The corpus-based teaching materials

-
Welcome to my blog again, folks!

Today my groupmate Çimen (you can reach her blog by clicking here) and I prepared a corpus-based teaching material (a worksheet).

When designing the worksheet that distinguishes between "lose" and "loose," the main goals were to improve students' comprehension of these frequently misunderstood terms and to emphasize how they should be used in both written and spoken communication. This content is intended for middle school through high school students as well as those studying English as a second language. Grammar and vocabulary are taught with the goal of improving learners' language precision by helping them distinguish between homophones.
Students will learn to distinguish between "lose" (to suffer a loss) and "loose" (not securely or tightly kept in place) through a variety of activities, including definitions, fill-in-the-blanks, and context-based exercises. They will also be able to apply this information in real-world situations. The goal of the worksheet is to help students become more proficient in language by enabling them to create coherent sentences and communicate clearly.
However, there could be difficulties with implementation. Some students may find it difficult to apply their theoretical knowledge in the actual world and may need further guidance or examples. Furthermore, differences in linguistic ability among students in the classroom may result in inequalities in understanding. It is essential that instructors address these differences by providing individualized feedback, focused help, and reinforcement of the significance of language use precision.
In addition, given that students may come from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, teachers need to be aware of any misconceptions or difficulties resulting from differences in their previous exposure to the language. Regular assessments and open lines of communication can facilitate prompt modifications to the worksheet in order to guarantee the best possible learning results. To sum up, this well designed worksheet is a useful tool for improving language skills, but its effective use depends on how well it takes into account the particular requirements and possible dangers of the classroom.

Our AI-integrated Material

Hi everyone, My classmates İrem Sıla Çimen , Murat Berkay Bozkurt and I developed an AI-focused material for high school preparatory classes, based on the "celebrities" unit in their books as a creative educational project. As the pre-task, students needed to communicate with ChatGPT in order to learn more about selected celebrities. ChatGPT was asked to create personalized profiles of the students' favorite celebrities for the target task. Ultimately, they were able to carry out imaginary interviews through a post-task on "Notion.so", which encouraged both creativity and AI exploration. This interactive approach demonstrated the potential of technology in educational facilities while also making learning about artificial intelligence entertaining. AI combined with the appeal of celebrities turned an ordinary lesson into an engaging journey for young minds. Pre-task: Target task: Post-task: Sign up first by clicking here. Then access the

Hi everyone, today i'm gonna talk about flipped teaching videos. In today's dynamic educational landscape, the flipped classroom approach has gained prominence for its innovative teaching methodology. This model reverses traditional learning by introducing students to new content at home through engaging videos, allowing valuable classroom time for discussions and interactive activities. The advantages are manifold, promoting personalized learning as students can pace themselves, fostering deeper understanding through collaborative in-class experiences. However, the flipped classroom isn't without its challenges. Students may struggle with self-directed learning, and access to technology at home can create disparities. Educators also face the task of creating high-quality content, ensuring it is accessible to all. My partner Murat Berkay Bozkurt  and I used Canva, a flexible design platform, to create an instructional video about different movie genres. I was ab

Me and my group friends İrem Sıla Çimen and Murat Berkay Bozkurt  prepared an AR/VR Material. Today I will talk about the AR/VR technology and the process of our material. Using AR/VR to explore Istanbul's rich history is an immersive experience that goes beyond standard education. Our content, created with Canva, explores popular attractions such as the Archaeological Museum, Fatih Sultan Mehmet, Galata Tower, and Hagia Sophia. We enable readers to easily explore deeper into historical facts by integrating data matrices. This content was created through a creative integration of technology and design, guaranteeing a fun and instructive experience. Canva's accessible platform made creation easy, and AR/VR technologies brought history to life with an additional layer of involvement. Conventional approaches in language instruction are redefined by AR/VR technologies. The capacity to virtually experience historical places improves understanding and memory, providing a lively and
