Year Spent in the U.S.

January 2006– May 2006

American Experience
Tell us about your time in the U.S.

The five months I spent in the USA were really special. I was able to observe some interesting classes and learn about the organization of the US universities. Another important thing is that I was introduced to a great number of books from the field of my interest. I was also able to meet some people from my field at the TESOL conference I attended. That was a special experience in itself. All in all, the time I spent in the USA as a JFDP fellow was very productive, enjoyable, and professionally enriching

How was your internship experience?

My program did not offer internship

What were your impressions of the U.S.?

For me, it was nice to be back again. I finished my 12 th grade in the USA through one of the academic exchange programs and coming back again, and this time to a university, was really a wonderful experience

Looking Ahead
What are you working on now?

I am currently working on my master thesis. I am supposed to finish it and defend it this year

What are your plans for the future?

Huh, I have many plans. I am planning to go for a doctoral degree as soon as possible. Also, I will try to gain some international experience. I would love to experience how my work is done somewhere else and how it feels to be doing it somewhere else
