A 60 Seconds Podcast to IMPROVE the World!!

Ahoy, Me Hearties! 






Making a super short podcast about embracing silence was like a wild ride full of ups and downs. From coming up with the idea to recording the final version, it was a mix of fun and challenges.


First off, I had tons of ideas bouncing around in my head, but I got hooked on the idea of silence. In our crazy fast world, we often ignore how awesome silence can be. It's not just about being quiet, it's about using silence to think deeply, stay chill, and connect with others. So, I got to work writing the script, trying to pack a punch in every word since I only had a minute to work with.


But then came the tricky part – recording. Even though I was excited, getting the perfect recording was tough. I had to redo it over and over, fixing my pronunciation and tone. But each time, I got a better feel for what I wanted to say and how to say it.


Despite the frustrations, recording was actually pretty cool. It felt awesome to hear my idea come to life in sound, knowing it could inspire other people.


Looking back, I think it'd be cool to give similar challenges to my students in the future. It's not just about being creative – it also teaches you to stick with something and bounce back when things don't go perfectly. But, I'd make sure to keep it fun and interesting for everyone.


So, here's my podcast.


In just 60 seconds, let's explore why silence rocks and how it can make our world better. Fair and silent winds!!

   Ahoy, Me Hearties! Our ( Mustafa ,  Samet ,  Abdulhamid )  AI-integrated teaching material is finally ready, and it’s been a wild ride! We chose superheroes as our theme (because who doesn’t love them?) and used Canva to create engaging slides ( try Canva here )  with clear instructions and examples to guide students through the lesson.   Creating it wasn’t easy—finding the right balance between fun and educational content was a challenge. But incorporating AI for instant student feedback? Absolute genius! It adds a personalized touch and makes learning more interactive. You can check our material by clicking this:  Create Your Superhero and here is our lesson plan:  Assure Lesson Plan While the process was tough, I’m thrilled with the results.

Corpus-Based Teaching Material (DO OR MAKE!!!!)

  Ahoy, Me Hearties!  Let me tell you about a task we recently tackled that was as exciting as it was challenging. My crew of four; Mustafa , Samet , Abdülhamid , and of course me; created a corpus-based teaching material for 9th graders, all about the tricky duo: do vs. make. To make it even better, we built a detailed lesson plan based on the ASSURE model using our material. It was an adventure packed with learning, creativity, and a few bumps along the way. So, what’s inside this treasure chest of a teaching material? It’s a four-part journey:  Test Your Knowledge: A quick warm-up to check what students already know. Improve Your Knowledge with Corpus: Students dive into real-life language examples from a corpus to spot patterns. Discovery: This section encourages students to figure out the rules themselves by analyzing the corpus data. Practice: Exercises to apply and reinforce what they’ve learned. We designed the material using Canva for its visual appeal and clarit...

WE HAVE COME TO AN END??

  Ahoy, Me Hearties!  Ahoy, mateys! Before I embarked on this course, I was optimistic about bringing technology into English language teaching (ELT). I saw its potential, but I wasn't sure how it would actually work in the classroom. Well, let me tell you, my thoughts have evolved big time! Now, I'm all in, ready to embrace tech to boost learning outcomes. Throughout the course, I dove deep into the tech world through various tasks. Blogging was a fantastic way to reflect on my journey, helping me put my thoughts and observations into words. Creating infographics was a creative challenge that taught me how to present complex info visually, making it easier for students to grasp. Podcasts opened up the world of audio content creation, showing me the importance of listening skills in language learning. The "Story with a Twist" task unleashed my creativity and narrative skills, proving that storytelling can be a powerful teaching tool. Collaborative writing projects hig...
