Because, those authentic materials can motivate my pupils more. That kind of materials can prepare my students for real life communication. Thus, they can both improve their listening and speaking skills. By the way,course book materials have some advantages. Those materials are level based according to the curricula. They are easy to access and they are safe. The teachers don't have to give extra efort to prepare the materials.

Pre,while and post activities are significant for effective learning. In pre-listening activities we can lead our pupils for the task. We can use drama techniques to take attentions. While activities should be also well- prepared. In todays's session we have seen plenty ideas about it. In the post activities we should let our pupils to produce something according to the listening material.]]> 2022-06-21 20:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2227120349 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2228137038 When we have a speaking activity in my language classes, my pupils usually end up chatting in their mother tongue. To tackle this problem I usually give them clear instructions ang the neccesarry items for the task. When they know what to talk about with their friends, they use the target language more effective. The socond problem is that some of my students are shy and they really afraid to make mistakes while speaking. I usually try to give them possitive feedback to encourage them and also I give them easier tasks to be completed.]]> 2022-06-22 19:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2228137038 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2228140453 I totally agree that the suggestions we have taken away from today can help me cope with those problems. First we really should engourage our students step by step. We should never force them to speak but let them feel free. Even if they tell a word should be valuable for us. By giving right feedbacks I am sure they start using the target language. If we as teacher us English in and out of the class, our students will definitely use it. ]]> 2022-06-22 19:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2228140453 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2229156294 There are different ways to differentiate the reading tasks from grade 9 coursebook for mixed ability classes. For differentiating the reading text on the 9th graders coursebook, we can make two different versions addition to the original text. In the while activity part we can put the students into the groups for the jigsaw reading. For low achievers students we can give the 4th paragraph which is the easiest. We can also extend th task for higher level students. We can use more matching activities for the low achiever, but the completion for the advanced students.]]> 2022-06-23 20:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2229156294 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2229161555 We should set achivable goals for our all levels of students. One of my friend said that we had better give our students the chance of reading with an audio version. Because while reading if they hear the text,they can understand better.]]> 2022-06-23 20:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2229161555 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230404677 Process writing approach is more appropriate in my local context. Process of the composing a text is important in this approach. The students in my local area generally have difficulties what and how to write. Since they learn to brainstorm, write drafts, revise and edit these drafts, this approach helps them to write easily.  My students love working in a group. They work together and collaboratively. Since there is a focus on self and peer correction in this approach, students can feel relaxed and they don't worry about making errors. At the end feedbacks for the final version helps the students write easilly. ]]> 2022-06-25 19:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230404677 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230409460 I think my collegues would be most intreste in Snack Writing in a PDC meeting. In this approach writing little but regularly is significant. The teacher can give a model to be adopted. The teacher can put the students in a group according to their intrests to let them work together. Writing tasks can be organized challenging. All the students should give reactions to their writings. Peer correction is also important.]]> 2022-06-25 19:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230409460 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230416482 Whatever we teach, I believe the most important thing is motivating our students. If our students don't have an inetrest in learning grammar, they want to see the reason why they should learn it. We should engage them in a discussion to show the reasons why they sould learn grammar. Students loves discovering, so we shouldn't give grammar items explicitly, but impilicitly. In explicit teaching, teacher gives the meaning, form, and pronounciation. However in implicit teaching students discover the grammar point. In MFP(meaning,form,pronounciation), concept checking questions are important to understand whether our students get the point right or not. MFP is one of the most effective way of checking the understanding. They are usually Yes/No questions. Older students love real world incidents. Therefore we can give grammar through a text related to their intrests. ]]> 2022-06-25 20:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230416482 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230419513 I think they would want to disscuss about deductive or inductive methods. Because most of the teachers in my local area use deductive method in grammar teaching. They believe students need direct and explicit teaching of grammar rules. However we should focus on develop our students' communicative abilities. Our students should learn grammar ımplicitly. They should discover the main points by rhemselves. If really needed we can also tteach deductively.]]> 2022-06-25 20:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230419513 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230424765 New words should be introduced in effective ways to take the students' attention and place them in their long term memories. We should teach the vocabuaries in memorable ways. We should teach a word by giving its meaning, word class, collocation, connotation, pronounciation, spelling, register, and synonyms/antonyms. Students need to know more than the meaning of a new words. We can use pictures, flash cards, word assosiation, brainstorming. Interacting with students through games is a fun way of learning vocabulary ]]> 2022-06-25 21:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230424765 ppekergin https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230425513 As all we know being organized makes our lives easier. When it comes to having a vocabulary notebooks, it is the same. Having a large vocabulary knowladge is one of the most important issue in learning a language. Our pupils can organize their own vocabulary notebook in topics such as clothing, food, shopping, etc. They can leave extra space to take notes about each words. They can add the meanin, register, pronounciation, etc. To make it more attractive, they can use color codes. We should remind our students that having organized study materials is the key to success. ]]> 2022-06-25 21:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230425513 https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230685749 To be a part of this community will help me to come together with my colleagues in my local area.

Forexample I can differentiate the tasks for the suitable levels. I can help my pupils perform at their own level. I also help them to improve their learning.  ]]> 2022-06-26 16:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ppekergin/vubthjpnfjbcbz5z/wish/2230693206
