Reflection 4

Reflect on your experiences as a student learning English. When you consider the use of instructional technology and media by your teacher, (1) can you identify what steps in the ASSURE model that were used? If the teacher in fact included all the steps,(2) do you think this improved  the effectiveness of the lesson? If the teacher did not include all steps, which were missed ?  Did this omission negatively impact on the effectiveness of the lesson?

 I think learning a different language is really challenging. I have been learning English since I was 10. English is in my life nearly 11 years. I have seen different learning tecniques since 11 years. I remember my English teachers and I can say most of them used tape players, family trees. These were their techniques and they apply it everyone of the class and so on, when I came the Cyprus, METU NCC, I saw additional different staff in learning English in preparatory school such as playing games, forcing students to speak English in classrooms and etc..

1- Analyzing Learners

In prep. school, there were an exam which determines students English levels. Students were seperated according to the result of the exam and we can add degree in it.

    Media and Materials

We watched lots of videos and listened tapes as learning pratices. Moreover, we used different materials such as cards, used for games, projectors etc..
 
   Feedbacks

After each exam and homework, teachers gave us feedbacks about our papers.

2-  After the teachers applied the all steps together, it was really effective for us. I think there was no way to learn it  better.

How could you use STUDENT RESPONSE SYSTEMS like SOCRATIVE with students to enhance the learning process? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using 'a student response system' like SOCRATIVE?

I make homeworks on it at least once a week. I believe that absoultly affect their learning process. I endevor going further for the week's chapter. I want my students to learn it better and see their learning process. I can also help them with such response systems at where they stack in.

Hala oradamısın sen bıraktığım yerde
Gözlerime inanamıyorum
Allahım gerçek mi bu
Dağ gibi dimdik mağrur
Heybeti kalıbı meşhur
Şaka gibi bi durum dur
Daha akşama dün rüya mı bu
bile tutamıyordu seni halbuki
uçuyordu göklerde tersine mehter
bir ileri iki geri şimdi bu halin ne
kızma hayata bıraktığın
ayna bile küsmüşse
sormadın ama sen ben söyleyecem
cevabı daha sende, naber
gelmedi mi senden bi haber merak ettik
mü kaldın mı endişelendik
bu hayat çok zor malum hele yalnızsan
düşünecektin onu başında, naber?

The First Week Assignment Part II

Assignment: Choose one of your METU courses and analyse the instructional technology and media used. Identify the "literacies" being reinforced.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pick ENGL 102 lessons. My teacher was Semra Durmaz Gürhan. In my perspective, she is knowledgeable in lots of subjects and she tried to learn about those subjects to improve our society sensitive and knowledge. She watched videos about many diffirent issues several times via TED-ED, youtube and ask us to research those issues. She used projector in our lessons. In writing sessions, she let us find journals from the internet and she also gave permission to use translate when we are writing in the class.

The First Week Assignment Part I

Questions: How would you describe the current use of technology in teaching in Turkey? When you graduate and start teaching, what changes in the technology in education do you predict? Will the new technology make your job as a teacher easier or more difficult?

Answers:

1-) I think the current use of technology in teaching in Turkey is not enough but getting better. I remember my education history which is about 15 years. I have seen many devices in my education life. I remember overhead projectors, black boards, chalks but these have given place to projectors, new boards, computers and etc. . I know it is not enough for todays world, but also I belive use of technology in teaching in Turkey will be more sufficient.


2-) When I graduate and start teaching, I expect increment in distance education system because many universities started to support this model and many others are preparing to start. For now, this is common in university education but later, it could be in high school education, too. New education techniquies and devices may come up. It can't imagine what they can it be but I know the improvement in technology and it is not hard to say technology is already in education and it will continue.

3-)  I think it is about me. It is about how I use the new technologies. If I learn each part and each detail of the new technologies, I can apply these in my teaching career. I can't even imagine that the new technologies make my job more difficult because If it is so, it can't be a good teachnology and it can't be popular. Teachnology exists to make life easier to us.
