My Final Post

 Hey everyone, welcome to my blog. 


I can’t believe this is going to be my final post, time really does fly. I really found this course to be very beneficial and fun. I learned a lot of new information and tools that I am thinking of using in my future classes. 



We had a lot of assignments in this course but my favorite one was AR/VR integrated teaching material. It was so fun to design a teaching material with my friends while getting to know how to integrate AR/VR into our materials. My least favorite task was the flipped teaching video. My partner and I struggled with that task a lot. It was hard to understand how we could make our video interactive but once we got feedback from our teacher it was easy. 



This course was very beneficial for me as I got familiar with technology-integrated tasks. Overall I am very happy to have taken this course and I look forward to using what I have learned in my future classes. I couldn’t think of a suggestion that could improve this course. I already think it is a very fun and useful course. Lastly I want to thank Gökçe Teacher for everything that she taught me. 





Thank you for reading, take care💖

Flipped Classroom on Vocabulary Teaching

 Hey everyone, welcome to my blog.  The term "flipped classroom" refers to an educational approach in which conventional teaching techniques are inverted or "flipped". In this method the students get prior knowledge about the topic in their regular classes. After that they engage with instructional content such as video lectures. Classroom time is used for interactive discussions and activities. With this method teachers can focus on students’ individual needs without taking too much of the classroom time. Flipped classrooms also make it possible for students to enhance their self-learning skills. In my opinion, this method is very beneficial for both the students and the teachers.  For this week, we were assigned to create a flipped teaching material for an EFL classroom. Our target audience was 5th grade students. My partner Defne Baskan and I looked at MEB’s coursebook very thoroughly and we picked “Animal Shelter'' vocabulary teaching as our topic. Firs...

Vox-pop Assignment

Image
  Hey everyone, welcome to my blog. For this week’s class, we were assigned to create a podcast. we were given 4 options and me and my friend Nehir Akgün decided to create a vox-pop. I usually listen to podcasts but I have never created one myself. I was very anxious because I don’t like recording myself and I didn’t know how to create a podcast. First we started by choosing a question. We choose “which fictional character would you spend your day with if you could?” as our question. After that we wrote down what we were going to talk about on a shared google document. Then we asked 10 people our question. They sent it to us and after recording ourselves we combined the recordings through an audio joiner app. We had some problems while adding background music so we used a different app for that part. It was very fun creating a podcast and my partner and I had a lot of fun. I think using podcasts for educational purposes is really beneficial and I would consider using podcasts in m...

Corpus-based Teaching Material

 Hey everyone, welcome to my blog.  For this week, we were assigned to create a corpus-based material. I’ve partnered up with my friend Nursena Cakir for the assignment. Firstly we discussed which tool we can use to create the material and we decided to go with Canva. Using Canva as our tool was easy because we were already familiar with it from last year's classes. After picking our tool we talked about what we should focus on for our material and we decided to focus on grammar. After putting a lot of thought into it we picked the use of Be Going To/Will as our subject. For our target audience we picked high school students and the material that we prepared serves as a practice sheet for them. We picked a colorful and visually engaging template for our material. By using our material the students will be able to differentiate the use of “be going to” and “will”. The students will be able to use “be going to” and “will” correctly in the sentences and they will be able to under...
