important both for the state mechanism and private sector. This is because the fact that the target audience understands the desired message in a different way or it does not reach the target audience at all causes a big confusion and leads to a ‘communication accident’.
