These arrangements include (1)  preparing weekly outlines for each level in which both aims and explanations regarding the weekly practices can be traced by instructors and, (2) choosing and preparing materials that will support English language education during the academic year.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, CDO;

• makes necessary arrangements in the weekly outlines accordingly,
• chooses and prepares educational materials.

• the unit also holds weekly meetings with the instructors teaching at different levels and exchanges information with other units via regular meetings. Through these meetings, CDO keeps informed about whether the aims and the practices settled before are achieved. CDO works in coordination especially with the Test Development Office in order to ensure the overlap of objectives and tests as assessment tools.  With the help of these meetings, CDO also provides a smooth cognitive transition from one level to the other in terms of language skills and academic skills.
