The reason is that students can actively join the learning process  that has cooperation and interaction. But if I am expected to choose one I choose the activity Nightmare in İstanbul. But instead of telling the story as a teacher, I open a video record and  I let them take notes while they are watching it to make the task easier. They start to tell the story to each other by checking their notes and exchanging the roles with the belli ringing. I think this small change in the task will make my students feel more comfortable and confident during the activity. ]]> 2022-09-02 15:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2280884916 yaseminalmilakaraca https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2280919818 I think The subtopics "Pre Listening and Differentiation" of Listening for a PDC meeting will be useful so I select them. Pre Listening task is very important  for teachers to pre teach useful vocabulary, check their level and give clues about the context before beginning the listening activity. By focusing on this topic in a PDC meeting, we can share and develop different ways for preventing possible problems and finding solutions. Also, the topic Differentiation should be the focus. Sharing the ways of adapting a listening task according to our students' level with each other will help us to create more inclusive tasks. During the session of  PDC Meeting teachers will come across and produce many ideas on  Differentiation. All of them will be very helpful for them to create a good learning environment.]]> 2022-09-02 16:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2280919818 yaseminalmilakaraca https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2281515634 The most common problems that are faced in my district related to teaching speaking are those; students are lack of self-confidence, making presentations and they aren't motivated and encouraged enough.]]> 2022-09-03 14:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2281515634 yaseminalmilakaraca https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2281517394 In my opinion the ideas and suggestions that I have taken will be very helpful to solve the specific problems on speaking in our district. Because During the sessions we learned what we are supposed to do in pre, while and post speaking tasks and how we can adapt them according to our local classrooms. All of them will help us to keep the process in order.

On session 1, True/False part gave me a different view about reading. I got the chance of disscussing and sharing ideas. I can use them as a solution. Sleeping Panda can be a helpful and fun activity for ordering phrases especially for the weaker ones.]]> 2022-09-04 14:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2281995291 yaseminalmilakaraca https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2283259488 I like the idea of writing instruction in Banana Dictation. I want to use it in my PDC meetings.

I like the idea of an inductive approach that involves the learners detecting, or noticing, patterns and working out a 'rule' for themselves before they practise the language. Because students of language classrooms in my area find boring explicit activities. They like exploring by themselves.

The students are not good at grammar so they need to be both supported and be free to carry out the task. We can discuss,share and prioritise it.]]> 2022-09-06 14:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2284702913 yaseminalmilakaraca https://padlet.com/yaseminalmilakaraca/e8vk9qsjx1xvz57t/wish/2284704594 In my opinion the most effective vocabulary teaching suggestion is to associate English words with the words having the same pronunciation in our mother tonque.
