معرفی
Dr. Esin AKYAY ENGİN serves as a Researcher in the Department of English Language Teaching at the Faculty of Education, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, where she has held continuous academic positions since 2012. She earned her PhD in English Language Teaching from the same institution in 2022, following a Master's degree from Trakya University (2010) and Bachelor's degree from Middle East Technical University (2007).
Her educational background demonstrates deep specialization in ELT:
- Bachelor's Degree: English Language Teaching, Middle East Technical University (2007)
- Master's Degree: English Language Teaching, Trakya University (2010); Thesis: Textlinguistics and Translation Performance: A Sample Study in Translation Courses
- Doctoral Degree: English Language Teaching, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (2022); Dissertation: Diversity in the Language Classroom: A Suggested Course for Diversity Training in Turkish ELT Context
Dr. Akyay Engin's research centers on practical applications in English Language Teaching, with recurring emphasis on translation studies, cultural integration, and teacher development. Her work consistently addresses Turkish ELT contexts, examining how theoretical frameworks like text linguistics and diversity training can enhance classroom practice. She investigates critical areas including student teachers' reading habits, academic speaking skills development, and specialized English pedagogy for medical contexts.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward practical implementation: early work (2008-2015) explored interdisciplinary integration (geography/history) and foundational teacher training concepts, while recent outputs (2019-2022) focus on translation theory, ESP coursebook evaluation, and diversity training. This evolution reflects growing attention to specialized language applications and theoretical grounding in translation studies.
She has contributed significantly to academic discourse through conference participation and committee service, including roles in the ULEAD International Conference on Research in Education (2013, 2015) and Balkan Education Congresses. Her organizational work spans program committee membership, proceedings editing, and congress secretariat duties, demonstrating active engagement with international education communities.
Dr. Akyay Engin maintains strong connections with Trakya University (where she earned her Master's and briefly served as Research Assistant Doctor in 2022) while building her primary career at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. Her research continues to address evolving challenges in Turkish language education through both theoretical exploration and practical classroom solutions.
