Corpus-Based Material Design and Lesson Plan

Hello everyone!


This is my first time posting something; actually, the introduction doesn’t count. I hope you enjoy and learn something after reading this post.
 
I will talk about my group homework and explain the process.
 
We prepared a lesson plan based on the ASSURE model and a corpus-based teaching material. You probably don't know about these terms. Let me explain to you.
 
The ASSURE model is a handy guide for planning lessons that really connect with students. It stands for Analyze learners, State objectives, Select media and materials, utilize media and materials, require learner participation, and evaluate and revise. In simple terms, it helps teachers design lessons that fit their students’ needs, keep them engaged, and make sure everything runs smoothly. 

A corpus is a large collection of real-life texts, like books, conversations, and articles, that helps us study how language is actually used in everyday life. And COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English) is a massive online database of English texts from books, websites, newspapers, and more. It stores huge amounts of information about how words and phrases are used in different contexts.

As for the process, we first designed our material. We paid attention to these 4 design principles for corpus-based learning and teaching materials:

1. Test student knowledge

2. Hands-on corpus searches by students

3. Inductive discovery by students

4- Output exercise

Then, we prepared our lesson plan.

To be honest, corpora are incredible sources for everyone, but especially for language learners. Still, learning to use it takes so much time, and even I had difficulty learning it. I have doubts about how students would benefit from a corpus.

I finished another day completing an assignment and sharing it with you guys. Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for further posts. See you later!

Creating an instructional video for the flipped instruction

Resim
Hi guys! I am back with another assignment. I hope you benefit from what you will read. This assignment is based on 'flipped classroom approach'. You may have never heard about it if you are from Turkey. The flipped classroom is a modern teaching method where the traditional learning structure is reversed. Instead of learning the topics in class and doing homework at home, students are introduced to the lesson content before class often through videos, readings, or online resources. Then, during class time, they focus on practicing, discussing, and applying what they've learned. It sounds different in a good way but it has its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages is that it gives students more control over their learning. This is expecially helpful for students who need more time to understand the topic. Another advantage is that class time becomes more productive. Instead of passively listening, students find opportunity to ask questions. As for the disa...

AI-integrated Teaching Material

Hello everyone! I am back with the last assignment of this term: AI-integrated teaching material.   In this assignment, I worked with the same people as my previous ones. We made phone calls. For the material, we decided on an app called Magic School, which we were introduced to last year. We wanted our students to interview a celebrity they like. We designed our material on Canva. First, we designed a page where we prepare our students for the activity by asking questions. Then, in the next two pages, we explained the activity, gave suggestions, and dedicated the second page for students to reflect on their experience. In the last page, we wanted them to evaluate the app and share their experiences. Lastly, we made a lesso plan for the activity based on ASSURE model. Here is the link for the material designed on Canva. Here is the link for the lesson plan . Thank you for reading. See you in the goodbye post!
