ROBOTIC TEACHERS

Hi! I've visited an ELT website today and I want to evaluate it here for you. I hope you like it! The name of the website that I have visited is ELT-Cation. ( https://eltcation.wordpress.com/ ) The author of it is Svetlana Kandybovich. There is no information about the qualifications and credentials. In this website, the author gives lesson ideas to the ELT teachers that they can benefit in the classroom. In other words, its content is more like giving some examples of in-class activities. When I browse the website, I see the target audience of it: English Language Teaching teachers. She shares her experiences and feedbacks and always finds a new one. She is like a creator! She is also an ELT teacher. So, she can understand what they may face with. She provides them to give their lessons effectively. The purpose of the website is helping ELT teachers and creating and sharing new ideas about teaching English. She's last updated her website last week, so she uses it r...

Hi guys! This time I'm here to inform you about my Padlet project. We use Padlet like we use Blogger. Me and my five other friend created a group and chose our topic as a global issue: fresh water scarcity. We started researching about the topic. Each person in the group wrote about different things like solution, causes and effects, public opinion, general information about fresh water scarcity. Thanks to Padlet, we had a chance to share our opinions with people all around the world. We combined our ideas and our findins in one website. So, there are more than one perspective in our page. I find it very beneficial and useful as for writing freely and communicating with others easily. I think Padlet has a great contribution to 21st century learning because it consists what we are looking for in 21st century learning. A teacher-student relationship must not be limited as class interaction. With Padlet, there is an ease communication between teacher and students. As a conseq...

     Hello my beautiful followers! Today, I'm gonna share my book review with you. I read the book The Royal Game , also known as Chess Story a month ago. The author of this book is Stefan Zweig.

If you want to have a look at it, I leave a link for you. :) I hope you enjoy it and like my review!                                                                                                                                                                    ...

Hello people! My friend Serap Ulutaş and I've tried a different thing the first time in our lives. We've created a podcast about the Smurfs ! It was very hard for us actually. It took our 2-3 hours at all. As of podcasting, I find it very enjoyable and funny. Despite its difficulty, we finally brought about a nice job. If I were a teacher, I'd use podcasting in my classes because in my opinion, it is kind of attractive to the young learners. For that reason, I will use it when I become a teacher in 3 years. If you want to play the Smurfs game, please click  here ! By the way, please  don't forget to visit my friend Serap's blog ! Here is our brand-new podcast!  ↪  https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ufhgd-ab7ec5 Have fun!

The computer is an enormous step in teaching. The development that comes from 1930s to today's world brings about so many changes and improvements.  As a 19 year-old ELT student, I benefit from CALL too much and if it didn't exist, learning would be much more difficult for me. Not only in language class but also in other classes, CALL helps students comprehend the lecture easier and helps teachers give the lecture easier, too. We're deeply indebted to the ones that created and developed the CALL system. I'm definitely going to use CALL system in my future classes for a better understanding and more beneficial learning.

When one says "21 st century", the first thing that comes to our minds is  technology . In 21 st century, technology is crucial in every part of our lives. We can communicate with people from  all   around the world  by means of technology and I think this is crazy! Even if our languages are not the same or we are at very different places, it doesn't matter. Technology just offers us lots of opportunities. Therefore, we can be familiar with different cultures, news from distant places and above all, it makes us all more extrovert. Besides, technology has changed so much things in learning, too. Actually, it is not only technology that has done it but also people change and so, our  perspectives  indirectly do. For instance; goals of education, the teaching methods and language learning. Let's see the changes! I mentioned technology a little much but actually we see more than technology in learning. Especially in language learning , w...

I think technology is the heart of teaching in this century. Teachers are finally accustomed to use technology tools in teaching and everything gets easier. I'm so happy for that. Thank God! You know, If my positive opinions about teaching with technology were a person, he/she would definitely beat my negative ones. I'm very clear about that.  We cannot deny the fact that technology becomes a must in teaching. It has so many advantages. For instance; it makes a good atmosphere in the class and enables an intended classroom management because students want to attend the lesson.  Moreover, it is a big time-saver for teachers. Instead of writing examples on the blackboard etc., they simply reflect them to it. Teachers can open up a video during the class to reinforce teaching. So, the boring atmosphere of the class is gone. Plus, it enables to access other people's opinions about different cases all around the world and broadens the students' mind. When we com...
