Hello everyone, after finishing the last task of this term I am finally here to write a goodbye post for you. This year this course contributed a lot to me. First, it taught me to combine technology with language teaching while preparing teaching materials. It helped me to learn how to prepare successful teaching materials for my potential students. I have learned so many important and useful apps through this course, I have learned how to use a corpus, and that flipped classroom is a beneficial method. However, again like last year's technology course, this was also the hardest course of the term because of the non-stop tasks. I don't think that we can find a solution to this because my instructor Gökçe Kurt was giving enough time and detailed instructions for our tasks. However, this course is difficult because it is time-consuming by nature. My favorite task of this course was preparing the corpus-based material because I learned a lot from the corpus while preparing the mat...

 Hello there, how are you? I hope you are great. This week me and my friend Eda Karaca finished the last task of the term. It was again a contributing one. You know benefiting from AI has become inevitable in 21st-century language teaching and learning. Thus, we created an AI- integrated teaching material for our potential students. Our target group was EFL high school prep students. And I thought that using AI for a collaborative writing task would be different and fantastic for students. Therefore we decided to collaborate with AI for a story-writing activity about gender discrimination.

We used ChatGPT as the target tool however for feedback we added ElsaSpeak as well to help students improve their pronunciation, internalize what they wrote by reading aloud, and getting feedback about both their pronunciation and story-writing skills. And then we created our ass...

Hello everyone,  This week our task was creating an AR integrating teaching material, and I worked with my friends Perihan Bozdağ, Meryem Dilara Demirkaynak, and Eda Karaca. First, we chose the option most suitable for us, then chose our country which was France, and started working. For this project, we decided on Canva because it is one of the most user-friendly apps. After, selecting the places in France, everyone searched for 360 videos and created QR codes for these videos. Finally, we wrote our "information and instructions" and "answer the questions" sections, in my opinion, this task was the most enjoyable task of this term. I will definitely use AR-integrated teaching materials when I start teaching, I believe they are really beneficial and fun for students.
