About

I am currently working as a research assistant at Abant İzzet BaysalUniversity, Department of Foreign Language Education. I completed my PhD dissertation on the analysis of text based CMC of Advanced EFL learners in Second Life in English language teaching at Middle East Technical University in February, 2012. Before that, I got MA degree at Abant Izzet Baysal University,Department of Foreign Language Teaching writing a thesis entitled “The functions of negotiation of meaning in text-based synchronous computer mediated communication (CMC)”. I collected data at Tapped In and I analyzed the participants’ chat logs. As for BA degree, I graduated from Hacettepe University, Faculty of Letters, Department of English Language and Literature. I  learned a lot at this department, and if I had a second chance, I would certainly choose this department for BA degree.
