With that the fall 2025 semester' assignments comes to an end goodbye... keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky

The fall semester will end soon, and to be honest, I find myself feeling a mix of excitement and relief. One thing i'm truly glad about this assignment is that it is the last assignment of the semester! We split our group into two, but thankfully, my ever-supportive partner, Seçil, is still by my side. we had to revisit earlier drafts and rethought various aspects of our concept. Our project is based on example two about an AI-integrated teaching material to make image creation. So basically, the teacher provides a movie poster generated by AI, guides students to examine it and complete some related tasks. Afterward, we role-played them to become scriptwriters, writing their own movie scenarios. The next step is to transform those scenarios into a poster design by making them their own prompts to AI. The last part is to write about comparing the first poster given by the teacher and their own poster, then reflecting on their experiences of using the AI tool.

final version of AI-integrated teaching material 

Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you ᯓ(virtually) ✈︎

  Hi… Do you have any new things? I have a never-ending list of tasks, but im not giving up (yet). So, the new assignment is to create AR/VR integrated teaching materials. As always, we planned the lesson by using the ASSURE model and designed the activity on Canva. This time, our main aim is to get students’ attention to explore New York City while practicing language skills and helping them to express their personal opinions. The whole lesson was planned around a virtual tour, which is supported by 360° YouTube videos, including two landmarks and a cultural festival. We also utilized Google Maps for the tour of the American Museum of Natural History.

By integrating augmented reality and virtual reality technology into ELT, it is okay to say that the teaching process has been enhanced effectively. This improvement is likely because of increased student motivation and an active learning process, which allows them to explore content (such as NYC) while enhancing their authenticity. Students’ engagement, along with the flow of the lesson, is boosted by using AR/VR tools. 

Let’s sum up the overall assignment, it was completed as we had planned, and i hope so. I believe it would have been beneficial to have these worksheets during my learning process, and I would also cut the postcard part for my memory box. Anyway, the entire task goes with some guided questions to a final writing postcard task while students explore real-life places (ofc virtually). Still, it is important to emphasize that while students may enhance their learning, the teacher must ensure a clear and carefully planned lesson plan if she/he wants to implement AR/VR tools in the class.

Flip the EFL moorssalc

I say good goodbye this November without a chrysanthemum, but at least we have a flipped classroom video, yayy! Okay, it is an example of blended learning, but what exactly is that? Have you ever heard about it? I guess not...

So basically, we reverse traditional learning to an innovative teaching method called it flipped classroom approach. Outside of the classroom, there is an instructional part, while interactive learning activities such as practice, discussion and group work take place in the classroom. About advantages, the content enables students to access anytime, anywhere, which personalizes the learning experience and allows students to learn at their own pace, pause or revisit any part, especially challenging parts. However, we cannot ignore the technological issues ofc. This approach is only possible where all students have access to the internet and need students’ self-regulation to enhance skills effectively.

Believe me, choosing the tool that we should use for creating a video is the hardest one. We looked up each site that our instructor mentioned, but somehow we couldn’t do that properly. So, it highlights the teacher's role to give specific time and attention to this, as well. Our team used Canva to create our video. The reasons we chose Canva are that it allows us to design engaging visuals and facilitates collaborative work to connect with one another anytime, anywhere.

Our aim was to introduce the countries written in the book, and we also wanted the students to learn about nationalities and their languages. We tried to make it engaging and acted as if they were on a world trip and included greetings from each country by adding our voices in the background (it was still fun, actually; one of my parts was Ireland, while I was searching for 'dia dhuit', I found out that it means God for you.) to help students develop their visual and aural skills. After introducing the part, we made two dialogue parts. We provided a complete example for the first one, and the other one was for students to complete the blank spaces. Lastly, we added the link to pre-class activity that we created on Wordwall.

Anyway, here is our work^^
