WebQuest as a lifesaving tool!

 Yes, my dear friends, after two or three weeks of separation, we came together again. 😍 I hope everything went well for you during our time apart. If you ask me, I got pretty tired as we approached the end of the term.😔 But do not worry, I will get rid of my tiredness with the topic of our project this week, which I will tell you about. I know you've been looking forward to it... 👀 

Yes, this week's topic is WebQuests! Let's first get to know what WebQuest is, as we always do. WebQuest is a learning activity designed for students to research a topic, gather information, and present results using internet resources. As a learning strategy that enables students to be actively involved in the research and learning process, WebQuests also helps teachers increase student interest and engagement. 

Now it's time for how we designed our WebQuest. First of all, we chose the 8th unit Emergency and Health Problems unit, which we want to focus on, from the preparatory book of the MEB, which we will use as a basis for this project, together with my friend Aygül, with who we work with as a pair. The reason we chose this unit was to choose a topic that students can learn about while doing their research. With this unit, we wanted to touch on first aid, which is a very important issue. Then we started to design our project by doing some research. While Aygül took care of the editorial work, I took care of the research-related work. Frankly, we were a little scared when we were doing this project, like other projects, because we hadn't done it before, but I think we handled it well. Moreover, WebQuest became one of the projects I wanted to use in my teaching life. I hope you will like it. I love you, see you!❤

I hope you like it, take care! 👋💖

Get ready to party: Flipped-teaching material!

Image
 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...

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

Image
 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 ...

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...
