    Welcome, for the first time.

    My name is Salih Karakaş. I study at Marmara University, Turkey. Despite my lack of experience on this whole blog-writing thing, I do feel like someone who is, deep down, capable of doing it. The talent is inside one's mind they say, you ought to seek it. High hopes, everyone! I am studying to become an English language teacher and currently it is my second year. This blog will have my experiences and thoughts on the topics that are related to teaching English as a non-native teacher and teachers' approaches to students. I should emphasize the fact that sometimes I may go off-topic of course, but this is/will be my general vision. Let's see how this all will turn out.

Anyways, welcome, and nice to meet you!

AR/VR Integrated Teaching Materials

-
      Hello, again     To be honest, I don't even know why I always say "hello again". Maybe it was funny thought but I don't really laugh at it anymore. I'll stop using it I guess. Now that I've talked about this concern of mine, let's talk business.      This week me and my friends Bora and Polat made a worksheet that consists of AR and VR teaching materials.  But what is AR or VR? AR, also called augmented reality ; involves the immediate utilization of data presented as text, graphics, audio, and other virtual enhancements combined with real-life. So, the real world and the digital world is partly intertwined. VR, on the other hand means virtual reality  is a computer-generated 3D environment that allows users to navigate and engage with a simulated environment, closely resembling reality as perceived through their senses.  We found 3 videos and 2 of them has 360 degrees view accessibility. We transformed the links of those...

      Hey, I thought my job here was done but it seems like I am mistaken. I don't know the duration but I'll be here for some time.      This week me and my friend Polat designed a corpus-based material using SKEll.       Overall, it was a fun experience. We made activities for English language learners about the topic relative pronouns. We used Canva like always and you can see our finished product here.                Our target audience was anyone who has the proficiency level to understand the topic and we tried our best to make it interesting by adding bunch of fun pictures. We also chose great examples as a cherry on top. It was a great opportunity in terms of collaboration and as a future teacher candidate it was beneficial as well. Let's see how long I continue this blog thing. Anyways, I hope you like it. See you again.           ...

Flipped classroom

-
               Hello, again...      This week me and my friends Bora and Polat made a flipped classroom project.  It is an instructional approach that flips the traditional roles of in-class and out-of-class activities. It empowers students to take a central role in their learning journey, emphasizing interactivity and communication.     Making it was an easy task to be honest. At first, we thought we could make a unique animation but it turned out to be a task that required a lot of effort so, w e used the AI tool animaker to create our educative vocabulary video and wordwall to create an evaluation game. I did the animation while Bora and Polat wrote our script and then we did the voice-overs. Overall it was a fun experience and we learned a lot. It also was a great activity to do with your friends. Me, Bora, and Polat had fun for real! p.s: i did my best to make a funny and appealing video for the target audi...
