Final Post

Hello everyone, 

We've reached the end of the "Current Issues in Teaching" semester, and this is my final blog post. This course was educational and beneficial for me as a teacher candidate in the technological age. We learned techniques for language teaching through topics like corpus learning, flipped learning, AR, VR, and AI-based learning. My favorite assignment was creating AI-integrated lesson plans, as we designed many lesson plans throughout the semester, making this assignment enjoyable. My least favorite assignment was creating corpus-based teaching materials. I want to tell students taking this course that they will love it if they have a positive attitude towards it. This course greatly contributed to my development as a teacher and will help me become a more conscious and effective technology user in the future. Looking forward to seeing you here again. 

Best wishes.

Flipped Classroom Learning

Hello, This week we have an assignment, and it is about creating a flipped classroom video. A flipped classroom is a learning model where students study the topic before coming to class by watching videos or reading short materials. In class, they do practice the topic. This method is useful for language learning because class time can focus on speaking and interaction. Students can also watch the video at their own speed and repeat the parts they don’t understand. However, there are some disadvantages. If students do not watch the video, the lesson cannot continue as planned. Also, students who have internet or device problems may have difficulty. For this assignment, we prepared a short flipped classroom video about a language topic. First, we chose the topic "will and be going to".  We shared the work between us. The assignment was a useful and enjoyable experience for us. Here is our  assignment  .

Introductory Post

 Hello everyone after a long break. I hope you're all well. We'll be back together again soon. As you may remember, I'm Bahar. I'm now a third-year English teacher. On my blog, I'll keep you updated on what we'll be doing in this semester's "Current Issues in Teaching" course. The aim of this course is to develop future teachers into technologically competent individuals in this technological age. Teacher candidates will learn about newly available technologies in English language teaching. They will learn the use, productivity, and usefulness of artificial intelligence in education. Students will learn how to create and use certain technological tools in education. Students will be taught how to provide an integrated education with technology and media. We'll be working on a lot of projects this semester. I'll share them with you. Stay tuned for the next blog. Best wishes.

Instructional Technologies

 Hello everyone, in this post I would like to talk to you about the Instructional Technologies course we took this semester and express my opinions. The aim of this course is to provide technological skills to future teacher candidates. Technology has now become the center of everything all over the world. This course was very useful in keeping up with the times and providing our students with these skills. Since we are language teachers, we have become interested in integrating technology into language teaching. This course was a skill-based course rather than a memorization-based course. We did a lot of activities. Course grades were given according to the technological tasks we did throughout the semester. I discovered the blogger application thanks to this course and I will continue to use this application. In this lesson, we learned about infographic, pictochart, magic school and many other applications. Some of these applications are very helpful for the teacher to create mat...
