The Language Teaching, Practice & Research Center of Nevşehir University (NEDİM) was founded based on the regulation dated 03. 11. 2011 and no 28104 of the Official Gazette. The center- , as the name suggests, aims to set a model to the universities in the Cappadocia Region to teach languages and carry out researches into languages in general. Moreover, it places a top priority on teaching Turkish as a foreign language and conducting researches on Turkish language in particular.
In addition, the center is responsible for teaching Turkish to foreign students and to those who want to learn Turkish and issuing certificates of level based on the proficiency tests that it organizes. Thus, it plays an important role in helping the people across the region learn foreign languages because of its location as the heart of tourism in Turkey.

Those who have been found eligible to take part in Erasmus Exchange programs may take an intensive language course in one of the following countries either before their study/ placement period or during their study abroad. Students may attend the course organized only before mobility activities. They are not allowed to take the course by the end of the mobility activity. The objective of the course is to help the outgoing erasmus students learn the language and culture of the country to such an extent that they can meet their daily needs in the country where they are going to study for a certain period. Priority in EILC is given to those who are going to stay abroad for a longer study/placement period.
EILC takes 2- 6 weeks and has a minimum of 15 hours of teaching a week. totalling 60 hours of teaching. Moreover, there are language lab studies and free time for students to study on their own except for the teaching hours.
