A little trip to Paris

Hello everyone! In today's vlog, I will share the AR/VR integrated teaching material that I made with my friends. Let's first explain what these are. -AR (Augmented Reality): It is an experience created by placing digital elements on the real world. For example, like pointing your phone camera at a room and seeing a virtual furniture there. You see both the real world and virtual objects at the same time. -VR (Virtual Reality): You dive into a completely virtual world. By wearing VR glasses, you do not see the real world and feel in a completely computer-generated environment. For example, like walking around in a game world. I think this technology can help us convey things like culture and popular places in the countries that speak the language we teach to our students. It is a great technology to be able to explore places as if you were there, from your device. In this assignment, we introduced 2 famous places and 1 museum in Paris. We also added a video about the mo...

A lecture video :)

Hello again! In this post, I will share my lesson video. I'm excited because, as someone who has watched lecture videos on YouTube for years, shooting a video in this format for the first time made me excited. We shot a lecture video in accordance with the "flipped classroom approach". What is it? “A flipped classroom is an instructional strategy where traditional learning environments are reversed. Instead of lectures in class, students watch instructional videos or read materials at home. Class time is then used for interactive activities like discussions, problem-solving, and projects, allowing for deeper engagement and personalized support from the teacher.” This type of approach allows students to learn at home in a relaxed environment. It provides time during class time to go over parts that are not understood or to do more activities related to the topic in class. However, it is a method that should not be considered for a classroom environment and student pr...

Lesson plan and material design

Hello everyone! In today's post, I will talk about the homework I prepared with my friends. In this homework, we prepared a lesson plan and a Corpus-based material. We used the ASSURE model in our lesson plan. First, let me explain to you what these terms are. Corpus-based Materials: “Corpus-based materials are teaching or learning resources developed using real language data from a corpus. These materials reflect how language is actually used in real-life contexts, making them more authentic and relevant for learners.” ASSURE model: “The ASSURE model is a framework used to prepare an effective lesson plan. It begins by analyzing the student, determining the objectives of the lesson, selecting appropriate materials, using these materials effectively, ensuring active participation of the students, and finally developing the plan through evaluation." We used the COCA application in our material, allowing students to contribute to their own learning. We used Canva to ...
