 Well, honestly, it was really difficult for me to design an infographic for the first time. I thought I was at least somewhat hands-on with technology, but it took me hours to even understand what was going on and what I needed to do. 

  I did this for an assignment and chose the topic of plagiarism. Of course, there were other subjects as well, but since I had been learning about plagiarism at the university since last year, I thought it would be easier. Then I realized that I was totally wrong, unfortunately, that I actually didn't know anything and I had to do a lot of research. I think the hardest part was deciding exactly which part of the information I was reading to write on the chart, because it had to be eye-catching, informative and brief at the same time. 

  Afterwards, it was a complete mess for me, but I got help from Canva. I arranged some templates according to my own taste - of course I chose pink-purple tones that reflect me, there is nothing like pastel colors -.

  When it comes to the effect of infographics on language learning, it does not seem to be a tool that is used very much right now, but considering that people today have short focus times and will love digital posters, I think it should really be considered. I think that at least some brief information can be hanged in the classroom with infographics. I'm sure these colorful visuals will attract the attention of children and adults living in the 21st century. I thought they might be suitable to give general information about English or to introduce some language structures. Although they are a bit tedious to prepare, they are perfect for conveying information in terms of practicality and are quite catchy. 

  Now it's time to have look at my infographic, I hopu you like it!

Engage, Learn, Apply: My Flipped Classroom Experiment!

  Hello everyone!  Today, I’m excited to share my experience of designing and creating a flipped classroom video specifically for teaching vocabulary. So let's get started! What is a Flipped Classroom?   A flipped classroom is an instructional approach where students engage with new material at home, typically through videos or readings, and then apply that knowledge in class through interactive activities. This method promotes active learning and allows for more personalized instruction during class time. However, it requires students to be self-motivated and have access to necessary technology for out-of-class learning. Flipped Classroom Assignment and Procedure   In this Assignment, we made a 3-minute flipped classroom vocabulary teaching video. The target audience of the video was 5th graders. We used the 5th grade MEB book to choose the words and theme. The most challenging part of this assignment was creating and editing an animation video because it ...

Introduction  Hello again! Have you ever wondered how to make English lessons more engaged and connected to the real life? Thanks to the technology, there are many opportunities arise for both teachers & learners to provide meaningful context. Today, I'll share how my colleagues and I adapted one of them, corpus research, into a lesson plan. So for the curious minds, let's get started! The Task &  Design Process For this assignment, we prepared a lesson plan based on the ASSURE model, focusing on the correct use of many and much.  The material we designed for the lesson combines vocabulary from the Party unit in the MEB high school preparatory book with authentic examples from corpus-based research.  Additionally, we used Canva to engage students and avoid a boring worksheet.   In the worksheet we designed, we followed the steps of 'Ma et al. (2021) propose 4 design principles for corpus-based learning and teaching materials'. Relatedly, there ...

  Education in the 21st century Let's have look at changes   👀 📕   I'm sure everyone is as confused as I am about the rapid changes in education and today. We don't have to go back very far to see this difference. Just fifty years ago, in the 1980s, when it came to language teaching, audio recorders, books, long word lists and blackboards came to mind.  Now, online lessons, where students and teachers can come together from all over the world, have entered our lives, especially with the pandemic. You don't even need to be in a classroom anymore! Artificial intelligence, online platforms and applications and much more..  Also in schools, these were replaced by smart boards and books. The introduction of technology into our lives has changed not only methods but also the student profile. It would be a futile dream to expect today's children to sit in rows for hours with thick books and long texts. So what should we do as teachers of the future?  ...
