At Acarkent Doğa Anadolu Lisesi each teacher becomes responsible for bringing the policy to life under his or her own terms. Language teaching is an ongoing educational process. We are convinced that language and subject teaching should not be considered in isolation. So we believe ,all teachers are language teachers as language transcends curriculum areas. Our teachers have a responsibility to promote literacy. Moreover, not only are all teachers language teachers, they are also policy makers.
We always keep in mind that moving from language policy development to implementation requires a process by which teachers must first develop awareness and build knowledge of the LP in order to successfully implement it in their classrooms. We know that the development of language is a key to communicate.
