From todays session I have learned many thing that I can use in my classroom to apply more active listening activities.  I believe that I can arrange the activities but before I haven’t thought about modifiying  the instructions to enthusiast them to do the activities. For example; they can get bored doing true false activities because it is always the same thing. However , if we change it as ‘ find the lies in the sentences’, they may wonder what lies. It may draw their attention.  Also we need differemtion in listening and we got some tip from our colleagues and trainer about, I think they are useful, I will use them in my classes. By this way, fast learner and slow learner students can engage activities at thier own paces, it means there will be fewer bored students and fewer students who don’t understand. When it comes the clearence of instructions, ICQ’s will solve the problem of finding out whether they got the instruction or not, and be useful for involving the students to the activities. As a result I have learnt many useful things that will improve my taeching skills and I have realised that I have already known and applied some of them in my classes, and this made me very happy and more confident in my field. Thanks for your invaluable effort :)

Today I liked the idea of using paper slide tecnique in my classes because there is no need for special equipment for it except papers and a camera. By the help of this activity students can get summarizing and giving the necessary knowledge skills. Flipgrid was also useful for having a portfolio of students speaking process and evaluating them in one tool. The videos we watched about the speaking was really informative, I will take them into consideration and utilise them in my lessons. Thank you:)

I would like to try all the activities with my students, but especially ‘line up discussion’ drew my attention. I provides an interactive learning atmosphere. KWL chart is also will be included in my lessons. I want to share what was discussed about feedback in my PDC meeting since it may not be done correctly by most of the teachers.  As an example; I sit with my students while they are doing their activity. ICQ questions also crucial for comprehension of instruction. We have to make sure that they understand what they are going to do. 

In the aspect of monitoring and feedback, I have learned something new and had an opportunity to look over my monitoring and giving feedback. I sit with my students while they are doing their activity.  I am going to adapt my monitoring and behave as I am not here but check them silently by walking in the class. When it comes to feedback, I use ideal feedback giving style in my classes. Thanks:)

I am of the opinion that my colleagues would be interested in giving feedback after writing in PDC meetings.

I have no questions now, I will think about it and write it later.

2.      We have learnt that the grammar teaching stages are different from the other for skills that has pre, while and post activities. It has PPT ( Present, Practice, Produce) and GD (Guided Discovery). The grammar lessons should be organized according to these stages. This was new to me because we were not taught how to teach grammar and the thing that was said about it was that you should give it in other four skills implicitly. It was new to me. Perhaps my colleagues would in the same situation with me. They would give priority to the teaching grammar stages. 

3.      I liked Dolmuş game a lot. It was fun and great way to have an interactive brainstorming activity in context. It gives an opportunity for peer learning also. Elicit, Check, Drill, Write will be beneficial for me to organize my lessons. CCQs was also meaningful for vocabulary too. However, my favourite one is Dolmuş game. :)
