It is very beneficial to learn about Different and authentic materials for every level of students. Even warm up day is very interesting and funny I am waiting for the following days of such an education. ]]> 2022-06-21 14:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2226887897 m_kandirmaz14 https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2227145715 Yes I would use combined listening materials and activities but I sometimes make differences on them according to the levels and add-odd materials when we need. But I think authentic materials are more effective because they are from generally daily lives of students and this situation makes them more attractive. 

Yes developing more active listening skills in today's session could be useful especially in classrooms with weak students. this types of materials should sometimes need changes on them such as simplifying or editing. For strong students it could also need some changes or addings on them in order to make them very effective.

Therefore while we are teaching them the target languages we also have that problem with students.  Because of both their puberty and traditional issues students may tend to be self closed and introvert. It could be very hard to make them speak the target language without external help (Digital tools, educational games, extraordinary activities, authentic materials)


2-I think that Today’s activities can mostly help me about overcoming the problem above. Our school is technologically well equipped and each facility is available at school. Activities and exercises are especially conducted by digital tools really work in our school. Alternative ways of speaking activities without technology are a bit limited. However web2 tools which we learnt today are highly recommended for such schools because it can work against breaking the ices on speaking issues of students. In this technological era students are generally interested in such tools so while they are having fun they can learn and produce words-sentences-phrases. So we can make the classroom atmosphere more comfortable for students to speak. Even they can speak target language without being aware of what they are doing then they are familiar with producing words and they can adapt to spek thanks to digital tools. ]]> 2022-06-22 21:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2228193619 m_kandirmaz14 https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2229202318 Today we disscussed about the reading activities in a detailed way. When I think that a reading texts and activities for 9 graders warm up activities and pre reading activities are a bit weak so I decided to add some pre reading-warm up activities like flash cards or make them curious about the topic and want them to make predictions about the text as I had done today. Detailed activities are generally enough for this level of students for while stage Especially in the post activities I think that we should use digital tools at the end of the activity by producing digital things by students. They can use flipgrid, animoto, Voki or I would choose which tool is useful end effective for the topic. 

2-İ think Giving homeworks about the topic before doing the lesson make our work easier because we let students know about the topic and vocabulary items of the text. It would be very useful and make the flow uninterrupted. Digital tools also bright idea for post and pre stage of the reading text. And my friends said that students can produce new topics for reading text I think that is a good idea and my teachers said that subskills can be added or conducted in the reading texts like pronunciation. Thank you for today. Everything was grateful for me. ]]> 2022-06-23 22:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2229202318 m_kandirmaz14 https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2230772646 1- I think in my local area product writing works effectively. Because they are relatively lower students they can need to see an writing sample to produce a new one. Maybe I need to provide them with a draft that can direct to write something new and appropriate. Moreover in my local area the students use applications like snapchat vs. so snack writing activities could be beneficial for them. If I present and attract them to produce sth with web tools like that mobile app. I can direct their tendency to write briefly or comment on sth about the lesson. 

2-I think that my colleagues in my local area are  inspired on or interested in mostly  snackwriting because the young students in high schools generally use applications including short messages and writings. They want to attract their students interest by drawing their attention by digital tools like mobile apps. Furthermore they are also interested in process writing for giving tasks or portfolios to enhance their students’ writing skills during the term. ]]> 2022-06-26 20:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2230772646 m_kandirmaz14 https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2230786532 1- I think the most useful and attractive activities are the ones which could be transformed from the matching and other traditional activities into digital ones that draw students interest. For example the wordwall app provides students with multiple choice-wheel of fortune and we can use pictures for preparing the vocab questions for students. Colloqual activity is an also a good practice for students to provide permanent memorization as a non digital material activity. 

2- We can use of those vocabulary books by giving homeworks before the lesson because there are many vocabulary items on there. Teachers can make use of items on this book by using digital tools and make students use words in a given content. We can want them to categorize or classify the vocabulary items in order to minimize for easier memorization-vocab learning. 

3- Yes for example colloqual activity we did today can be very attractive and entertainjng for students. And we can write vocabulary items on the table and we can make them match the explanations with the ones on the table. so we can maximize and enrich such activities. They can also present vocabulary items by categorizing. ]]> 2022-06-26 20:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2230786532 m_kandirmaz14 https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2230800305 1- I think the evaluation of students are not well organized and it is only made one time traditionally. Students feel generally stressful and nerveous for being evaluated in such methods. I think process evaluation method can be used for students at least for the ones in language classroom, so teachers focus on not only one exam but they also focus on efforts, activities, portfolios and the progress of the students moreover students wouldnt feel stressful. 

2- Self and peer assesment are not appropriate for the students in my local area. Because students are not competent enough for evaluating themselves and each others. We can solve evaluation problems with process evaluation because there are few students in the classes so it is easy to use this method for evaluation. Both it can be fair and effective. 

3-I think that providing rural area teachers with such creative tasks could be very beneficial. It will be a good pleasure and pride for me. 

4- I think that my networks I created here can always help me for creating and organizing meeting my local area. Before İ plan the first pdc meeting I plan to talk with at least 5 of my friends and present them a brief structure of my presentation and pdc plan so İ will ask their ideas and recommendations for the best planning. If our areas have similar characteristics I can want them to provide me a sample for advising. 

5- In the programme we have seen and experienced such things how to overcome the presentational and management issues about pdc like how to engage colleagues into the process effectively and actively and how to make them confortable and more eager to the process moreover how to proceed the lesson via interactions etc. I think If we succeed in completing our task as our teachers did here, we will clearly be successful ones for conducting pdc. ]]> 2022-06-26 21:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/m_kandirmaz14/k2bj5lste59d9sui/wish/2230800305
