I can use it in my sessions after changing questions related to my subject. ]]> 2022-10-18 17:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2345593156 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2345630548 Question 1: Why writing reflection is so important?
Question 2: As a facilitator, how can I receive and keep safe these reflections?
Question 3: When do I use these feedbacks? ]]> 2022-10-18 17:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2345630548 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2345647091 I need to ask some questions tomorrow. Actually I listen more carefully when I have questions. 😀 😀 ]]> 2022-10-18 18:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2345647091 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2345663718 Now I try to improve my speaking skills. ]]> 2022-10-18 18:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2345663718 I liked today's work about listening. All made me encouraged to plan listening tasks better and more practically. I will use the task about using coursebooks or using other listening materials from other sources. I found it useful. The method to find partners and change the partners according to given numbers is also appropriate. Although I claimed that coursebooks are enough, my partner convinced me that they are not... mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2347115914 2022-10-19 14:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2347115914 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2347117747 2022-10-19 14:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2347117747 Coping with crowded classrooms is my major problem during teaching speaking skills. I can't give the same chance and interest to every student at that limited time. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349116917 2022-10-20 14:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349116917 Today's lesson gives me an idea that I can listen all those voices, speeches, ideas and feelings through digital materials. Whenever or wherever it doesn't matter... They will feel that their effort is valuable. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349127840 2022-10-20 14:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349127840 I want to use Canva and Clarisketch for my performance works, I liked them more. Because, they are easy to access and funny for my students of 10th grade. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349134073 2022-10-20 14:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349134073 Thinking about speaking skills for real life, I recognized that I should wait and delay my corrections. Self correction is the first, peer correction is the second... And then, I hope there is nothing remained to be corrected... 😀 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349146901 2022-10-20 14:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349146901 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349154109 2022-10-20 14:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349154109 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349167106 2022-10-20 14:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2349167106 The Most Useful Ideas FIRST: Differentiating activities and changing them into lower or higher level ones, that I liked the most and decided to use in teaching all skills in my classes, would be engaging but it deserves paying attention in my PDC sessions. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2350971784 2022-10-21 16:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2350971784 SECOND: Using pages from the real coursebooks as a PDC material is another useful point that every teacher should learn to walk around these insufficient ready to do activities. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2350981160 2022-10-21 16:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2350981160 THIRD: Monitoring participants and taking feedback from them for planning next session better is worth doing. I have learned the ways of both and excited to share them with all my colleagues. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2350990295 2022-10-21 16:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2350990295 In my context, writing responses to the letters that needed advise was the most attractive activity of the day. Because every English teacher that I know complains about the difficulty in doing writing activities and even putting writing section in their exams. They thought that unwillingness of their students is a very big deal. So it is useful to show them they are not alone, this problem isn't insoluble. And actually they will have a chance to feel the anxiety of writing a paragraph in the noisy classroom, that is a real challege I think.. 😅 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351779486 2022-10-22 16:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351779486 Exploring useful websites and applications about writing skills will make them happy. Actually British Council's web site, that I am the most curious about, can be advised if they don't have a chance to get experienced. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351783882 2022-10-22 16:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351783882 I have heard and taken the names of Mindmeister, Wordwall, Liveworksheets, Jeopardy, Paperslide, etc. All of those are very useful and they need to be mentioned during PDC sessions. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351789713 2022-10-22 17:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351789713 I must add NOREDINK (No red ink) application that is also very useful for writing skills teaching. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351792737 2022-10-22 17:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351792737 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351797209 2022-10-22 17:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2351797209 1. I think activity 1 is very useful and appropriate for my classrooms in my area. In this activity I have learned how to differentiate each task and add a digital tool which is fully adaptable by giving the context. For example making tasks for lower students I can add a guessing game before the task, simplify the sentences, find a video related with the material. And then use flip by giving extra visualisation. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2352342467 2022-10-23 14:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2352342467 2. In asking CCQs I improved my point of view. I ask not always yes/no questions but also short answers to elicit the answers for confirmation. As far as I know my collegues want to discuss this issue. It is very useful to check immediately if students understand the point or not . mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2352345211 2022-10-23 15:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2352345211 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2353908993 1. The greatest benefit of being in a PDC for teachers of English in my local context is the chance of meeting and knowing each other. Awarness of each other's problems, seeing that they are not alone, trying to find solutions for their common difficulties come after that. If we meet in a secure place regularly by means of these sessions, caring and sharing are going to arise. That would be the only time we can meet, know each other and interact sincerely. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2353908993 2. I have found some friends here. All of my friends are excited to perform PDC sessions as a facilitator. We all want to share ideas and materials that we suppose to use. During the training, knowing some English teachers throughout the country made me more self confident, too. I can receive a big amount of help from them. Gathering additional support from the British Council, I would get the idea to establish my own PDC sessions in my local area. mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2353940002 2022-10-24 16:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2353940002 mrsyalcindag1 https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2353949632 3. In the programme we tried to understand the main aspects of PDC sessions. It can't be possible this much by means of reading a document. Then we did some activities that we can use and apply in our own PDC sessions. And the most important one is that we observed two of our competent instructors while they were performing the session itself. I suppose that those will help me dealing with possible problems about planning and conducting PDC's in my teaching context. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsyalcindag1/v2vw7xmnekz9znzc/wish/2353949632
