English with technology

CREATİNG WEB QUESTS    Hello everyone! I'm here with another great task. It is our last task but it does not mean that we will stop chasing new ways of using technology. This week's task is to create a WebQuest. Webquests are great online tools that make the project understood more easily by students.     My partners are Şevval and Hasan. We made a great job together one more time. We used Zunal to create WebQuest. We chose our task as 'creating a poster about saving the world'. I started with the introduction and the task pages. I introduced the importance of the task in the introduction and then I gave information about the task on the task page. Şevval wrote the process page and explained how the students are going to create the task. and then Hasan wrote the evaluation page and explained to students how they are going to be evaluated also, Hasan wrote the conclusion page to end the Webquest. It was an easy and useful task and in my opinion, it has no chal...

We Are Travelling to London  Hi guys! I'm so excited to tell you about this week's topic. But first, let's talk about AR technology. AR(Augmented Reality) technologies are used to make and see things in front of us. It is the technologically augmented presentation of the real world which is created by using through the use of digital visual elements, music, or other sensory stimulation.    Let's talk about my task. I worked with my pair Şevval . We created a handout for my students by which they can see London closely. We used canva again. Firstly we decided on which city the students are going to learn about and we chose London. In this task, the students need to ınstall an app called "Unite AR" on their phones. then they have to scan the pictures with the help of this app. Once they scan the photos they will see 360 videos of the pictures. It sounds great right?  But I have to mention that It was so challenging at first because we could not find any tool to...

Grammar Teaching in Flipped Classrooms Hi again!   I talked about the flipped classroom activities last week. I was so excited while making these tasks and telling you about them and now here I'm excited to tell you about this week's task.  I shared some information about flipped classroom tasks in my previous blog. I mentioned that  students are supposed to revise the materials that have been given them by the teachers before the class. Yes, the teacher gives the materials before the class and so that students can ask their questions in-class time.   I created a vocabulary teaching video. In this task, I created a grammar teaching video.   I worked with very sweet partners Şevval and Hasan . Firstly we decided on the topic we were going to create a grammar video about. Then we started to decide what every each of us was supposed to do for the task. It was the most challenging part because we are in different cities. I was supposed to create the video and edit ...

 HELLO EVERYONE      Today I'll talk about my flipped classroom task. I'm so excited to tell you abıout the details of the task because it was so fun to do this task.   Let's talk about flipped classroom method before talking about the task. In flipped classrooms, students are supposed to revise the materials that have been given them by the teachers before the class. Yes, teacher gives the materials before the class and so that students can ask their questions in-class time. In my opinion, it is a very useful way of saving time in the classroom because if the students previously look at materials and have ideas about the subject, there would be more time for students to ask their questions and for the teacher to answer the question in-class time.    Now let's talk about how me and my partner Kaan (he is a very responsible and good partner) created this task. We choose the "Movies" Unit in the 5th class student book. Kaan thought Moovly was a very use...

 WHAT İS A LANGUAGE AWARENESS TASK Hello!     In this post,  I’m going to talk about language awareness tasks.    I know when students hear about the word task they usually don’t get  excited.  They mostly don’t want to  waste their time with tasks  worksheets. But as we know it’s  now so easy to do anything we want thanks to  technology. For example with the help of  “ corpora ” (plural of ‘corpus')  students can find any text relevant to  their tasks. They don’t have to  spend  a lot of time with their tasks.  Also in my  opinion, if the students search in corpus they can have more responsibility  for their tasks because they learn with themselves.  Corpus is one of the examples of data-based learning and  we know that data-based learning gives more responsibility to students and  they get more interested  and interactive .       Language awarenes...
