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 aware of the situation and my responsibilities.

We also did a small meeting with our instructor Melda Hoca, we wanted to show and get feedback on how our organization and process is going. It motivated us a lot as a group. We needed a bit of validation. I hope right after finals we will be able to show her our entries.

So Learnivores, I won't be posting here for two weeks, take care of yourself!

Critical Thinking and English as a Global Language

Last week, my friends from the ELT department and I started taking online courses as part of a research study I mentioned earlier ( click here to see ). We are supposed to write reflections every week after our sessions on our blogs. I also believe it makes the experience more permanent. 1 st Week - 07.11.2020 Critical Thinking and English as a Global Language Firstly, we defined critical thinking. I had basic prior knowledge about what critical thinking was related to. However, after I did the pre-readings and take the test sent, it became more concrete in my mind. Starting the session, the trainer directed some questions about critical thinking, we discussed the questions as groups of four and everyone had their own duty in the group. Then, we shared what we discussed. I’ve learned that critical thinking is an important skill for people to organize their thoughts in a systematic way, find reliable sources of information, express themselves better. We defined strong and...

Let's Get Started, We Will Create a Website!

7th Week - We will create a website! Bonjour Learnivores, hope you are okay! I am fine. This week has been busy as I had some final assignments already. That is also the reason why this blog post is late. Let's start! As I indicated before, the training part is over and this week we started planning our website outlines and discussing ideas. The first step was to decide on the topic of the website which was the hardest for me. We thought about it before but it was not that serious. In this week we did some research to find the most influential developments or factors that will shape the future of ELT as a group. After that, we had a meeting on Zoom to discuss and brainstorm the ideas that could be the main topic of our website. To be honest, not all of us were fully prepared, and also we were not sure if the topics we had considered were suitable for the aim. We were not sure if it was too comprehensive or too specific. So, we decided to consult our instructor. We had thought about...
