Hello everyone...How are you doing?  This week we had an interesting work to deal with.It was related to the WebQuest.To be honest at the beggining i found it really difficult,and I thought of it as the most difficult task we had to deal with..But later on when you read some information about how a WebQuest works things get easier.When I started working with it,I found it as an amazing tool to be used in the classroom.So why should a teacher want to use a webquest instead of more traditional teaching methods?First, WebQuests increase student motivation. When students are motivated, they are likely to put in more effort, and their minds are more alert and ready to make connections.In WebQuests, students use real, timely resources instead of dated textbooks and materials that are only presented from one point of view.  Although the textbooks offer valuable information, the WebQuests bring it to life for the students.WebQuests are often cooperative in nature, requiring student...

Hello everyone..How are you doing? My next post will be on Project-Based Learning .After I read some information about Project-Based Learning I think that if we use it ,it will help a lot in our teaching process.Since learning is going to be more practical than theoretical,project-based learning can help students tackle realistic problems as they would be solved in the real word.It makes school mre like real life.It also can increase students control over their learning process or it can also help teachers in serving as coaches and facilitators of injury and reflection.PBL provides the opportunity to learn and practice skills that traditional instruction often ignores -- working in groups, making choices, monitoring progress, thinking deeply about a problem or challenge, and communicating what has been learned. In short, PBL helps students not only learn content but also the 21st-century skills they will need to thrive in a quickly changing, globally connected world."...

After I read the ABCD model,i totally agree that this method is very useful in the teaching procces because  it helps  teachers design the course - the content, the methods, and the assessment, communicate the educational intent of the course to students and to colleagues,as well as identify the resources needed to undertake the teaching and provide a basis for evaluating the course. Objectives should be phrased in terms of what students will know and can do rather,☺ than what teachers intend.Thats why I think that this method is very helpful…If  teachers  are able to identify the audience ,behavior,condition and the degree when they formulate an objective everything will be clearer and easier, not only for the students but also for the teacher. I think that ,whenever you will become a teacher, keep in mind the ABCD model and try to put it into practice.Not only it will be vey useful for you as a teacher but also your students will know better what you wa...

After I saw the videos on youtube of Kagan Cooperative Learning i can say that if we want to improve our teaching process,Kagan structures will help a lot.Firstly using Kagan structures in an English class can show better the differences between a traditional English lesson to an English lesson using these structures.Secondly students can interact,cooperate,communicate and work with each other..So it means that everyone is engaged in the learning procces and everyone can give their opinions.I think that these structures are great because there are versatile and can be adapted for any level,content and situation.The students learn by working cooperatively in groups and by sharing their work with one another...To end it up if we want to change a little bit the traditional way of teaching the change starts from us ,the future teachers of english..Everyone can give their contribution in bringing something different and new...So lets start..!. Wish you a wonderful week and all the best...

Hello everyone!   Since it is my first time using a blog,i want to express my feelings about this new experience.. At first when the teacher gave us a general view of how the course will be ,to be honest i was little "afraid" because i thought that in the end of the course we all wouldn`t be able to get nothing at all..But your first impression is not  always right because I totally changed my mind.. Our first task was to create our personal blog and to post on it..It was a little bit difficult at the beginning but now that I got used to it ,I feel very excited and I find it interesting..Since its a new experience I feel that this course will be amazing and will help us a lot in our teaching process.. I wish you enjoy the subject in maximum and good luck everyone.!
