An English Learner's Notes

     Hello everyone! We're back together with an entertaining and different task. We prepared a flipped teaching video. Let me explain what the flipped classroom approach is. In a flipped classroom, there is a strategic swap of lectures and homework. While traditional methods are based on lecturing in class time and giving homework to do at home, the flipped classroom approach does the opposite. In this approach, students watch the lessons at home Netflix-style, and practice in the classroom. To adapt to the changing world, educators find this method very useful and fun. Students are able to see whether or not they completely understand and are capable of putting theory into real life. If there is a question they need to ask their teacher, they can do it right away and this is a huge plus for this method. There are also some disadvantages such as access to technology. To be able to successfully apply this method, all students need to have access to technology outside the classroom

 Hello everyone !  We're back together this semester with new tasks. Our latest task was preparing a corpus-based teaching material. While preparing, my partner Merve and I chose to work with intermediate-advanced level high school students. The topic we chose was differentiating "rise" and "raise". While preparing the material, we used Canva as a tool. We've been using Canva for years and know almost exactly how to use it but integrating corpus was the hard part of this task. Once we figured out what corpus is, how and where to use it, we were ready to prepare the material. It has step-by-step instructions that are clear and easy to understand. By the end of this material, we hope that students will be able to distinguish between the words "raise" and "rise" and use them correctly according to the context.  Thank you for visiting and see you next time !!!
