Our department members, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih Güngör and Asst. Prof. Dr. Onur Uludağ, visited Universidad EAN in Bogotá, Colombia, from January 26 to 30, as part of the Erasmus+ KA171 Staff Teaching Mobility program.
On the first day of the visit, our faculty members held a panel titled “Academic diplomacy: the strategic role of languages in international cooperation,” sharing insights on the significance of languages in global academic relations.
Throughout the week, Dr. Güngör and Dr. Uludağ conducted various educational activities for both students and academic staff. These included delivering lectures on “Public Speaking” and English proficiency to Universidad EAN students, as well as conducting workshops on “English Medium Instruction (EMI)” specifically designed for the university’s teaching staff.
To conclude the mobility program, our delegation, accompanied by Universidad EAN representatives Lucy Guerrero Lindarte, Victoria Dangond, and Felipe Espinosa Torres, had the honor of visiting the Turkish Ambassador to Colombia, Ms. Beste Pehlivan Sun, at the Embassy. During the visit, the growing academic ties between the two nations and the vital role of linguistics in fostering these connections were discussed.
The program, which also included meetings with the Faculties of Humanities and Business as well as cultural excursions, was successfully concluded, further strengthening the academic cooperation between the two institutions.
