From Past to Present: The Place of Technology in Language Learning

 Hello again to all of you my dear blog and dear readers! I hope everything is fine since we met. We will fill my blog, which was filled with all the materials we made in our Educational Technologies course last year, with fun materials we designed in the English Instructional Technologies and Material Design course this year. We started our lesson by looking at the history of technology in education and language learning. Our post and task today will be related to this. We will look at how technology has gained a place in language education from the past to the present by integrating the knowledge we have learned with what we have learned in the course. We were asked to do this in the form of a timeline in the most memorable way. While I was creating my timeline, I used Canva, which offers countless different content and possibilities. I reinforced what I learned while doing this task, there were things that I enjoyed but had difficulty with. One of them was that I couldn't embed my chart in my blog. I still don't know how to fix this problem, so I will try different ways. 

Yes, here is my famous timeline. Today I am here again with wonderful work !



I hope you, my dear readers, will find it useful and like it... Until the next task, take care of yourself!

Get ready to party: Flipped-teaching material!

 Hello to all of you, my dear readers, with a new week and new material! This week I will tell you about our adventure of preparing flipped-teaching material. But before that, I would like to inform you about what flipped teaching is. Flipped teaching is a training method that brings a contrary perspective to the teaching and homework approach we are accustomed to. As we all know, in the traditional method, we work on the subject during the lesson and then we do our homework on that subject at home. On the other hand, in the flipped teaching model, while students learn a new subject related to the lesson at home through online videos or tools provided by the teachers, it is assumed that they know the subject when they come to the lesson, and it is aimed to reinforce that subject in collaboration, discussions, and projects. Moreover, if we take a look at the benefits of flipped teaching, it can help students explore their own learning, and increase student-teacher interaction as the...

We will learn a lot with it: A Corpus Based Material!

Image
 Hello again, my dear readers! This week we are together again with a very different material. We have been working on Corpus-based material with our lecturer for 2 weeks. So now you're going to ask, "What is a Corpus?" Let me explain right away. Corpus is a large collection of texts that are systematically selected and stored as an electronic database. And this database is often used in linguistics to validate rules.  Integrating corpus into language education and lessons as teachers will provide many benefits for our students' language learning processes. Students who know how to use corpus will be able to learn the smallest detail about the words that confuse them, and they will be able to easily understand a grammar subject they have difficulty with thanks to the many examples presented in corpus programs. Of course, as useful as using a corpus can be, it can be quite confusing at first. This is exactly what we are asked to do today: To prepare material for our st...
