MOCA was initiated by Ege University School of Foreign Languages in January 2017 for the students and teachers of the English Prep Class, which offers a one-year Intensive English program prior to students’ academic studies in their faculties.

Building upon the belief that learner voice has the potential to create change and provide improvement on a wide scale, the MOCA would like to move away from conversations that often exclude learners and to instead offer a platform where learners and teachers can:

  • collaborate to discuss any issue regarding learning and teaching, including curriculum, testing and assessment, technology use, autonomy, and so on;
  • share experiences, practices and views on teaching and learning;
  • learn from and with each other as partners;
  • develop mutual trust and a better understanding of each other; and
  • build shared responsibility and a community of learning and practice.
