Crafting Corpus Chaos: Teaching Possessive Adjectives with a Twist!

-

HELLO MY ELT PARTNER! Guess what? My team and I have just completed a mission to create a corpus-based teaching material and a lesson plan that aligns with the ASSURE model. Sounds fancy, right?💥

Our assignment was to design a material for high school EFL learners in Turkey. The thing about grammar? Possessive adjectives are those tiny words that add a personal touch to sentences, such as "my," "your," and "their."

The twist is that the content required some teacher assistance and corpus use, which essentially involves students looking at real-life language samples. However, the teachers receive a road plan to assist students in managing the process without falling into a tech-related labyrinth. Oh, and we were required to work in three-person groups. So, bring on the crazy WhatsApp conversations and brainstorming sessions powered by coffee! ☕

Making the material taught us how to use real-world examples to make language enjoyable, or at least acceptable. Additionally, we discovered that 70% of team projects use memes and 30% involve cooperation😸. You definitely should my friend MELÄ°KE'S and EVRÄ°M'S blogs.💖💫

Ready to see our brainchild? For an overview of our journey, see our material from right here.

Stay cool and keep those possessive adjectives possessive! ✌️

A SALTBURN JOURNEY! Collaborative Review Writing with Google Docs Greetings my dear readers! I recently had a great experience using Google Docs to collaborate with my friends Aslı and Melike on a movie review of Saltburn . Our task was to see the movie, discuss it with one another, and write an in-depth critique. We wanted to make an inspirational and entertaining piece for film enthusiasts. Our goal with this project was to improve our writing and analytical abilities, and we had a splendid time doing it! Working together with Melike and Aslı was an amazing experience. Instant communication has never been easier thanks to Google Docs . effortlessly, we discussed ideas, made changes, and provided feedback. The ability to make comments on individual passages and offer edits without affecting the original text changed the dynamic of the game.  For this project, Google Docs was an excellent platform. Everything flowed easily and effectively thanks to its immediate editing. The ...

  MY BELOVED READERS! Hello again❤ I was given an infographic to make, and since I wanted it to be fun, I naturally decided to tackle the amusing subject of cyberbullying. Since nothing symbolizes "fun" as harassment via the internet, you know. In any case, the design process was an emotional roller coaster, there were a number of challenges that I experienced during the design process. Careful attention was needed to strike a balance between the topic's heaviness and the requirement for appealing images. I'm grateful to Pictochart for being my trustworthy journey companion during this chaotic adventure.💣 Let's discuss the advantages now. Using infographics in English classes?
