As part of the IKCU SFL Professional Development Unit sessions, we were delighted to host Sinem Atamsoy Koşar, ELT Specialist, Co-founder of InspirED Minds, and Advanced Neurolanguage® Coach, for an insightful session entitled "Classroom Interaction & Discourse Dynamics for Student-Centered Classes” on 4 November 2026.

Organized in collaboration with Oxford University Press, the session explored the role of classroom interaction and discourse dynamics in fostering student-centered learning environments. It offered an opportunity for our academic staff to reflect on how classroom communication, interactional patterns, and teacher-student discourse can contribute to more meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

The session provided a valuable professional development opportunity, encouraging participants to consider the dynamics of classroom communication and the importance of creating learning environments in which students are actively involved in the learning process.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Sinem Atamsoy Koşar for sharing her expertise and insights.
