Dear Student,

The Online Linguistic Support (OLS) supports language learning for Erasmus+ mobility participants.
The OLS offers participants in Erasmus+ long-term mobility activities the opportunity to assess their
skills in the foreign language(s) they will use to study, work or volunteer abroad.

The OLS language assessment is mandatory for all participants to Erasmus+ mobility with one of
the following languages as the main language of instruction. Erasmus+ mobility participants must
take the assessment twice before and at the end of their mobility period in order to monitor
their progress in the language of mobility. The online assessment assesses participants' language
skills - listening, reading and writing - according to the Common European Framework of Reference
for Languages (CEFR).
Participants must complete the first language assessment before the mobility to assess their
language competences. For higher education students, taking the OLS language assessment before
their departure is a pre-requisite for the mobility, except if duly justified. Assessment results do not
prevent participants from taking part in the mobility programme, but can be used by the sending
institution/coordinating organisation to identify the participants most in need of linguistic support.
At the end of their mobility period, participants will be requested to take a second assessment to
assess the progress made.

According to rules and regulations set bey Turkish National Agency (NA) and European Comission
(EC), pre-mobility and post-mobility OLS online language assesments are mandatory, unless
otherwise agreed by both parties as the student and ITU Erasmus Office by the inter-agreed grant
agreement. Depending on your perfomence on your pre-mobility OLS assessment, you may be
graded in a scale from A1- to C2 in compliance with the European Common Framework for
Languages (CEFR) spectrum. The result of B1 or less are subject to an automatically assigned online
language course. In this case, the student is also obliged to follow the automatically-assigned
mandatory online language course for a sensible (reasonable) time. Otherwise, our office is obliged
to reinstate all the paid and unpaid grants in a percentage ranging from 20% to 100%. This clause is
stated clearly in your grant agreements.

Our office willnot send your post-mobility OLS assessment invitation after your mobility. You are
supposed to follow your OLS profile for your post-mobility assessments. In case of a prolongation or
shortening procedure in your mobility time period, you ought to modify your end-of-mobility dates
via the link stated in the first attachment of this e-mail.

Moreover, you can find your Erasmus Student Proclamation, which is the third attachment to your
grant agreement, as the second attachment of this e-mail. It states your obligations, rights and
sanctions in case of misbehaviour in general as an addendum to the clauses of your grant
agreements.

Wishing you great success in your assessments and mobilities,

With love,

(Mr.) Cihan apc
