Corpus-Based Teaching Material

-

  Hello everyone, it's me again. I miss my blog so much. This time, my friend Defne and I were assigned to prepare a corpus-based teaching material. The target audience of the activity we prepared is EFL students in high school. In this regard, we chose a topic where we explain the difference between 'Any and Some'. We did research on this topic and decided which exercises to prepare. Then we created the design from the Canva. At first, they will discuss what the students know about this subject, then they will write it down in the table we prepared, and at the end, they will reinforce what they have learned by doing the fill-in-the-blank and true-false activities we prepared. When students do this exercise, it is aimed for them to clearly learn the difference between Some and Any. While preparing the activities, we took into account the age group of high school students and planned activities at a level that they can learn. At the same time we should not ignore some problems that will arise when this study we have prepared is applied in a real classroom. This activity can be given to students as an online assignment, but considering that not every student may have access to the internet, this problem can be solved by the school or teacher by printing out the work for each student separately. At the same time, since the English level of each student may not be the same, this difference can be closed by giving group studies. In conclusion, this task enabled me to use technology effectively as a new generation teacher candidate. The fact that this was a group effort helped us get used to working as a team and exchanging opinions. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot both while preparing and designing the activities. I am adding the link to my group friend Defne's blog and the link to the activity we prepared. Don't forget to check it out. Thank you for reading. 💗

Hello everyone, we have come to the end of the semester. This blogpost is a bit emotional for me because we have left another era behind. Current Issues in ELT was a course I definitely enjoyed I had difficulties in the tasks we did this semester and experienced situations that I had difficulty understanding. But it proved that this lesson taught me a lot. I really liked about this course was that I got to prepare materials not as a student but as a teacher candidate instead. I will definitely use what I learned in this course when I become a teacher in the future. The AR/VR integrated material was my favorite one because I like designing it and found it interesting to experience AR/VR. I had a lot of fun doing this task. The most difficult and least fun thing I had to do was the corpus-based teaching material because it took me a long time to do this task and it took me a long time to understand how to do it. I don't think this course needs to be improved because it is already nic...

Vox-Pop Assignment

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Today I am here with a new article. In today's blog post, I will talk about our last task in the educational technologies course. This week we were asked to create a podcast. Firstly we were expected to choose a topic. My friend İrem and I choose“If you could spend time with a fictional character, who would it be and why?” and created a podcast about it. We have created a dialogue and record our voice. We both expressed our own opinions on this subject and asked 10 more people. I made a podcast for the first time. We had a lot of fun even though we had some minor problems while making it. I plan to use the podcast in my professional life in the future. I would also like to thank my friend İrem, I think we did a good job. I hope you like it too. Take care of yourselves. See you in other articles. This is the link to our podcast, you should check it out. Vocaroo'da görüntüle >> This is the link to İrem's blog. https://iremselt...

MY FIRST WIKI ASSIGNMENT

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. I hope you are fine.  We needed to do a movie review with a friend for our Educational Technologies class this week. Me and my friend Okan also chose The Truman Show. More precisely, I suggested watching it, and he accepted. We both liked it very much and were impressed. This movie made us both think a lot and question our own lives. Although I don't normally like these kinds of movies, I loved this movie. It's my first time writing a movie review. I also used Wiki for the first time. In short, this event caused us to socialize, use a new application for the first time, and write a review for the first time. Especially I think that learning how to use Wiki has added a lot to both of us. Wiki makes a lot of sense for many people to join and do something together. It is very useful for students to use it for information sharing, especially in the classroom environment. I hope to use the Wiki more in the future. Although it is fun to work alone,...
