| Interlang was once an independent chain but is now a part of the omnipresent English Time Kultur chain. I never worked there, nut my room-mate and friend did, at the Kadikoy branch. However, that was under the old ownership. From what I have been able to gather, the school is set up, for the most part, like ET is. Housing may be provided, in a lojman-type building, but this may be temporary until the teacher is able to get out on their own. Housing support is provided with ET, so I assume that it is also with Interlang. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| "The new Interlang contract was been changed in the sense that teachers get an hourly rate according to the band that they fall into (experience criteria) plus bonuses (performance and professionalism criteria.) And they are amongst the few schools in Istanbul which provide accommodation (good point - ed)." posted September, 2005 |

| "The only complaint that I have heard (recently - May 2006 - ed) is the low hourly rate. But people are willing to work for that much so it can't be that bad." M | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
