CORPUS-BASED MATERIALS TASK

 Hello everyone.

This week, I have a new assignment for your Current Issues in Teaching class. The assignment is creating an AI-enhanced corpus-based teaching material along with a lesson plan based on the ASSURE model for the target group of EFL learners enrolled in a high school in Turkey. The assignment required us to choose a unit from the Prep School textbook and prepare a lesson plan that includes students' use of Corpus and AI. We chose Unit 4 from the book and chose Will/Be going to and the present continuous as the target forms. We chose COCA as the online corpus tool for the lesson plan. We created a lesson plan based on the ASSURE model we had previously learned. The ASSURE model analyzes student characteristics. The objective of the lesson is determined based on the ABCD model. The materials to be used are determined. These are used throughout the lesson, and student participation is encouraged. Finally, the degree to which the objective has been achieved is evaluated. While preparing the assignment, it initially seemed a bit complex and challenging, but as we learned more, we realized it wasn't so difficult. We worked in groups of three. We progressed together, taking ideas from each other while preparing the assignment. We've prepared the lesson plan based on the resources students use. It's expected that no unsolvable problems will be encountered during the lesson. The target audience has access to technology, but the internet connection may occasionally drop. However, this is a short and temporary issue. You can also share your thoughts and suggestions about the assignment we've prepared using the link.

Best wishes.
