creating language awareness task

-

 Hi everyone,

Today i will share with you my first task which is creating language awareness task by using corpus. Corpus are useful in language teaching because it enables authentic language input and, it increases language awareness. Thanks to corpus, students can see how a word is really used in practice. Let's start with the definition of it. " Corpus are a collection of written texts, especially the entire works of a particular author or a body of writing on a particular subject."

 For this task, students first learn how to use websites which are lextutor, skell and english-corpora.org for corpus. Then, It is expected from students to do the handout by using corpus. For this purpose, my friend Ayşe and i prepared a handout. For our material, we want from students to use corpus from these sites. Our  topic is "quantifiers. The handout consists of three activities. We expect from students to fill in the gaps. While doing it, they will use corpus and they will figure out by themselves how quantifiers will be used.

Below you can see our handouts. See you soon 😊

Hi everyone. Today I'll talk about digital storytelling.Digital storytelling is multimedia movies that combine photographs,video,animation,sound,music.text,and often a narrative voice.Digital stories may be used as an expressive medium within the classroom. Students can work individually or collaboratively to produce their own digital stories.Once completed,these stories are easily be uploaded to the internet and can be made available to an international audience. It is a new and effective way to learn second language. It can improve children's creativity. And also it is really fun. My friends  Zeynep  , Gizem  and I have created a story named 'Day Dream'  This story is about 3 adventurous friends. While creating the video we had a lot of fun.  I hope you have fun while watching.

Hi everybody I have a bad news for you. Because of the end of this semester,this is my last post. In our educational technologies lesson  We've learned how to use technology in ELT clasrooms.And for this purpose,we have learned to use a lot of programs like padlet,blogspot,pixton,wiki,canva and so on. In some assignment we studied as a group. And this enabled us to look from our friends perspective and improved our thoughts. This lesson is really helpful for me because thanks to this programs, i know how to enrich my lesson when i become a teacher. We live in 21'st century and this century requires some changes. We can create this change. And, It can be accomplished by technology. Technology has crucial importance  especially in english language teaching classes . If we know how to use it, We can benefit from it in every aspect of life.  Throughout a term  i tried to share my opinions and assignment with you  v ia this blog. I hope this blog helps you with the use of techno

 Hi everyone, As you see in the title, today we are going to talk about augmented reality in education. Do you know what augmented reality is? Even if you don't know what it is exactly, you may heard it from interactive games, online shopping like Ikea or even the authorization to unlock your phone. Augmented reality enhance the user's real-world experience by combining real and technology based scenes or images. My friends  Ayşe Toy ,  Zeynep Uslu  and I prepared a task to introduce our students Rome, Italy. For our task we used  Canva  and  UniteAr . In terms of students, it is very easy. They need to upload unitear app. Then, they will scan the images and see the Ar images, videos and a tour to Capitoline Museum. However, in terms of teachers it could be a little bit diffucult because while preparing our task we couldn't find an app properly. We hope that in the near future, apps for augmented reality will improve and teachers will use augmented reality in class. To see
