1- A PLC Facilitator is supposed to

Conduct PLC meetings regulary and effectively,

Actively collaborate with other English Teachers and share experiences,

Identify their common problems,

Seek solutions to those problems together.

2- I think being a facilitator is inspiring and motivating. It will give me a chance to refresh myself and get together with my collegues for something essential.

3- I have met many new collegues and we come to an agreement that we will be keep in touch to share our experiences.

Besides, I followed some pages on Instagram and Facebook which are founded to share experiences on PLCs.

4- Actually I don’t have any questions right now. I felt a bit hesitated before this session, but now I’m okay. And also, knowing that we are not alone and will be supported by our trainers made me relaxed.

1- I come up with the idea that learning vocabulary is much more important than learning grammar.

We as English Teachers should consider the steps of teaching a word. If we want our ss to acquire new vocabulary items, then we need to pay attention how we present a new word consideringly their ages, backgrounds, level and interests.

In terms of eliciting the new word which is the first step of teaching a word, we should give our students the chance to find it. It is okay when there is no student who knows the new vocab in English, then we should give them some clues.

In addition I learned different ways of eliciting a word and the importance of asking some right checking answers.

2- I would definitely share:

the importance of teaching vocabulary,

vocabulary teaching techniques,

steps and sub-steps of teaching a word,

some nice activities and games related to teaching or reviewing vocabulary.

A communicative grammar lesson gives students the opportunity to practice the grammar function through some tasks and activities.

Some of the activities can be ‘games, role-plays, and discussion activities’. Games allow students the chance to practice and develop language skills in an enjoyable and low-stress manner.

To make our grammar lessons more enjoyable, music, games, storytelling, funny or silly examples and art can be some great ways.

Day 4 - Reading Lesson Plan based on Flipped Learning Approach

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, I’ve already been interested in teaching reading skills. Today’s session make me feel more confident and equipped.

1- K W L Chart, Flipped Learning, and some good examples of pre, while and post reading activities were important learning outcomes for me.

I got really surprised when I realized how such a reading out loud activity can be a torture for a student. So far I haven’t made my students do such an activity but I could empathise with the ones who are doing that kind of activities.

I’ll definitely use flipped learning (lite version), and most of the pre, while and post reading activities in my classes.

2- Actually Flipped Learning Approach (FLA)make me feel hesitated. Because unfortunately in Turkey, kids aren’t raised as responsible individuals. So using FLA in my classes can rise a lot of diffuculties.

Nevertheless I will use FLA in my classes but its kind of ‘lite version’.

I mean I will choose some of the activities which are more approprite to the FLA. Maybe I will make a quick start on the topic, then I give the ‘pre-class’ activities.

1. I’d like to explore the following difficulty with my collegues in the PLC:

When I am doing speaking session, my students work in pairs and groups well, but they speak Turkish and very little English.

2. My students feel shy and afraid of making mistakes.
On the other hand my other collegues mostly face technical problems and have difficulty in finding an appropriate source for their lesson plans.

3. Students should feel confident in speaking sessions.
Besides, we as teachers should:
- arouse their interests to the topic.
- model well before the activity starts
- give our students enough thinking time.

1.Coursebook listening activities are mostly easy to follow.

They are timesaving for a teacher because they are provided with the coursebook.

They include safe content

2. Students have the chance to be exposed to a real english.

Authentic materials are mostly more interesting for students.

3. I give my students periods of silence so that they can make up their minds and get ready to answer.

I don’t judge my ss

I give clear instructions

I prepare the activities clearly.

The icebreaker activities were entertaining. I had fun and also learned how to adapt those activities to my classroom.

I will definitely use all of the activities but I need to make some changes to make the activity more suitable to my students.

Using online tools for writing is mostly positive because writing activities is usually boring for kids.

The most important idea I have today is engaging students to the activities in which their writings will be read and evaluated by their friends.
