A School Task About Academically Stealing

-
Hi everyone.
In our last lesson which was done yesterday, the whole class was given homework, which requires us to create an infographic for next week. This infographic should be about an ethical issue and I chose plagiarism to make it. It was enjoyable actually, but it was also pretty challenging as I could not decide what to focus on. Should I be focused on the meaning of the subject or should I highlight not to make plagiarism? Answering this question took a lot of time. At least, after thinking for half an hour, I decided to warn people about avoiding plagiarism. Despite that half an hour, the creation process did not take a lot of time and it was so relieving as the only thing I thought about anxiously was deciding the colors I used in it.  I used Canva, a colorful and impressive tool to create this kind of material and it helped me a lot to make it more interesting. While preparing for this task, I understood how much effect an infographic can have on language learners. By the time you learn a language, you have to memorize lots of things and also have to create connections between the words and visuals so that you can do it easily. Therefore, from my perspective,  students can benefit from infographics while studying vocabulary. They can learn chunks and phrases by keeping these imaged materials. For instance, if they learn about the rules at school, they can look at an infographic and make the rules visualized. In my opinion, this will be a technique that I would love to use in my classes. 
See you at the next post!
Lots of love. xoxo.

 Hello Everyone! It has been a great week for me, what about you? I was busy doing my homework as always. This week we worked on the topic of artificial intelligence use. Again my team consisted of Umut, Alperen, and me. We had a great time, no lies here. However, this time finding a task was quite hard as we wanted to do something as creative as possible. We created an activity of 'writing a story' with the help of AI tools. The students are required to find a pair and select a genre for themselves: fantasy, mystery, or romance. They need to ask the AI tool to write a story and then, they need to form it. While writing the story, they need to pick 5 words related to their topics and include them in their stories. They also be given a worksheet where they need to fill in the words. After writing the story, they will be given a feedback worksheet where they will be able to select whether they enjoyed the activity and again, they will express their feeling with a little writing a...

HELLO EVERYONE! It is always a pleasure for me to write here and thankfully, this week we have lots of things to talk about. As I mentioned in my previous post, I started taking Current Issues in English Language Teaching class and this week we were asked to create Corpus Based teaching materials and a lesson plan according to the ASSURE model in teaching. It means that we need to create an assessment that requires students to use corpus and then, we need to implement it in a lesson plan. It was group homework which I did with my friends Elif and Evrim. We created a 5 pages long material about Possessive Adjectives with activities such as filling in the blanks, true-false, choose the correct option. We used Canva and Paint while preparing them and made them so colorful that even I wanted to do them on my own. We needed to be sure that we were attracting their attention, did not we? We divided the sections among the three of us and used Canva's technological help to see each step of...

FLIPPING AROUND!

  Hello Everyone! Wow, such a week it has been! It seems there were lots of different ways to teach that we did not know until this week. We learned an approach called 'Flipped Classroom'. This approach allows teachers to use technology to record or choose a video of the subject that teachers will discuss in the next session. Then, they will send it to their students so that they can practice the subjects at home by themselves, and in the classroom, they can do exercises and activities with their teachers. To be able to comprehend it better, we were given the task of preparing our own flipped classroom video and material. I worked with my friends Umut and Alperen. We chose the subject of superlatives and comparatives. We prepared two different activities and one presentation video. We had trouble while trying to find the best platform to record and share the video on. However, in the end, we thought it would be best to record the video on Zoom and share it on YouTube. We were r...
