CORPUS-BASED TEACHING MATERIAL!

Using corpus as an educational tool! 

Hi there, dear reader!

Today I want to share our fun journey creating a worksheet and lesson plan as a group work focusing on the verbs "get" and "take." Trust me, it was quite the adventure!


The Task and Our Awesome Material

So, what did we do? We designed a worksheet to help preparatory school students master the tricky differences between "get" and "take." Here's the scoop: we gave them a short story filled with blanks where they had to choose the right verb. But before diving into the story, the students did some detective work using a corpus (a big collection of texts) to see how these verbs are used in real life. After filling in the blanks, they listened to the story to check their answers. Cool, right? I'll include the worksheet at the end of this post, so stay tuned dear reader!


Data-Driven Learning

Using a corpus as a tool for data-driven learning has huge benefits. It allows students to see real-life usage examples, making the learning experience more authentic and practical. This method helps students understand the context and nuances of language, which is super valuable.

Our Rollercoaster Ride

Creating this material was both fun and challenging. We wanted the story to be engaging and the blanks to make sense contextually. Balancing difficulty and comprehension was a bit like walking a tightrope, but we managed to pull it off!

All in all, this project was a blast and a learning curve. It taught us a lot about designing educational material and considering the dynamics of a classroom. We hope our worksheet will help students have a fun and effective learning experience with "get" and "take."

Thanks for sticking around, dear reader! Until next time, happy teaching and learning!

Here's what we created together:

CREATIVE WAY TO LEARN: INFOGRAPHIC!

Let's talk about something creative, shall we?🎉   Hello dear reader, welcome back! Today's topic is infographics, which we discussed in my Instructional Technologies and Material Design course. I am still unfamiliar with this term, but it has already caught my interest, and I have already made my first attempt. I will share it at the end of the text so please keep reading 😎 Our instructor gave us some terms related to ethical and legal issues in technology use and asked us to prepare an infographic on the term of our choice. At the beginning, I was a bit scared of this task, but as I started doing it, I realized it wasn't difficult at all. Hey there, dear reader, I'll walk you through the whole process, maybe you'll want to try out this teaching technique too, who knows? 💪 I think creating infographics is a great way to teach some info to the audience we're adressing. It is especially useful for people like me who have a strong visual memory. While I am sure ...

  Artificial Intelligence Hello dear reader, I hope everything is okay! The purpose of our task this week is to examine artificial intelligence from both a student and teacher perspective. It's hard not to get excited when it comes to artificial intelligence!🥳 With your permission, I would like to tell you about the details of my homework. Our task is to chat and interview a character we choose using Magic School, an artificial intelligence tool. And I chatted with my favorite artist Vincent Van Gogh! Isn't it great?💖   AI from student perspective I used AI as a student in the first part of my work and had a very enjoyable interview. I consider Magic School's Character Chatbot as an activity that students, regardless of age, will definitely have fun with. Dear reader, I definitely think that the use of AI is a very valuable educational tool for students, when it is applied in an educational way, as in this assignment. I believe that it is a wonderful language support tool...
