hi, I'm an english teacher from barcelona thinking to make the move to istanbul. can anybody tell me when the academic year starts, esp. in universities? -or language schools by defect. and, if it's not asking too much, which is the best way round to get decent job at a uni? i've been teaching at the university in spain, so i think i have good prospects to do the same in istanbul?? thanks a million to whoever can answer/help me Smile

Starts Sep / Oct ...

Best way to get a job at a Uni - they're probably going to recruit from those already on the ground as there are usually quite a few applicants each year who are based locally ... and an interview usually wins over a cv in the mail .... it's probably cutting it rather fine for applying ...

See dmb's post in the 'Master Index' near the top of the Turkey forum for a list of private universities .. though you can forget Koc and Sabanci if you haven't got your MA ...

Yep, you're pretty much too late for the uni hiring season. You should send your CVs post haste and cross your fingers. Try Isik University and Fatih University. Last I knew, they hadn't fully completed their hiring. But they probably have now.

You can show up anytime and get a language school job. Got a heartbeat? Is English your first, second, or third language? No problem.

lf you can't get a spot this year, perhaps do a stint with a language school for 8 or 9 months and then start applying again early next year. I think that TED college down in Antalya is hiring for the next school year. They are neither a language school nor a uni. As far as l know, they are a private school which teaches both primary and high school levels. I don't know a whole lot about them, but from what l've heard, it's all good. Antalya is down south. lt's very hot in summer and mild in winter.
