I am Osman Bedel, an English language educator, teacher trainer, and educational consultant working across Turkey and France. My practice brings together language teaching, professional development, institutional planning, and educational technology. I am currently researching English-medium instruction at Université Toulouse – Jean Jaurès.

Current work

At FMV Işık University, I have worked as an English instructor since 2019 and as Online Education & ICT Coordinator since 2022. I founded GLOBAL-CPD in 2015 and serve as its president, focusing on professional development for educators and institutions.

My work includes English language teaching, teacher training, curriculum and assessment, digital learning, and institutional consultancy. These areas are described in more detail on my Projects & Practice and CV pages.

Research and education

I am enrolled in the 2026–2027 Doctorat en Didactique des Langues at Université Toulouse – Jean Jaurès. My research explores how disciplinary lecturers in French higher education understand and adapt English-medium instruction. This doctorate is in progress.

  • BA in English Language Teaching, Istanbul University — awarded 1998.
  • MA in Applied Linguistics, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” — awarded 2012. My thesis examined literature circles, social interaction, and collaborative learning in EFL.
  • BS studies in Management Information Systems, Istanbul University — in progress since 2023.

See Research & Publications for current research, completed MA work, selected publications, and a clearly labelled historical doctoral manuscript that was not defended.
