Creating Corpus-Based Teaching Materials: An Innovative Approach

Today, the rapid development of technology has paved the way for innovative approaches in the field of education. As a group of four, we have undertaken a project titled “Corpus-Based Teaching Material” in the Current Issues in Technology course at our university. This project aims to utilize language data so that students can use materials more effectively in the process of language learning and teaching.

Corpus is a dataset that contains a large amount of text data related to language use. In our project, we aimed to create educational materials using this data. These materials, which provide students with the opportunity to practice the natural use of language and its meaning, promise to be more interactive and up-to-date, unlike traditional textbooks.

I worked with Hüseyin Obut, Emir Batu Özdemir, and Emirhan Korkmaz for this project. In the design process, analyzing corpus data correctly and creating content that suits the needs of students was an important step. This stage began with shaping the educational material by considering factors such as grammar, vocabulary, and word frequency. However, we also encountered difficulties during this process. The correct selection and processing of data required great care to use the material effectively. Ensuring the diversity of texts made the process complicated at times.

As a result, we gained significant experience on how corpus-based materials can be used in education and the difficulties encountered in this process. We believe that such innovative projects will further advance the use of technology in education.

As every good thing has an end, we have come to the end of this good thing..

  As I mentioned in the title, we have come to the end of this beautiful thing. We have come to the end of another semester and this semester we have seen a lesson the like of which we have never seen before: Instructional Technologies and Material Design in English Language. This course contributed a lot to me. I had the opportunity to improve myself by carrying out projects with technologies, applications and teaching techniques that I had never heard of before. In today's world, which is technologically developing in every field, it is very important to use technology for education. Thanks to this course, we discussed how and in what ways we can achieve this goal. Before taking this course, I was receiving education through ordinary teaching methods, and when I became a teacher in the future, I was planning to teach using ordinary methods. However, thanks to this course, my perspective changed and my horizons expanded. To increase students' interest in the lesson, to ena...

Creating an AR/VR integrated teaching material

Yazan:
 In this project, I worked with  Emirhan Korkmaz ,  Emir Batu Özdemir , and  Hüseyin Obut . We prepared a material using AR/VR technologies. As a subject, we chose to explore a foreign country. The country we chose was Italy and we chose Florence as the city. We visited a cathedral in Florence in 360 videos, and a museum using 3D technologies, we also put a YouTube video about the local food there and we wrote questions about all these to determine whether the students understood or not. As homework, we asked the students to imagine that they spent a day in Florence and write a diary of at least 150 words, describing the places they visited, the food they ate, and the things they experienced during the day. Overall, I enjoyed doing this project and found it very useful for the students. It is quite impressive that students can visit an unfamiliar city with AR/VR technologies in today's technological era. Afterward, students pay full attention to this assign...

Creating an instructional video for the flipped instruction

    In this study, I worked with Emirhan Korkmaz , Hüseyin Obut , and Emir Batu Özdemir . We prepared a study using the Flipped Instruction method. Flipped Instruction Approach is a learning approach that reverses the traditional education model. In the traditional model, the teacher teaches in the classroom and the students do their homework at home. In Flipped Instruction, students first examine the course materials at home, get an idea about the subject, and then come to class. Class time is mostly devoted to activities such as discussion, problem-solving, and group work.This type of learning has many benefits. Some of these are; students use their time in class more effectively, each student has the opportunity to learn at their own pace, and there are more opportunities for practice in class. While doing this assignment, I think we did a successful work with the interaction and fun working environment as a group. We chose “Prepositions of Places” as a grammar topic. ...
