A New Accredited Member: Aydın Adnan Menderes University School of Foreign Languages

Aydın Adnan Menderes University School of Foreign Languages has become an Eaquals Accredited Member. The accreditation reflects the School’s ongoing work in quality assurance, curriculum development, and academic language education.

Based in Türkiye, the School supports students through language programmes that connect closely with academic study and future professional goals. It offers courses in English, German, and French. In addition, the institution focuses strongly on academic skills, practical communication, and CEFR-aligned learning outcomes.

Accreditation as Part of Ongoing Development

Today, many university language centres are reviewing how they design programmes, assess learners, and support teaching teams. As a result, external accreditation has become an important part of institutional development across the sector.

For Aydın Adnan Menderes SFL, the accreditation process formed part of a wider effort to strengthen consistency across teaching, assessment, and academic management. At the same time, the School aimed to benchmark its practices against internationally recognised standards.

As Bilge Sevim Soykut, Head of the Quality and Accreditation Unit, explains:

“ADÜ SoFL joined EAQUALS to benchmark its practices against internationally recognized standards and to further enhance the quality of its teaching, assessment, and institutional processes. The School values external evaluation as a means of sustaining transparency, consistency, and ongoing development.”

The School’s approach also reflects a wider shift in higher education language teaching. Increasingly, institutions want quality assurance systems that support reflection, collaboration, and continuous improvement rather than simple administrative compliance.

Supporting Students Through Language Education

Alongside its quality assurance work, the School continues to focus on helping students develop the language skills they need for academic and professional contexts.

Its programmes combine structured learning outcomes with a practical approach to language use. Furthermore, the School places importance on creating clear links between curriculum planning, learner progress, and assessment practices.

Professional development also remains an important part of the institution’s academic culture. This helps teaching teams review their practices, share ideas, and respond to changing student needs.

Continuing a Long-Term Approach to Quality

For Aydın Adnan Menderes University School of Foreign Languages, becoming an Eaquals Accredited Member marks another step in an ongoing process of institutional development.

The accreditation recognises existing work while also supporting future reflection and collaboration. At the same time, it connects the School with other institutions working across different educational contexts and facing similar challenges in language education.

We are pleased to welcome the School as an Eaquals Accredited Member and look forward to future collaboration with colleagues at the institution.
