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 syllabus of the year and chose the unit “Daily Routines”.

First, each group member chose 3 words to teach. Second, we looked for the tool to use and then, we found related photos and videos related to our words. Next, we decided to use Animaker to teach our class, prepeared the slides and added our voices. Finally, we added an exercise for students to make at the end of the lesson. 

We designed the picture-vocabulary matching exercise on the site book widgets, if you are interested in it was easy to use and fun. I recommend you to use it for yourselves and your learners. 

To talk about the tool we used, animaker, I hated it. It wasn’t suitable for collaborative working, the site constantly froze. I can say it was an awful experience and I hated all the processes of the work. 

Altough it was hardly done, our work is praiseworthy. Please watch the video I am sharing, and add comments. This is our video please click to watch.

If you have any questions on how to design a lesson plan for a flipped class, don't worry. This is the ASSURE PLAN of our flipped class, you can take a look at it!

See you soon. Take care.

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 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...
