English With Erva

Helloo my dear reader welcomee! 💫💗    Today our task is to design an artificial intelligence (AI)- integrated teaching material preparation. As you know, AI has entered every aspect of our lives. We see both positive and negative effects in every field, from health to mathematics, from art to sports. What interests us is how it is used in education and language field. 📝💻💹 We use both various applications and activities in our lessons. They say that artificial intelligence will replace many professions, including teaching. However, those who believe that teaching is just entering and leaving classes support this idea. Because as it is known, teaching is a sacred profession and nothing can replace it. Beyond giving lessons, teachers see and value the hearts and inner beauty of their students. 💕👧👦     Let's come to our task. As I said, this is AI-based task, but this time we make students use it. This task is for ELF ...

 Helloo, my dear reader welcomee! 🙌😍 Today you will learn about Augmented Reality(AR) and will see our project about it.        First of all, let me inform you about the AR. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows video, picture, and 3D models and animations to be visualized in a 3D environment based on elements of the real world. As you can see from the picture above, it transforms digital content and information into the physical/real world. Additionally, by enabling you to perceive digital information in the same manner that you experience the real world, AR opens up new opportunities for your technology to be useful throughout your day. It allows you to visually search objects by just directing your camera at them.  👀📲📷    You can access AR via QR codes, trigger images, markerless AR apps, or GPS location . In games (like Pokemon Go), books, discovery-based learnings, and object-modelling, you can utilize AR. Also on Yo...

     Hello, my dear reader, you are in the right place to learn new information. 👀🔍💫    Today, I will inform you about the flipped classroom approach and introduce today’s task.    Unlike traditional teaching methods, in the flipped classroom approach, students get their first impressions at home about their subjects thanks to technology. Then they go to school and analyze problems and areas that are not understood. Students work collaboratively and lessons become student-centered rather than teacher-centered. ✅One of the most important advantages of the flipped classroom is that students can control their learning by pausing, rewatching, or rewinding lesson videos. Thus, students become more active and discover their methods of learning the course. Teachers cease to be the center of the subject in the lesson and take on the role of supporting and motivating students. Thanks to the flipped classroom approach, students develop critical thinking, ...

     Hello, my dear reader. Welcome again! 💓🎀   It has been a long time since we talked. I hope you are well and ready for what I will share with you this semester. This semester will be about being a person who teaches the language rather than being a language student. This means that I will prepare my activities and tasks as an English teacher from now on. 🎉🎉🎈🌸    Our first duty is to prepare a technology-based worksheet for students that we can use in the classroom. We did this assignment as a group with my friends and chose the topics  ' Must and Have to '  for high school preparatory class students. You can see the  digital worksheet example we made below. 💻📌                  We also learned  corpus use in the Current Issues in Teaching lesson. We learned how to use applications such as CoCa and BNC. That's why we wanted our students to use this information while preparing our wo...

Hello my dear reader, welcome again and last time for this semester.  💫🌸     This duty is  our last homework for the Instructional technologies and material design lesson. Our homework’s topic is a Magic School Character Chatbot and Writing Feedback Tool to better integrate AI tools into our lesson. She wanted from us to choose one historical figure, character or author and ask him/her at least ten questions about his/her life, works.  💭💂👮  After that we uploaded our report about dialog and gave feedback from the Feedback Tool. I wanted to have a dialogue with Ataturk, a leader who improved our lives and our country in a very good direction. If you want to see the questions I asked Atatürk, you can look at the report below.    Before starting this course, I knew that English would be a more useful lesson by combining it with technology but I hadn’t imagined that much. I was both surprised and delighted to see that there were more and more o...

  Hello my dear reader. 💫 This week our duty was to create a collaborative project about a global issue. Our teacher gave us some topics about global issue and we chose the topic of “migration” with my friends Bengüsu and Deniz. We separated our page three part as shown below. In the first one we wrote about what we know about the migration. In the second one we wrote question about what we want to know . And in the last part we explained our questions answers in detail and added the sources of information to make it easy to reach the knowledge. 😌📌📖 💭While creating our page we benefitted from “Padlet”. It is a collaborative writing tool that helped us completing our homework. Everyone who will do a collaborative project can utilize from this tool. It really helped us to see and share our thoughts about topic. Also, while creating, doing your homework collaboratively with your friends, you can improve your 21 st century learning skills. In a collaborative learning group, yo...
