Technology Facilitates Learning and Teaching !






Hi everyone! I'm very pleased to be here again and today i'm going to introduce a web site for you. It's name is English Club. There is no information about the web site's authors or their qualifications. The content is English Learning and the target audience is EFL learners and teachers. The purpose of this web site is to help you learn English or teach English as a second language.








It also offers free English lessons,articles, tips, videos, forums, games, quizzes, chat, pages, help and more for students as well as resources for teachers. Also you can  test your level in English and get help with English grammar, study English grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, play English games and do English quizzes online.




 
As i see the web site is reliable in that accuracy of information. The images are of high quality and appealing the target audience but there aren't many images, too. So, the young learners can get bored while they're trying to learn through this site and i think this is a disadvantage of this site. It is more suitable for adolescents, adult learners and teachers.









In my opinion all EFL teachers should take advantage of web sites to improve theirselves and to get better in teaching English. Because the web sites like this one, have so many materials, handouts, worksheets and lesson plans for teachers. I guess it isn't an option but must for better education system.

What is RSS ?

 
Hi everyone! Today, i'm here again with a new task. I'm going to talk about RSS (Really Simple Syndication). It is a way to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide number of people. It can be used on mobile phones or computer programs. I downloaded it on my computer. So i can easily check websites if there is a new content. Also RSS reader can be used online, too. My favourite blog is Oxford University Press and i think it is a very useful source for English Language Teaching. You can get any idea from this blog. Of course, i recommend this blog to you. Below, you can see the bloggers that i follow:

A Film Review: Mad Max: Fury Road


Hi everyone! Today i'll share a wiki which is about a film review. I prepared it with my partner Beyza. Actually, we haven't had any difficulties this time. This task is quite simple and enjoyable for us. I think, Wikispaces is another efficient tool for EFL learners and as a future teacher, i strongly recommend other teachers to use it. Remember that you should be an inspiring teacher using various techniques rather than traditional ones. I hope you'll like our wiki. I'm waiting for your comments!

The Mysterious Scream



Hi everyone! Here is my first podcast. It is about a short story. Its level is appropriate for the intermediate learners.They can listen it and it can be useful for all learners. My partner is Beyza. We had some difficulties while we were creating the podcast because of the lack of knowledge of technological devices.I'm sure we'll learn a lot of things through this course. So it was an exciting experience for us. What is more, i think the teachers should definitely use podcasts so that their students can learn more easily and their knowledge can be more permanent. I hope you'll like our podcast. I'm waiting for your comments!
