Flip the Script or My Sanity

      If I have to type any definition for any approach one more time, I might actually flip a table. But for the sake of this blog (and my grades), here it is : Flipped Classroom approach basically reverses traditional teaching. Students watch the "lecture" at home via video material, and class time is reserved for active practice. Actually, this is great because it maximizes speaking time rather than listening the teacher. The disadvantage? It relies entirely on students actually watching the video at home (!)  —which, let's be honest, is a bold expectation.      For this task, our group decided to choose the "Hello" unit from the coursebook. We focused on the very beginner trio of English: Countries, Nationalities, and Languages. We created a video lesson that included pauses for student practice and followed it up with an interactive quiz. Now, regarding the process: trying to coordinate the schedules of our university is harder than teac...

One Last Mission: Surviving the Semester with "Galactic" AI

      Ladies and gentlemen, put down your pens, close your 50 open tabs, and breathe. We have officially reached the finish line. No more "Learning Objectives," defining another "Approach," or stare at a blank Lesson Plan template...  I was seconds SECONDS away from malfunctioning like a bad AI. This semester has been a chaotic marathon of caffeine overdoses, colliding deadlines, and group chats that never sleep, but somehow, miraculously, we survived without flipping any tables. For this "grand finale", my peer Furkan and I dragged our exhausted souls together to create a teaching material named "Letter to an Alien."  Our goal was not to let AI do the homework (because we know students will try that anyway), but to use it as a scaffold to improve their work. We transformed a boring, solitary writing task into an interactive "Galactic Mission," where the AI acts as a feedback mechanism rather than a ghostwriter. Students have to write...

Hatıran Yeter: A Movie Review

Resim
    Hi everyone.  In this task, we were asked to draw a path for the audience to get maximum pleasure from the film that we chose. I worked with my dear friends Elif Tezer and Seçil Sırlan. Collaborative writing was a task that really required organization and time management. I think we really had a hard time in this regard. The fact that we didn't have common free time and that I was also working slowed the group down at some point. But I can say that we managed the process very well with mutual understanding and maturity. In general, I think these tasks consumed too much time compared to their contribution.      Google Docs, I think, it is a very nice app. Since I don't have my own personal computer and the mobile version of the application is very inadequate, it was very difficult for me to access the application, which made things a bit difficult.     In general,  I can't say that I enjoyed the group assignments.  Although it may no...
