Flipped Classroom- Grammar Teaching Video




Hi everbody! As I shared before, we learned many things about flipped classroom. If you haven't read my post about flipped classroom you can read it by clicking here. Let's remember what flipped classroom is. Flipped classroom means "Do what you do in class at home, and do what you do at home in class.". As you remember,we prepared a vocabulary teaching video with my friends in previous post. Now, we prepared a grammar teaching video about "must" and "have to" for high school students at state schools preperatory class with my friends Bilge and Hazal. We used "Animaker" to create the video like vocabulary teaching video. However, at the very beginning,we didn't want to use it, as it is not as professional as other tools. We couldn't find how to work on a video colloboratively in Moovly and Pawtoon so we prefered Animaker again. (If you want to create your own video, you may have a look at other tools.) This time it wasn't as challenging as the previous video, as we understand how to use the tool. But, the biggest challenge was that how to put the sentences while we are speaking. Then, my friend Hazal found it. Also, we created an activity to practice the rules. We used Wordwall to create our activity. Students are going to choose the correct option to fill in the blanks You can watch our video by clicking here and you can see our activity by clicking here.

Flip the Classroom!

 




Hello everybody! I hope you are healthy. I want to explain you the topic that we have been learning in our Material Design in ELT class. It is "FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM". I am so excited because, I am going to use this material in my future class. There are many benefits of flipping the classroom, but first I want to tell you what flipping classroom is. We can simply explain it as do what you do at home in class and do what you do in class at home. So, you are going to have enough time to practice many grammar structures and vocabulary in the classroom. Unless we flip the classroom, we will never have enough time to practice. 

    It is time to explain our tasks for flipping the classroom. We are going to prepare 2 tasks which are about vocabulary and grammar. This time, we prepared our task for teaching new vocabulary to 5th graders at public schools. Our topic is "animals". The book wants us to teach animals in a context of animal shelter;however, there are animals such as snake, wolf and elephant. They are not suitable for this content. So, we had to change it as "ZOO". We prepared this task with my friends Hazal and Bilge. You can see our video by clicking here. And also we created a task to practice new words. You can click here to see it. Wait for flipped grammar video. It is coming very soon... See you...
