An English Learner's Notes

Hello everyone. We are back together one last time. This post will be an evaluation and comment on our course. Enjoy!  1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the course?      I have learned many things that I've never heard of in my life. I can definitely say that this is a strength because the tools we used while doing the assignments were very useful. I will be using many of them in the future. On the other hand, there is an excessive amount of assignments. Instead of doing separate tasks for each tool or topic that has been covered, I would prefer integrating more than one tool into a material. 2. What did you find easy or difficult about the course?      The course was easy to understand but completing the assignments was challenging. 3. What was your most and least favorite task? Explain your choices.      The corpus-based teaching material was the hardest for me because I did not fully understand how to use corpus and I do not think I will be using the tool in the future

     Hello friends! We are back together with another challenging task. In this task, My friend Merve Yaşar and I were supposed to prepare material for prep class EFL students.      We chose the unit about traveling from their course book. The topic was easy but finding an AI tool to use in the activities was very confusing. I am not very familiar with AI tools other than ChatGPT or Google Bard ... So we consulted them to suggest a tool that would work for us. After deciding on Quillionz , an AI tool that creates quizzes based on a given text, the rest of the task came easily and quickly. We used Canva while preparing the worksheets.      You can check out our material by scrolling down.

  In the changing world of education, it's pretty clear we're waving goodbye to the traditional methods. Today, I want to take you through a story about how Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) are shaking things up in the classroom. So, we worked with Merve Yaşar , and together we prepared something special: students diving into the streets of Amsterdam without leaving their seats, thanks to a VR document. They're cruising the canals and checking out landmarks, turning regular lessons into something way more exciting. Now, creating this VR experience was a challenge. Getting our creative vibes in sync, tweaking the VR setup, and fixing tech hiccups took some serious teamwork. But as we progressed and understood the assignment, we were convinced that this experience was a game-changer. This immersive journey went beyond the usual textbook stuff. It made students feel a real connection with Amsterdam's hotspots. It's a prime example of how VR/AR can spark genuine i
