Closer to the Product!

10th Week - Closer to the Product!

Hola everyone! I hope you are feeling great, your mental and physical health is stable. Otherwise, nothing works. The last two weeks were so hard for me to focus and stay resilient. We also gave a break for the finals to focus easily on our projects. Our deadline is also getting closer. Let's check what we have done last two weeks.

We started to collect information and share it with each other. We tried to keep our work as collaborative as possible. As we can't gather face-to-face, I believe the motivation level is also hard to keep. It is easier to feel demotivated or team members have more tendency to procrastinate. Mostly it is a result of miscommunication. I felt that a bit in our group since we couldn't meet very often and now we have little time to realize all the plans. I am so excited but I hope our group will refresh and finish all the entries on time.

For next week we are planning to focus on possible drawbacks and solutions to technology use in language learning. Until next week, take care :)

I'm so busy but also excited and hopeful about the new year :) I am sure that no one would say 2020 was the best but I think it taught a lot and gave everyone a chance to listen and reflect on themselves. SO, let's get down to business! This week before the Zoom sessions, we reflected on some video interviews with David Crystal, individually. The main idea of the interviews was not new for us, they were sort of a follow-up for the topics we discussed earlier such as native-speakerism, dialects and accents, pedagogical implications of World Englishes, and challenges. Although I thought that the activities kind of repeating themselves, then I realized I haven't thought that deeply about what should change in the classroom. Also after watching the video 'The Myth of the Native Speaker' I learned that the native speaker doesn't e...

Working on the Website Entries

9th Week - Working on the Website Entries Asalaam Alaikum dear Learnivores. The Arabic 'hello' means that 'may the peace be upon you', did you know that? Peaceful days, friends. It is finals week so I hope that peace will also be upon me. In this week's entry, I will keep you short as we as a group did not do much new. Last week we started to search on our topics and we keep searching and writing some outlines. Our instructor let us give some break to focus on our finals and then do the remaining work more efficiently. Our group decided to keep doing some searches also in finals week as we didn't want to move away and prepare our website on time. I will be updating you later on. This week, we have been given a few reflection questions about the validity of our searches and materials, and also some tools that may be helpful for our search. It was a bit hard to answer and it is slowly settling for me to act suspicious about the resource I found. It made me more ...
