Corpus-based Teaching Material

 Hey there !, it's been a long time to see you.

Welcome again to my digital diary of exploring technology. Fasten your seatbelts, dear readers, as we set sail into the endless sea of technology. I am excited to share the new adventure with you.

 This week's post is about integrating Corpus-based teaching materials into our classrooms. In this task, I worked with my peer Arda Duraker. We created a worksheet on Canva about health problems and emergencies for our preparatory class students and used SKell to enhance students' knowledge. Working on the worksheet we prepared, Our students will be able to test their former knowledge of the topic and use the corpus to expand their vocabulary. They will learn about diseases, problems, and see how to use collocations about them by integrating technology into their learning process. After this activity we expect our students to be informed about health issues and situations using SKell will foster their understanding of basic health issues, their causes, and symptoms that might they face in their real lives. So that they will be able to express their problems to other people or a doctor and have a sense of how to live a healthy life and give advice about issues by using their problem-solving skills. 

I think using the corpus in this activity will improve students' comprehension and knowledge while helping them to achieve the objectives of the unit. But as a problem might occur, students can get lost while using SKell doing their research and end up finding irrelevant and unnecessary information about the topic but don't worry we are here as teachers to help and guide students. 😊
