Flipped Classroom for Vocabulary Teaching

-

Hello🙋



Today I will introduce vocabulary video me and my dear friend Derin Created. This was the most enjoyable project we did this semester in my opinion.

We created our video for 4th grade students. Our topic is ‘jobs’. I think our video is suitable for 4th grade students because it is simple, and we know that kids can be easily distracted.

We share the work and I created the video by using Animaker and Derin recorded her voice. Normally 4th grade students can learn around 10 words at once but since some jobs are sound the same as the jobs in Turkish, we used all 17 words in our unit.

Flipped vocabulary teaching can be useful for students as they can watch it as many times as they want. They can hear the correct pronunciation and correct usage of the words. In my opinion vocabulary is more suitable for flipped classrooms because as someone who prefers the teacher teaching grammar, I wouldn’t prefer to have grammar videos. But for vocabulary I think it is beneficial for students.

As mention I use Animaker to create our video and I can say that I like working with PowToon more as Animaker lag to many times while using it. But for young learner target videos Animaker is more beneficial as it has more cartoon characters also it allows you to download your video for free.

Here is our video hope you like it. If you have a kid or younger siblings, they may like it so make them watch it!

Thanks💗

FLIPPED CLASSROOM

Hello🙋 Today I will write about the flipped ELT classroom.              A flipped classroom is a type of blended learning where students are introduced to content at home and practice working through it at school ( Source ). Flipped classroom has both pros and cons. For pros, we can say that teachers save a lot of time for practice, students can watch the video as much as they want. For cons, we can say that it can be inconvenient for teachers as he/she should create the videos for each grammar topic and students may not understand the grammar topic by watching the video it could be a little bit confusing for students especially for young learners. I and my friend Derin created a grammar video about Direct/Indirect speech video. First, we decided what should we cover about our topic then I created the video by using PowToon . Derin recorded the voice.  PowToon  is a web-based animation software that allows users to create animated presentations. ( Source )  For my p

Hello Everyone🙋, Today I will introduced what is Padlet! Padlet is a virtual wall where you can share your ideas and you can even make it a group work or individual work. You can create an account for free and can make 3 Padlets for free. If you are interested you can create your own Padlet here. For this week assignment, I created a Padlet with my friends Tuba and Berrak . Our topic was ''traffic''. Each of us write about what we know about traffic, what we want to know about traffic, What we learned about traffic individually. As I did it I learned about new information and the third one in what I learned part was a really interesting fact to me. If you are curious about it you can read it. Here is our Padlet you can take a look at it. The process was really easy website is really simple. For our work, I created the Padlet and invite my friends to it and they write about their own ideas on it.  It was a great experience because

Hello🙋, Today I will talk about infographics I had created. I created 3 infographics about Web 2.0 tools. Web 2.0 tools I write about are Forvo, Grammarly and Padlet(I already write about this tool so you can read it here ). In my infographics, I write information about the  affordances and constraints of each tools and why anyone should use them and how these tools will improve their language skills. You can take a look at my infographics and hopefully can have an idea about each of them. I hope they will help you to improve yourself. I use Canva to create my infographic. I can say it is not wasn’t an easy process to create infographic and even now I am not sure if my infographics are correct or not (hope it is😅). When I become a teacher I would use infographics for my students because infographics informed us a lot, but for sure I would just use already prepared ones😀. Thanks for reading💗.
