Designing a CorpusMate Teaching Material

-
 Hello all,  I hope you are well. In this post, I’ll introduce the assignment that is assigned to us. I worked with my friends Fatma Reyhan Tuğ and Hayrunnisa Azbay . First, we had to choose modal verbs or vocabulary phrases that are mostly confused. We chose Must and Should to differentiate their usage. Then, we chose  a corpus to create a teaching material and a lesson plan based on it.  Our aim was to teach the differences  between them and to help students explore the authentic use of these modals by using a corpus.  As corpus we chose CorpusMate which is the easiest one to use in my opinion. We created  materials, planned the activities, and wrote clear instructions on the worksheet to help students use CorpusMate without trouble. If you want to see our activity, please click .  After finishing the materials, we started working on the lesson plan. We used the ASSURE model and tried out different lesson plan templates.  If you want...

DESIGNING A FLIPPED CLASS

-
 HI EVERYONE! How are you? I hope you are great because I am not, because of designing a flipped class for my future lessons.😞 You may be asking what is the flipped class and why are you designing it, keep reading I'll share every nightmare-like detail. 2 weeks ago we learned the flipped class approach and our insturctor assigned us to create a flipped class. It is a class that enables students to learn at home, practice at class. It   lets students learn at their own pace with pre-class materials and focus on activities in class. It encourages active learning and allows teachers to provide more support. However, it relies on technology, which not all students may have, and some might not prepare in advance. As always, we needed to work in groups, so I worked with my friends Fatma Reyhan Tug and Hayrunnisa Azbay. It could be a vocabulary or a grammatical teaching lesson but we chose a vocabulary lesson. As our target learners are 5th grade ESL learners we examined their syl...

DESIGNING AN AR/VR INTEGRATED TEACHING MATERIAL

-
       Hello everyone!      How are you doing these days? I hope you all great and ready for the finals week. If you are asking me, it's getting harder everyday to keep up with the assignments. I've learned from experiences that procrastinating always leads to deep regret. So, I am trying to be the best of myself and don't procrastinate studying. 😣 Nevermind. Let's talk about this week's assignment on Current Issues class. 2 weeks ago, at class, we reminded what was the AR and VR and saw some examples on them. If you often get confused like me, AR is augmented reality that adds digital elements to real world. And more beyond of it, is VR. VR is a virtual reality that creates fully virtual and immerse world. Later that class, our instructor told us to create a AR/VR integrated teaching material and I panicked the moment I heard it.  Relax, relax. We're not creating an AR or VR video ourselves. We just need to use existing ones from the intern...
