One Wish Before You Die -" Podcast "


Hello  again ! I  hope  you  are  doing  well.

 I  feel  better  when  I  see  that  I  can succeed  the  assingments  given  in  "Instructional  Technologies  and Material  Design in  English  Language  Teaching ". I'm   sorry, I  should  have  told  you  before.The  tasks  in  this  blog, including  itself, are  all  thanks  to  this  course.

Today's mission is creating a podcast. This time it is a team work.The number of my friends is limited at school.But the ones I have are great 🙂.So  with  one of my best , Serra , started working together on this project.

There were three options for the podcast.We chose the second one:Vox-Pop. I  mean, to  ask a question at least ten people and to  evaluate  the answers at the end.

So first we decided the question.

"What is  the one thing you definetly want to do before you die?"

I  think it is a nice question to answer. We  walked  around  the  campus  and randomly  questioned. After  getting  the  answers,  we  wrote  the  script.We  voiced  sentences  one  by  one  with  Serra.We  decided  on  generic  music  and  created  our  podcast  with  the  further  contribution  of  my  dear  partner. We  talked  to  13  people  and  we  got  different answers .The results  show  that  most  people  want  to  visit  another  country  before  they  die. In  our  opinion,  the most  interesting  one  is  "I  want  to  see  the  Rolling  Stones ,before  they  die "😃

 The  process  was  fun and  after  listening  our  podcast,  we  were  proud  of  ourselves😍

I  would  like  to  give  a  similar  task  to  my   students  in  the  future.I  couldn't  find  any  disadvantages, however , I can  list  the  advantages  as  follows:

  • First  of  all , teachers  should  create  their  own  podcast  in  accordance  to  their  need  and  students  level  as  an  sample. Then  they  can  give  it  as  an  assignment.
  • While  prepearing  their own , students  use  all  four  skills.
  • Writing -while  writing  the  script- , speaking  and  reading - while  recording  it - , listening - while  listening to  theacher's  sample  and  the  podcast  they  prepared -.
  • The  research  they  do while  prepearing  all  these  processes   and  the  technology  use  are  other  added  bonuses.
  • The  best  part  of  all  is  that  a  very  nice  product  emerges, which  is  very  satisfying  for  students.

That's  all  for  now!

Here is  our  podcast:👇

See  you  soon!

Should or Must - "Corpus-based Teaching Material"

Image
   Hello  everyone, Hope  you  are  doing  well.I  was  engaged  in desingning  corpus-based  teaching material  last  week. As  I  told  you  before,this  term  we  are  integrating  technology  into  learning  materials  from  a  teacher's  percpective.I  think  we  should  be  more  careful and  work  our  materials in  more  detailed. We  were  supposed  to work in  groups  of  three  for  this  task.So  my  usual  dear  partner  Serra  and  new  dear  partner  Nisa  and  me  worked  together. First  we  chose  the  subject  as " should  and  must"   from  the  course  book  by  MEB  for  p...

 Happy  New Year  to every one! I  hope  everything  will  be  better  in 2025. Since  it  is  new  year  our  instructor  gave  us  one more  week  to  complete  our  task  as a New  Year's  gift😍.Actually  the  task  wasn't  as  hard  as  the  previous  one-Flipped  Classroom-,however, we  were  relieved   that  our  instructor  extended  the  time. This  time  our  team  was  4   people. Sümeyra,Sümeyye  and  my  dear  and  usual  partner  Serra.I  would  like  the  say  that  -I  think  Serra  agrees  with  me- this  is  the  best  group we  have  worked  together  harmoniously  so  far.

Daily Routines-"Flipped Language Classroom"

Image
 Hello  everyone, How  are  you? I  am  here  again  with  a  different  task. Flipped  Language  Classroom   😊which  simply  means  learning  the  subject  at  home, doing  the  homework in  the  class. Students  learn new  material  on  their  own  at  home  using  videos  or  online  resources.As  far  as  I  am  concerned, it  has  both  advantages  and  disadvantages.Let  me  talk  about  the  advantages  first: Since  students  learn  the  new  content  at  home, class  time  is  used  for  interactive   activities  and  collabration  for  enhancing  the  leaning.Student  can  engage  with  the  c...
