My Final Post

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 that much. The Flipped teaching video was my favorite task because preparing a video, especially by using Canva is fun and easy.

4. What would be your suggestion to improve it? 

    My suggestion would be the teacher should collaborate with students more while instructing. Giving the small parts of the topic to students as a presentation assignment would enhance students' comprehension of the topic and help them to complete the other tasks more easily. 

5. What would you tell to the students who would take this course next year? 

    They shouldn't start doing the tasks the last day before the deadline...

6. How would this course contribute to your professional development?

    I now know what tools to use for various purposes while teaching and can encourage my students to gain 21st-century learning skills.

Flipped Teaching Video

 Hello everyone! For this task, my friend Zelal and I prepared a flipped teaching video. I will explain what flipped teaching is shortly. The flipped classroom approach is a teaching model that reverses the traditional roles of in-class lectures and homework assignments. Instead, students learn new concepts at home through pre-recorded lectures or other instructional materials and apply their knowledge during class time through interactive activities, discussions, and collaboration with peers. The advantages of using this method in language classes include flexibility for students to learn at their own pace, active learning which involves more interaction and participation, collaboration which encourages teamwork and peer-to-peer learning, and personalization where teachers can tailor lesson plans to meet individual needs. However, some disadvantages may include technical issues such as access to technology and reliable internet, lack of motivation for some students, time constraints

AR/VR Integrated Materials: EDINBURGH

 Hi everyone! It is time to create again. We studied AR/VR integration into educational materials. They provide engaging and interactive learning experiences, including 3D models, virtual experiments, and collaborative virtual classrooms. These tools revolutionize education by making abstract concepts more tangible, fostering active learning, and expanding the possibilities of remote education. Now, we are preparing an AR/VR integrated material. My friend Zelal and I chose to go on a 3D trip to the fascinating city of Edinburgh.

Flipped Teaching Video

     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
