ESL KIDS WITH MARVELOUS IDEAS

Hello Dear My Readers!

This week, I want to introduce a web site that is for children to aim teaching English with funny activities and also provides materials to tutors. Its name is ESL Kids.This site came into existence in 2006 and the author of this website is Kisi (Kisito Futonge). He is simply a language enthusiasts who likes teaching and learning other languages and also a fluent speaker of other languages like Mandarin, French & a couple of West African Languages.The content of the website includes grammar lessons, worksheets, funny games, flashcards, powerpoints and other materials  for children's education. It provide suggestions for teachers and parents.A bad side of this website is that I could not see a date that shows when the site has last been updated.I trust the accuracy of the information in site and I could not find any errors. The images are provided with a high quality and appealing for children. Children can learn grammatical issues and these issues are consolidated with worksheets that are related to grammar. Morover, children also have fun with different activities and games. They can learn while thay are having fun. Sometimes I have diffuculty in opening some connections but when looked entirely, I highly recommend this website to teachers. Lastly, İf you have any suggestion about Elt, please let me know. That's all for this week. Thank you :)

Here are the screenshot and the link of the website I mentioned about above: EFL

RSS FEED

Hello Everbody!

This week I want to introduce RSS and also mention my favorite blog.

Firstly, I want to start with RSS. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it is a technology that provides you with a method of getting relevant and up to date information sent to you for you to read in your own time. It is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites It’s like subscribing to a magazine that is delivered to you periodically but instead of it coming in your physical mail box each month when the magazine is published it is delivered to your ‘RSS Reader’ every time your favorite website updates.

I use feed reader program.I can add and delete blogs that l want to follow in my feed reader  It saves my time and help me to get the information I want quickly after it was published.I advise you to use it. Here is a screenshot of my feedreader.

Here is the my favorite blog :Elt Diary. Alexandre Chistyakova is an English teacher at Moscow State University and the author of Elt Diary. This blog includes the record of her day-to-day teaching experience her observation and reflections and description of the projects she is working on her blog. I advise you to follow it because you may need some suggestion in future.

If you have suggestions about Elt, please let me know by commenting this post. See you next week :)

THE WIKI TASK:THE REVİEW OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

Hello! Everbody!

We have a wiki task about a review of one film. We are supposed to create a wikispace, watch a film and write our review to our wiki. I and my pair Gül watched Sherlock Holmes. We wrote our views and comments about this film. While we were working on this task, we felt as a part of a team. We learned how to work collaboratively. I think that the collaboration enhances achievement. I think that wiki has both advantages and disadvantages. Wiki is a good website. Anyone can edit and it is easy to use. Additionaly, it heps us work on the same document. When we look at  the disadvantages of it, it is open to everyone and this causes some problems like changes about original content. We hope you will have an idea about this film if you do not watch it.

Here is the link of our wiki website: Sherlock Holmes

PODCAST

Hi! Everyone!

I have a podcast work with my pair this week for Technology and Material Design lecture. I and my friend Gül have written a song about Sherlock Holmes.İt gives you explanations about the story in the beginning of the podcast. I had difficulties while I was writing the lyrics according to ryhme and to be related to its content. However, I enjoyed it. I think that I improved some pronounciation about some words because of repeating again and again.We think that it is suitable for high school students' level and also while we are learning, we should have fun.You will realize that you will see some words are emphasized while you are reading the lyrics. When you click these words, you will directed to a page about these words. Here is the lyrics. We hope you will enjoy it. Thank you!

My names is Holmes

Sherlock Holmes

A genius for your broken homes

But when he cant find what to do

He injects cocaine overdose(2)

My name is Watson 

Known as Dr Watson

A supportive human

But when he thought Holmes was dead

Everything had just began(2)

His knowledge of Philosophy

Also politics, astronomy

is ''nil'' for the book of me

But when it comes to solving crimes

He's an expert cause its his destiny(2)

Being an army veteran

Also Victorian gentleman

A mortal but a superman

When Homes strains to solve 

He's an astute handyman(3)

WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Hi! Welcome to my blog!
My name is Ayşe. I am 20 years old. I am the oldest child in my family. I have a brother whose name is Emre. I live in Mersin. I am a student in the department of ELT in Marmara University.
I enjoy visiting different cities and I like listening to music. Sea is indispensable for me. I think I can not live without sea. Moreover, I did not write a city not having a sea in my university choice. İstanbul is so beautiful that every corner makes me excited. It is full of history and attracts me so much. I have never had remorse so far and hope I will not have.
This blog will include my experiences, works, some tools and some suggestions.I will share some documents about Elt, some notes, videos, links and some activities in my blog. I hope you enjoy. I want to be a creative teacher. As our teacher said, our purpose determines our outcomes. I hope this blog gives you new things.
