INFORMATION GAP ACTIVITY | Parts of the House

    Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to share an information gap activity which you can apply with your young learners. Information gap activities are very useful for speaking. Students need to interact with their partners in order to get the information of missing elements in their paper, or in their image. By collaborating, they complete a task together. At the end of this activity, students will be able to recognize the names of the parts of a house and they will be able to ask and tell about the location of things in a house.


        All you need to get for the activity are:

        Pictures, scissors, glue stick

         Give your students  two different pictures of a living room with different missing elements. Students work in pairs. They find out those objects’ places by asking their partners: “Where is the clock?”, “Where’s the phone?” and they answer, “It’s on the wall, next to the pictures”, “It’s on the chest, in front of the window…” Students cut out the little pictures of missing elements and they stick them on the big picture with the instructions given by their partners. Before starting, give an example of the activity to your students. Do not forget to  monitor your students students during the activity and give them feedback at the end of the activity.

        Hope you enjoy it. Have a nice day!

Zey.

     Hello dears! How have you been? I have great news for you. We had the last presentation meeting with all the groups and our instructors. As you know, I have been working at my dear instructor Melda YILMAZ's PhD research project, 21st century Skills Training and Project Based Learning , for 11 weeks. After our intensive 6-week theory-based training program, we had a 5-week practice and product creation section. In the first section, we worked on various skills and topics such as global language, critical thinking skills, digital literacy skills, information literacy skills and in the second section, we designed a website as a product. You can learn about the whole process by reading my previous blog posts. Today, I will briefly explain our website, also mention about my friends' products and I'd like to talk about my overall opinions about the program.     We created our website on ' English As a Global Language and Its Pedagogical Implications ' topic by using

Career Planning | Creating the perfect CV

 Who plans your career? Is it you? Your family? Your teacher?  When do you start planning your career? Is it when you are a high school student or a college student? When does it end? When you are retired? We found answers for those questions in the second week of Yetkin Gençler . Let's look at those answers together! Career planning is an ongoing and never-ending process which is developing and changing over time. It starts at a very young age, when you start to think about your future in your childhood. So, you start planning your career when you are a school-age child. Yes, it's YOU planning it. Nobody else can plan it for you but they can only guide or assist you during the process. You keep planning it until you keep contributing to the society. The keys to career planning are: - your assets (competencies, knowledge, experience, network) - your aspirations (vision, goals) - market realities (what will the companies pay you for) You should be aware of your strengths and we

Collaboration Skills | 21st century Skills Training and Project Based Learning

      Hi there! Hope you enjoy your week. Today, I'll be sharing my reflections of the second week. It was a really enjoyable one as we had lots of group work included. So, let's get started!     Before we had the session, we had some pre-tasks to do. Firstly, we had to read a chapter from Galloway & Rose (2015) and answer the reflection questions. It was basically about English Language Teaching in a global scale and nativeness of English teachers. After I read thechapter, I realized both native and non-native speakers have their own advantages and being native does not make a person more proficient in the language education. As the writers mentioned, professional qualities are more important than nationality. Secondly, we had to  check the website called 'IDEA: International Dialects of English Archive' ' which includes a world map of all countries with speakers of different dialects. It helps us obtain the scope of World Englishes and recognize  the varieties
