Bahçeşehir University Students Learn English on Their Phones

Bahçeşehir University (BAU) Preparatory School has designed a program that can be used on mobile phones and tablets, in cooperation with EnglishCentral, a Google company, so that its students can learn English more effectively and enjoyably.

Bahçeşehir University English Preparatory School continues to raise the quality of its education through its cooperation with EnglishCentral and its innovative perspective. The program, which can be used via an internet connection on computers as well as on smartphones and tablets, helps students learn English. Preparatory School Director Mehmet Atasagun said: "With the English on the Go program, we aim to help our students spend their time outside class more productively. Thanks to this program, which is fully aligned with the English Preparatory Program, our students can review what they learn in class, improve their listening skills through the videos they watch and enrich their vocabulary through the activities."

Consisting of Watch, , Learn and Speak sections, the EnglishCentral program enables students to see and grasp how words are used in the videos they watch. In the speaking section, students read the words they have learned by watching into the system through a microphone and receive instant feedback on their pronunciation. Designed to support the weekly course schedule of the Bahçeşehir University English Preparatory School and also usable as a dictionary, the program has a direct impact on students' success in weekly vocabulary quizzes.

Oytun Erdoğan, one of the students using the program, in which student performance can also be monitored by the class teacher, says: "When I saw that my English vocabulary had increased after I started using the program, I was glad I had got it. I plan to use the program not only during preparatory education but also after I move on to my faculty, and I recommend it to all my fellow students. The program showed me that English is actually a fun language."

Bahçeşehir University Preparatory School students will also be able to use this state-of-the-art program at the Bahçeşehir University campuses in Washington DC and Toronto, where the preparatory program is offered.
