LANGUAGE AWARENESS AND CORPUS

Resim
Hello everyone! I am back for my Material Design course. Today, I will be talking about corpus and language awareness tasks. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a corpus is: ''a collection of written or spoken material stored on a computer and used to find out how language is used''. Corpora (plural of corpus) are a great source for teachers, and you can make your students learn by themselves thanks to them. By doing this, we use data driven learning -one of the best way of teaching a language- which is based on self discovery of students.  Now, I want to show our material that I designed with my friend Merve Mızrak, if you would like to read her posts, here is the link to her blog:   https://mizrakmerve.blogspot.com/ And you can preview our material by clicking here   You can preview the other page of the material when you click on it.

The End of Another Term

      Well, it has been a long journey, but we have come to an end. Different from the last year, in this term I have studied Educational Technologies course. Was it super interesting for me? I would not probably say yes as a person who spends most of his time with things connected to pc and internet. I was -at least- acquainted with most of the content taught in the course. But for someone who does not use computer at all besides social media may have found it interesting. Still, it was beneficial for me as I learned actually how can I use these websites in the teaching process, how can I integrate it to my classes in a fun way, so that students can both have fun and learn.     As this integration was the main concern of this course, I have to admit that it was super beneficial. Today, it is inevitable not to use technology in education, and we have been taught how to use it well as a future teacher candidate. So, what can be boring about it?   ...
