'TILL NEXT TIME, GOODBYE

       Before I take this course my view about technology integration in English language teaching was not exactly the same as my current view. Of course I was aware of the fact that technology is an important part of our lives and integrating it in many areas can be beneficial and helpful. but to be honest, I didn't think technology can be as productive as it is fun for educational purposes. Maybe it's because I haven't witnessed such things before.  I had not done the assignment examples I did for this course before. Thanks to this course, I realized that there are many educational, efficient and entertaining ways of teaching through technology.       I did many tasks for this course this semester. Some of them were easy for me and some were relatively more difficult. When I think about it, I guess the one I liked the most was to prepare a poster . I really enjoyed preparing my music-themed magazine cover. The one I liked the least might be...

LET'S MAKE WEBQUEST!

  Hello everyone      I am here with my last task for the material design in ELT course. My task this time was to prepare a Webquest. What we had to do for this task was to choose a project from the sample coursebook given by our teacher and turn it into a technological project. And again, with my friend Beyza , we chose a project from the sample coursebook. The project we chose is to prepare a poster about protecting our nature.      In the task we designed on Canva , we first informed the students about the subject in the instruction section.

We directed students to several websites that provided information about getting to know and protecting our nature. Afterwards, we asked the students to write a 100-word paragraph as far as they learned from these sites, and we put a sample of the paragraph we wanted for the students to review. Af...

FLIPPED CLASSROOMS PART 2

  Hello everyone!      This week I’m back with the second part of my flipped classroom Project. The first part, as you know was about vocabulary but this time it is about grammar. Beyza and I prepared this as we did in the previous video in general.      First we chose a grammar topic from the preparatory book that we used as an example and then searched for appropriate examples. We designed the examples that we'd show in the video on Canva . We recorded our own parts and tried to make some adjustments to our sounds via Audacity . Finally, we used Animaker to add animation and combine all our material to make a video.      Learning grammar rules can be more difficult for students than learning vocabulary. This method we use is a different technique for them and may attract their interest, watch these videos with curiosity and not get bored while learning. This will hopefully help break down traditional teaching-learning patterns of ...
