21st Century Language Learning

 Hello my dear reader! πŸ’«

   When I think of 21st century education, the first thing that comes to my mind is learning with technology. When people research things they don't know, they use technological devices-phones, computers…- rather than libraries or books. Even people who say I don't understand technology or phone are actually using technology in some way. While only some of us know how to use technology effectively, some of us do not. In fact, we can understand from today's children that the learning language of the 21st century is technology. When we look at young children, we can say that they are born with the ability to use technology. Even before anyone teaches them how to use the phone or tablet, they start tampering with the phone and discovering it themselves. πŸ“±πŸ’»

   In language acquisition, I think the reason why technology is so important is that people want to learn the language from native speakers. It may not be possible for everyone to meet live, face-to-face with native speakers of that language. However, anyone with technology can benefit from this feature through some applications. We can use technology not only to communicate with native speakers, but also to make language learning more fun and easier. As an ELT candidate, I think that an English language lesson combined with technology would be more beneficial. As I mentioned, nowadays children are born and raised open to the use of technology. When English ​​is explained in a way that children understand, it becomes easier to acquire the language. Thanks to technology, the lesson ceases to be monotonous and becomes more entertaining, and the interest of those who learn language increases.

What is AR (Augmented Reality)?

 Helloo, my dear reader welcomee! πŸ™ŒπŸ˜ 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.  πŸ‘€πŸ“²πŸ“·    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...

Flipped Classroom Video

     Hello, my dear reader, you are in the right place to learn new information. πŸ‘€πŸ”πŸ’«    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, ...

Goodbye Post

Welcome my dear reader last time for this semester. πŸ™ŒπŸ’«This blog post will be about what we learned and what projects we have done together so far.  ☑    First of all, Current Issues in Teaching lesson taught me a lot. I saw how we can make course presentations, homework assignments, and projects more effectively, in accordance with the new technology and in a creative way. I observed that lessons can be taught better with technology rather than teaching them with classical methods. πŸ”ŽπŸ’­ It was very beneficial to both do the projects of this course and use it with my students. I was excited that learning and teaching were more efficient and that technology and applications were doing things we would never have thought of.       However, every beauty has its' flaw. πŸ˜‰ I agree that it is very fun and nice to use, but it is quite difficult to learn how to use technology and its applications. There are countless applications, and ...
