About the ILC


The mission of the ITU SFL Independent Learning Center (ILC) is to promote independent English-language learning and the development of practical study skills among the students of the ITU Preparatory School. The ILC provides resources, activities, and guidance to help these students meet their personal goals for English language learning.


The Independent Learning Center is located in room D221 of the main SFL building on the ITU Maçka campus.  The center is open every school day 0830–1730 and stays open even when there is no staff present. Please use the space appropriately and keep it clean. Staff office hours are posted on the door.

The ILC is closed during all holidays and weekends.  The ILC is closed during the summer.


For questions about the ILC, you can send us email.  For questions related to other offices at ITU or the English Preparatory Program, you can find the correct office at the official ITU SFL/YDY website or the official ITU website.


The ILC was established in 2015.
