2)in today's  sessions  the ideas  about developing  more active listening are quite useful in terms of giving confidence to students and peer learning .I got the idea of not depending  on only one source and as a teacher I should have the ability  of making my students active learners. Crowded classrooms always can cause kaos but all of them worth trying

Of course I am aware that there are so many ways of getting  in touch with foreign  people but I believe that living in more touristic  district  reminds students how precious is  knowing a language as they at least once  come across with somebody  asking them questions in English ( adress  description) 
2) The ideas or suggestions I have taken away from today is quite useful and can help me cope  with our particular problem shyness,unwillingness, lacking of self confidence etc.I know that as a teacher encouraging  students, making them to believe themselves takes time but step by step they will get used to getting involved in speaking process. Today I have learned the importance of giving true feedback and how it can affect  my students.Also the applications  we have learned may be good alternatives  for making teaching and learning funnier,and leading students  to doing  better.Briefly if we as teachers  go on talking in English during the class and change our methods  according to level of our students we will complain  less  about the difficulty of teaching speaking.]]> 2022-10-20 15:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2349244254 tugcergun19 https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2351085013 1) Today the differentiation we have made during the class backs up the idea of "the level of the text  isn't  important,it's  the task that should be at the right level " of course there are same exceptions but it is mostly true. Changing tasks according to the level of students encourages them to do more.with the reading passage consisting of  fabrication words ( today's session) We  discovered that even if we don't  understand the text we can do tasks which are  wanted from us. So with the true tasks we chose, we can attract the attention of unwilling  students or can challenge the students with upper levels .İt is up to us. Also, sharing  ideas with our collegues  through  "station" was quite enjoyable .
2) I think that the most common problem in teaching reading is students' not knowing the meaning of the  new words and not understanding the text. However; (I will give the same example but I liked it so much ) the  reading activity we did during the class shows that not knowing the meaning of a word  or not understanding  the text isn't  important. True task is really important. I will use this example in my PDC session with my collegues. ]]> 2022-10-21 17:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2351085013 tugcergun19 https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2352349532 1) The idea of teaching grammar  in inductive/ implicit way  would be quite useful in my language classrooms as it make the lesson more memorable and meaningful  for all learners.Because they gain the chance of discovering the grammar  rules for themselves rather than be led to them.Working for themselves may help them to remember it more easily and helps them reach an understanding on their own.Furhermore; guided and freer activities would  help them devoloping their receptive and productive skills.When I turn back  as a teacher mostly using deductive approach I am thinking  of trying to  use  the inductive approach and the examples we have done during the class will help me apply it.
2)I think my colleagues  would want to discuss approaches in teaching grammar in PDC  because there will be techers using classic method(deductive) while others prefer using inductive approach. As we did in the class I am thinking of separating  the teachers into groups and giving them approaches and want them to share their ideas with each other. Than with menti application  I am going to get their ideas about the advantages  and disadvantages of each approach.I believe that both groups  will look at the topic from different points of views and may be use the mixture of approaches  in their classes. If, at least a teacher decides to change his/her point of view and try to use different method after PDC I will have achieved one of the aims of PDC.]]> 2022-10-23 15:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2352349532 tugcergun19 https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2352560604 1)Process approach about writing activities would be the most appropriate in my local context because it provides instant feedback and guidance and gives the chance of peer collaboration. We learn through making mistake and in this approach students can write freely without worrying about errors and get the chance of redraft their writing. I am going to try to make writing tasks more engaging by linking the classroom with outside world.
2) in a PDC meeting my colleagues would be most interested in dijital tools that can be used in writing activities After a brainstorm  I am going to want my collegues to  analyse the approaches in writing with advantages and disadvantages. I believe that they will get the idea process approach as important as product and we are going to look at the ways of doing writing tasks more engaging with dijital tools and ideas we share.]]> 2022-10-23 19:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2352560604 tugcergun19 https://padlet.com/tugcergun19/jufr7yr2pq837j7v/wish/2354305344 1)I think greatest benefit of being in a PDC for teachers is coming together with collegues and reflecting on their teaching practices,identifying and discussing their common problems and seeking solutions together. 
2)Before I establish a PDC in my area I will decide aims and outcomes of the training programme first and than according to them I will entegrate technology into my plan.We have learnt how to use Web 2.0 tools and tried to use them some part of training plan.To make the sharing enviroment useful I will choose the Networks I have built throughout the training.
3) I think the aim of Micro pdc  is seeing the possible problems about planning and conducting and thanks to feedbacks we will have  chance to improve the plan. Furthermore, we will also see other group representations and take notes about possible problems and the ideas we liked.They may be all useful and applicable for PDC. Practicing and being evaluated will be a good chance for us for unproblematic  real PDC sessions in olur local area.
