Structure – Modular System

The MEF English Language Preparatory Program uses a modular system which consists of four 38-day modules and one summer module. After 38 days of instruction, students have a short break before the next module starts. 

There are five levels: Level 1 – Pre-Faculty Level. If a student starts from Level 1, for example, that student has the opportunity to finish all five levels by the end of Summer School, although it is possible that they will need to return to the ELPP in their second year to complete the Levels. In the 2020-2021 academic year 75% of students who started at Level 1 completed all ELPP Levels in one year. 25% returned to complete their ELPP studies in the second year.

This is to be expected, as progressing from A1, or in some cases pre-A1, to a B2 threshold level in ten months is not easy for many learners and is why it is possible to have up to two years in a university English preparatory program in Turkey.

Students who start the ELPP at Level 1 and pass all levels successively to reach Pre-Faculty Level at the start of Summer School are entitled to free Summer School. All other students must pay for Summer School should they choose to attend.
