VOX POP PODCAST

 Hello everyone! This post will be about the podcast that our lecturer gave us as a task. I chose the vox pop option. That's why I'm going to talk about my experiences while doing this.

 


I made the subject of my vox pop about the COVID-19, which has been on our agenda for a long time. The first difficulty I encountered was with whom and where I would do the vox pop. Because now we are going through difficult times due to the COVID-19. Therefore I just eliminated asking questions to people on the street. The second difficulty I encountered was finding people who could speak English. Fortunately, I solved all these difficulties by recording vox pop with my relatives. We actually deleted the recording 2 or 3 times and made it again. The reason for this was that we laughed during the recording. It was the first time we were speaking English together! Thus if you hear laughing behind you while listening, just ignore it😊. We had a lot of fun and laughed while recording. It was very fun in this way. 

I would give a similar task to my learners in the future. Because it is an unusual and interesting task. One of the advantages of this is that my learners would do a creative, collaborative task. I would also like to read or listen to their opinions while doing this task. As a disadvantage, they may have difficulty doing this and may not want to do it. Or they may not have enough technological tools. That's all I mean for now.   

Here is my vox pop podcast.  I hope you like it. See you in a new post next week!

INFOGRAPHICS

Hello everyone! Happy New Year🎉. I hope you are all healthy and well. This post will be about creating an infographic that our lecturer gave us as a task. We were supposed to create an infographic about online higher education in Turkey during the pandemic and provide tips about how to be successful in online education as a university student. For those who don't know, infographics are easy to understand presentations using graphics, images, and a short text about a topic. You can create an infographic on any topic you want. For this task, I used piktochart web app. It's very easy to use the tool also there are many templates and images that you can use. By creating infographics, you can teach language learners some grammar rules or new words in an effective and fun way. Consequently, infographics are a very useful teaching and learning tool as they summarize a topic on one page. Here is my infographic. See you in a new post next week!!

LAST POST

   Hello everyone! It's time to say goodbye to you👋. This is indeed my final post, unlike the one I published last year . Unfortunately, we will no longer have a course that will require us to use our blog anymore. This course, I believe, is a highly valuable course that every teacher should take since it educates future instructors, such as ourselves, on how to successfully integrate and use technology in the classroom. Since all students are digital natives, it can be said that the existence of such a course should be a must.  One of the greatest benefits of this course is that it enables students to comprehend the knowledge they have gained via the use of technology and to conduct their own learning processes. The fact that most of the tasks given after the lessons were done in pairs allowed us to exchange more ideas about the lesson. Thus, the course was made easier by a greater comprehension of the assignments. Also, our instructor's comprehensive and detailed expla...

FINAL POST

 Hello everyone! It's time to say goodbye to you👋. Unfortunately, this will be my final post. Therefore, this post will be about the tasks I have done so far. Actually, I had little idea about technology integration in teaching English before taking this course. I thought we would try to make the lesson fun by just making different slides for language learners in this course. Fortunately, we did nothing as I thought, instead we did a variety of student-centered tasks. Thanks to this course, I learned how to integrate technology with the lesson and how to use it later. Most importantly, in this course, our instructor set us free and wanted us to discover the tools ourselves. So we were all responsible for our own learning. In this way, everyone learned the applications from their own experiences. Later in the lesson, reviewing my friends' tasks and learning the different applications they used made it easier for me to understand the integration of the course with technology.  ...
