About My Podcast

 This time we were asked to prepare a podcast in the educational technologies class. Our teacher offered us four different options. I chose 60 sec idea to improve the world among these options. Accordingly, I gave a sixty-second speech about improving the world and expressed my ideas on this subject.

Frankly, before I started working, I thought that I would encounter difficulties such as finding a topic and recording a sound. But when I started working, I realized that this was not the case at all. It wasn't hard to come up with ideas. I chose this topic because I am vegan and believe that being vegan will make the world a better place. It was also in line with the title of the project. The audio recording was supposed to be exactly sixty seconds. That's why I recorded so many times. Listening to my own voice would normally sound weird, but this time it wasn't like that. Honestly it was pretty fun!

In the future, I may assign such a task to my students according to their age groups and levels. Through this task, students will have the opportunity to improve their pronunciation. Also the idea of creating something is always good. So they enjoy working.

Corpus-based Teaching Material

  Hello everyone, Today, I would like to tell you about the Corpus-based Teaching Material I prepared for the current issues in Elt course. Actually, this was a group work and we prepared it together with Melis  (click her name to access to her blog). The main purpose of preparing this material is to help students learn a grammar topic or vocabulary on their own using corpus data. Our target audience was secondary school students and we focused on teaching the difference between since and for as a grammatical topic. Thanks to this material, students will be able to see since and for in sample sentences, identify their differences, and finally reinforce the subject by doing relevant exercises. The study material consists of four steps. In the first step, students' background information is questioned and they are given relevant examples. In the second step, students are asked to enter https://www.lextutor.ca/conc/eng/, which is a corpus data collection, search for relevant wor

Flipped Teaching Videos

Hello everyone. Today I will talk about the Flipped Teaching Video I prepared for the Current Issues in Elt course. First of all, let me briefly explain what the flipped classroom approach is. Flipped classroom is a blended learning model. In this learning model, students learn the subject on their own by studying at home. In class, they do exercises on the subject. Compared to the traditional method, students are more active in this model. While the classical education model is teacher-centered, the flipped classroom is student-centered. One of the most important advantages of this model is that it activates the student. Thanks to this method, students learn to learn in accordance with the 21st Century education approach. However, this model may be difficult to implement if any student has access to technology. This is one of the disadvantages of this model. In this project, I prepared a 3-minute video in accordance with the model in question. Normally this was a two-man mission.

AI-integrated teaching material

 Hello everyone. Today I will talk about the final project of the Current Issues course. As I mentioned in the title, this time I prepared a study about artificial intelligence. The material I prepared is a writing task consisting of three stages. Accordingly, students are asked to write a paragraph and have it checked by artificial intelligence and receive feedback from it. In this way, it is aimed for students to learn how to use artificial intelligence functionally. In this period when artificial intelligence applications enter every part of our lives, students will definitely use them. This cannot be prevented. However, it is up to us, educators, to teach our students how to use artificial intelligence beneficially. You can access the material here .
