Wiki is an online application that allows users to contribute to or edit its content. It is easy to use and follow also it allows anyone to edit. Teachers can also use wikispaces to create assignments and share resources. We can asking for help, reading our wikis and we can work collaboratively on wiki. But don't forget to be careful as anyone can edit and there may be a problem with its reliance. Anyway you can have many benefits of using wikis.

Another feature of wiki is to develop our language skills by reading and writing. The more we write and read the more we use the language effectively. Also, the others can comment our posts and this may give us some clues to improve ourselves. It is so beneficial way both writers and the readers to use language properly.

I wrote my review about Brave New World. It includes general informations about the book. Its always fun and exticing to share with others what i like. Because when i like something, I talk about it every second. You can find my review in here. Hope'll you like and enjoy it.  

Story Time

Hi Everyone!

I'd like to share our story with you. I created this story with my friend, Tuğçe. Our story is about a girl who is lost and wants to be found. We share our story via SoundCloud. It was the first time i have used it. I think it is a very effective and beneficial way of learning and teaching English. Every teacher can benefit from this kind of websites. I strongly recommend it to all students and teachers if they are looking for something new and technological. It may help students to improve their pronounciation, raise their interest in language and learning. Furthermore it is free and easy to use.

Our story is named ''LOST''

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!

In reality, the story is a dream of a little girl who has been lost for a long time. She's into a well and waiting to be found by her mother. That's why she's trying to direct her mother in the first dream, and she's not aware of that it is just a dream. In the second dream, she thinks that everything is just a dream but when she comes to the well she falls again and she wakes up for the last time. She realizes that she has never been found by anyone.

HOW TO CREATE A PODCAST?

First we decided to the topic and then we chose the podcast tool. We wrote our story which is called ‘’lost’’ then we recorded our voices and uploaded it to the soundcloud.

Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)

  Computers are trending in our century. As we know, CALL has experienced many changes during its history. As the usage of computers in language teaching is more and more common, so the modernization becomes inevitable. There are lots of stages of CALL. It can be summarized in three development stages: behaviorist CALL, communicative CALL, and integrative CALL. You can check it in my timeline.☺
