The mission of the Boğaziçi University School of Foreign Languages Advanced English Unit is to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and cultural awareness required to excel in written and oral expression in English. Through a diverse range of courses, we aim to foster ethical standards, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation for the complexities of language and culture.

The unit aspires to develop:

1. Empowerment for Academic Pursuits: Offer students a concentrated opportunity to enhance their academic English skills, ensuring they are well-prepared to autonomously engage with their departmental classes.
2. Confidence in Expression: Empower students to communicate effectively in written and oral English, instilling in them the confidence to engage in thoughtful discourse and articulate their ideas with precision.
3. Critical Thinking: Cultivate critical thinking skills by immersing students in the analysis of diverse texts, enabling them to dissect complex ideas and gain a deeper understanding of universally generated knowledge and culture.
4. Cultural Enrichment: Provide students with a rich tapestry of electives that expose them to various facets of global culture and encourage them to appreciate the diversity of human experiences through the lens of English literature and language.
5. Ethical Engagement: Nurture a strong sense of ethical responsibility in our students, promoting values such as integrity, empathy, and respect for diverse perspectives as they explore complex social and cultural issues through their coursework.
6. Diverse Intellectual Adventure: Create an environment where students embark on an intellectual adventure, guided by our dedicated academic staff with diverse teaching and research interests, facilitating a holistic learning experience.
