DIGITAL STORY TELLING PROJECT

Hi! I am here again with a new thing for me. This week our assingment is preparing a digital story.
Digital story is a story which is supported by images and music. We got 3 options and we choose the one which is about friendship. I worked w/ Kevser in this project. We really had fun when doing it.We use this website. First we created the scenes than we recorded our voice and add it. Also we added a background music. I like the project a lot, this is such an enjoyful activity for me. I think every English language learnes like it especially the young ones. I am sure i'll use this activity for my learners too. It was a bit hard to match the scenes and sound but we achieved it. This is the link of our video -------> click . Please watch it.

See you later...

Learn-english-today

Hello again.

This time i am going to introduce you a website for learning English. This is the website's link.
It is more about learning and practicing English grammar rules.Luckily it is free. It is suitable for all the English language learners and English teachers. It includes many useful things for all age groups and some teaching materials are avaliable in it. It is Kathleen's personal website who is a retired teacher. You can know more about her by clicking here.

Let's have a look at the website in detail!

When open the website we see this page and from the circled column you can choose what is necessary for you. For example you can learn idioms, proverbs, vocabularies....


In the word games section there are a lot of level for learners they can choose whatever they want.
There are different games as you can see in the picture. There are also printable games section for teacher that they can use it in their lessons.




In the resources section there are a lot of sources for learners and teachers. This section like a treasury. Audiences can do listening and learning activities, they can improve their pronunciation they also use online education part for their learning. Besides those the exam preparation part can be very helpful for teachers.



By clicking grammar section under the title of Improve your knowledge of English from the main page you can learn all subjects of English and do online exercises about them. Also there are printable exercices for teachers.




What Do I Think About the Website?


In my opinion, this is such an advantageous website for English learners and English teachers because it offers a lot of learning activities, exercises, games and courses. They are all creative and enjoyable and also they can simplfy the learning process. The best point of the activities is that they are printable. Teachers should suggest the students to use this kind of websites. Thanks to them language learning process can be more enjoyable.

In fact i really like this website but the only think that i find negative about it is; it has got a very formal design maybe young learners can get bored because of the page styles. It hasn't got any images or cartoons. It includes activities for young learners but they are all in that boring style. Visual materials are helpful when learning and they should be used in this website too. 


It is just a brief explanation about the website. It would take many hours to talk about all of the things in it.That is all i can say about the website please check it and use it yourselves and see the informative sources. I want you to inform me about the websites that you know about English learning and teaching. Thank you.
