What did we do in the drama class?

by -

    This year, perhaps the lesson in which we prepared the most materials and used various materials was the drama lesson. While playing many games and using materials, we also prepared them to present and use with our classmates. 

For our part, me and my friend Nur Ebrar C. decided to make a presentation about "Seasons and Weather Conditions".

We started the class by asking questions about seasons and weather conditions. After that, Nur Ebrar started to teaching the topic while using some cardboards:


 

While showing these, we also showed some other pictures that we took from the internet to teach the feelings and the conditions of weather. 

    
After the lecture, we made a quick warm-up activity to prepare the students to do physical activity. Then, we matched them with other students to make a group and made them chose a card in which the seasons are written. 

In this activity, we used a drama technique "still image". Students tried to explain the words by creating images. The whole group stand still like a picture and other groups tried to guess the word.

After this fun activity, we made another activity but this time it was for evaluation. We tried to guess how much our students learned in the class. For this activity we used a small ball and throw it to a student then asked a question to him or her. 




Lastly, for my final project, I prepared a lesson plan that includes some activities.

Material Design and Development for English Language Teaching

     The term material refers to the name given to things that students and teachers use to support language acquisition or learning. These materials can be videos, dictionaries, textbooks, DVDs, audio, newspapers, instructions, and discussions.    As materials have a significant impact on language learning, it is important to develop them carefully. This development can be done by teachers, writers, or learners. These developers might write textbooks, bring different sources into classrooms, share opinions or etc. So, how do we know that these developed materials are good for learners' language learning processes?    The answer to this question is "Material evaluation". This term refers to measuring the value of materials. This measuring is done by asking questions such as "Will the materials work?" or "Will students have difficulty using it?". However, just being easy or enjoyable does not make a material more valuable than others, it is also importa...

The Framework of Materials and Methods

1.1 Introduction: Setting the Scene      With globalization, the usage areas of English have also increased. This increase has led to the diversification of teaching styles. Despite the increasing diversity in teaching, many teachers from different parts of the world have shared their methods and techniques with their colleagues. In this post, we will look beyond our individual teaching circumstances to what can be thought of as a professional ‘common core’.  When we talk about the ‘common core’, we should take into consideration two kinds of factors: 1)       - the various wide-ranging criteria on which decisions about language teaching programmes are based, 2)       - on the pedagogic principles according to which materials and methods are actually designed   These two factors make up the 'framework'. Framework, on the other hand, is divided into two as 'context' and 'syllabus' under its own name. 1.2...

       We have already familiar with what this day means and how important it is for women. International Women's Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women (United Nations, 2021). It also has a special place in the women's rights movement for bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, violence and abuse. Women have been fighting for their rights for years. Sadly, every society has not fully give women their rights. Inequalities differs from education to how women dress themselves. That is why, all around the world women are fighting for their and other women's rights. In this poster that me and my friend, Nur Ebrar C., have made we tried to attract attention to the fact that wanting equal rights does not mean wanting special rights.  In today's society, there are so many people who not fully understand the concept of feminism or people who are caught in the wr...
