Ever heard of corpus-integrated worksheets? Well they are here!

  Hello everybody, today I'm here with a brand new idea that is gonna get the students to become more immersed into language learning. What I'm talking about is a corpus-integrated worksheet. You may ask 'What in the world is corpus?' Corpus (plural: corpora) is a term from the field of linguistics and refers to a large set of texts (usually in electronic format) which is considered to be representative of a language (or language variety, to be more precise) and is used to analyse it. In today’s day and age, every single thing is changing and becoming more and more integrated with technology. I’m not that old but my teachers have never used this type of teaching or worksheet technique to teach me and my classmates when I was in secondary school or highschool so that tells us something!I created a worksheet using a corpus with my classmates Derya Geçirgen and Elif Karagöz , you can see the worksheet by clicking here . We also created a lesson plan that is in accordance ...

Guess what we have for you this week!

 In our Instructional Technologies class with Gökçe Teacher, we talked about video creation. She instructed us to make a video of our liking and showed us examples.  In today's day of age video creation is literally the most inevitable thing a person can do. I'm sure we all were forced to create a video one way or the other or we willingly created videos to entertain or socialize with our friends.  Abdulhamit and I chose digital story telling for our video that we made for this lecture.  We used Roblox, a popular 3D game that a lot of people play for roleplaying, we got our roblox characters to do some really crazy things and we narrated the whole thing as well! The making of this video was so much fun!  But since this is the first ever video I have created and narrated, I don't know about Abdulhamit, I'm sure it has some amateur aspects as well. Fun fact about me, I used have a YouTube account that I fully spoke English and talked about random stuff but my pare...

Using AI for teaching?

Image
Hey everyone, today I'm here with a brand new concept that my teacher Gökçe Hoca has shown us. She assigned us a homework to work on AI tools. She wanted us to speak to a persona created via AI.  The hardest part was trying to figure out how the app that my teacher provided for me worked. It was so complicated but I eventually got the hang of it. The easiest part was asking the questions and getting the answers. The answers were limited in vocabulary though. I think that is one the drawbacks of working with AI. But I guess that's what you get by working with AI since the answer is instantaneous and quick.  The potential benefits of AI would probably be, how fast we can get into information now. By just writing a sentence of your own, you can get an answer that is ninety per cent correct. In near future when I become a lecturer I will probably be force to use AI anyway... But even if I was forced or not I would still use it since it is so convenient and easy. Let's talk ab...
