Hello again, my Dear Reader!
If you’ve read my last post, you may remember how I talked about the passage of time. It’s fast, isn’t it? Can you believe it’s been four months since the last time I shared a task with you? The summer (and half of the autumn) slipped away from me in a blink. Maybe because I wasn’t counting the days for assignment due dates all the time. But don’t you worry, I am back with all my due dates, anxieties, and several exciting new tasks!
This semester, I am taking Current Issues in ELT from dear Assist. Prof. Mustafa Polat and it’s basically the continuation of last semester’s course Instructional Technologies and Material Design in ELT, with a little twist. As you may remember, I prepared all my tasks last spring through the eyes of a language learner, but this semester, we have upgraded to being actual pre-service teachers, haha. Obviously I am joking, but there is a true element to it. Year 3 in Marmara University ELT is the year we start to gain a teacher’s perspective in every course and this one is no different. From now on, my tasks will be from a teacher’s point of view.
Once again, I am asking you to stick around for some exciting tasks, Dear Reader. I will prepare technology-based teaching materials using emerging technologies like AI and AR/VR, and an instructional video for flipped classroom teaching.
If you are new and this is your first post, you can learn more about me from my About Me page and you can reach all my previous tasks from the Task Index.
If you were here from the beginning, thank you! I’ve missed you! This year is going to be exhausting, chaotic, anxiety-inducing, and probably difficult… but at least I have you to share my feelings with, my Dear Reader.
Here’s to the passing time, and here’s to learning! Cheers.
with love, Bea xx
