About Me

 Hello! I'm Hatice Azra Yıldız. I've recently turned 20 and I'm living the best times of my school years.

Why? Because I'm exactly where I'm meant to be. Where? Of course, in ELT at Marmara University. I'm in my third year -one more to go- and believe me, I'm thrilled to be an English teacher officially. 

    You're seeing my favourite photo of myself ever. I did my Erasmus last semester in Bulgaria and I had a chance to visit Atatürk's house in Thessaloniki. 

Should I go into the classic details, I try to read as much as possible and I enjoy watching various branches of sports such as basketboll, football and fencing. I really like to spend my time with every one of the people whom I love. After Erasmus, I can say that I've become a travelling addict. I always thought how big is this world and yet we're just tiny little pieces trying to catch up with the others. So, I'll do my best to reach out those to explore where I fit. I'm excited to share this journey with you!

Let's meet much more often than not <3

AI+Corpus Based Teaching Material

 Helooo <3       I'm glad that it hasn't been so long.😌 I'm officially here with my first assignment. It's about a recent topic we learned: corpus. A corpus is basically a huge digital collection of real-life language examples taken from books, news, conversations, and websites. Instead of learning grammar from rules alone, students can look at how people actually use the language in real contexts.      In our first assignment, we worked collaboratively with my friends Sıla- silaghtlyconfusingideas.blogspot.com  and Bernis-  https://bernislearning.blogspot.com       In this assignment, our goal  was to create a lesson that not only teaches the topic we chose but also allows students to discover the rules themselves through real language data. To achieve this, we paired two tools: SKELL for corpus searches and ChatGPT for inductive explanation. Alongside the worksheets, we developed a full lesson plan using the ASS...

Flipped Classroom

 Hey hey heey! How nice to see you again🥰 I'm here with a new project.. For this project, we designed a flipped classroom activity, an approach in which students learn new material at home through videos or online resources and then come to class ready to apply that knowledge. This method is especially useful in language teaching because it gives learners time to review content at their own pace, increases exposure to input, and creates more opportunities for speaking during class. However, it also has disadvantages: not all students have reliable internet access, and some may skip the pre-class work, making in-class tasks less effective. Our task was to create a short flipped video to introduce vocabulary items and design an online quiz to check comprehension. After students watched the video, they were expected to participate in communicative activities during the lesson. We aimed to make the content simple, visually clear, and suitable for 5th-grade learners. Working with my ...

Let's Be Acquainted!

          Welcome to my first ever post🥰 I'm happy to be able to write it finally!!! As I was in Erasmus, I've been listening my friends rhapsodize writing blog posts and how it's the most fun thing they've ever done. Now that I’m back, I’m diving into the course "Current Issues in Teaching". From teaching challenges to new approaches, classroom realities to evolving trends of technology, I’ll be sharing everything from the course. I’m looking forward to learning, writing, and hopefully connecting with others who are on the same path.           Hope you'll stand by and see where this journey takes me.
