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 with our worksheet using the ASSURE model. You can see it down below! We definitely had our hardships during the process but it was all worth it at the end. The most difficult part was using the corpus which is ironic because corpus should be easier to access and use but I guess I’m not that much of a digital native after all, even though I want to believe that I am a digital native since I was born into technology. But anyways, have a nice day!

AR/VR Integration in the classroom?

 Hello! Today, I’m excited to share a groundbreaking concept that took me by surprise, and I’m confident it will amaze you as well. AR and VR integration into lectures. I swear I learn something new and mind boggling every week during my classes with Mrs. Kurt, and technology just keeps amazing me everyday.  During our research and preparation for this project, there were some hardships for sure. My partners Deniz Göktepe and Erva Kaptan also felt that learning block but we overcame it. For instance, we had a problem with the QR code that we put on for the project, we had issues with finding AR/VR integrated videos about our topic since it turned out to be a little 'niche'. Our topic was 'Water Crisis', which shouldn't actually be a 'niche' topic but unfortunately there were limited amount of resources so we were forced to improvise in some shape or form.  In our project we also talked about the climate change which is a hot topic of The European Union and...

Flipped class? What does it mean and how does it work?

 Hello everyone, Today, we will explore the concept of the flipped classroom approach—a teaching strategy that I, too, was unfamiliar with until our professor, Gökçe Kurt, assigned us a group project to create a flipped classroom video. For this project, I collaborated with my friends Elif Karagöz and Derya Geçirgen . The three of us faced a learning curve as we worked to understand what a "flipped classroom" truly entails. We reviewed various examples of flipped classroom models, examined the resources and materials shared by our professor, and gradually developed our own version of this approach. Our professor provided us with valuable insights into her own experiences with the flipped classroom technique. She shared that she had implemented this teaching method years ago as part of an experimental study. In her research, she divided students into two groups: an experimental group, which followed the flipped classroom method, and a control group, which used traditional tea...
