benefit of AI in Language Learning and Teaching: Doing an interview with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

-

 





      ( Mustafa kemal Atatürk (1932) by: SETA)

 

In this post,  i will talk about my experience of interviewing with Atatürk. The Reason i chose Atatürk to interview is actually pretty simple. Atatürk is the first person to come to my mind when i think about a historical figure who has greatly impacted history. my questions in the interview were about his ideas about his revolutions, the Ottoman Empire's mistakes in World War 1 and strategies he would have used if he were alive in World War 2. Also,  i asked him about his idealized future for Türkiye as well. He answered my questions through Magic School's Character Chatbot,  a website that utilizes various AI features. This tool allowed me to interact with a representation of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

 After the interview with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, i wrote a report that includes key points and direct quotes of atatürk from our interview.

 After writing the report, I used Magic School's Writing Feedback tool to assess and improve my text. I sought feedback on various aspects such as coherence, word choices, grammar, and the overall flow of the writing. This effort paid off, as the subsequent feedback The detailed insights helped me refine my text significantly, enhancing its clarity and readability. 

I could integrate AI tools into my teaching practice by using AI-driven platforms for personalized learning, automated grading, and instant feedback. AI can enhance student engagement through interactive lessons and virtual tutors. Additionally, it can help identify learning gaps, allowing me to tailor instruction to meet individual student needs more effectively. AI in language learning offers personalized instruction, instant feedback, and increased engagement through interactive tools. However, it may lack the nuanced understanding of human interactions and cultural context, potentially leading to over-reliance on technology and reduced development of critical thinking and interpersonal communication skills. Balancing AI with human teaching is crucial.

Lesson plan Using Corpus

 In our recent ELT project, as a group of 4, we designed a lesson plan using the ASSURE model, drawing from Unit 4: Nature and Animals in CorpusMate. Guided by our instructor, Mustafa Polat, we aimed to create an engaging and practical teaching resource. I, Muhammed Emir özbek , Hüseyin Obut , and Emir Batu Özdemir  put great effort into this project. The task involved developing a structured plan to integrate multimedia resources with clear instructional strategies. Our material emphasized interactive activities, focusing on students' engagement with vocabulary-related words of nature and animals. Creating the material was a collaborative effort. We began by analyzing the needs of the learners, ensuring our activities aligned with the lesson objectives. Using CorpusMate's resources, we selected authentic texts and tasks to make the material relatable and meaningful. The ASSURE model helped us carefully sequence the steps: analyzing learners, stating objectives, selecting...

  (Photo by: Vecteezy) Hello everyone. As you can see above, I'm meeting with you to write another new material. Thanks to Our teacher Mustafa Polat and my group ( Muhammed Emir Özbek , Emir Batu Özdemir, and Hüseyin Obut) , i had a chance to use Artificial intelligence to help me with materials.  My group members and I created a material that we wanted students to write about their favourite places they visited. While asking them to do that, we also wanted them to scan the QR code and send their writings to Chat-GPT for their grammar (conjunctions) and writing evaluation. After the evaluation. we asked students to create a revised version of their writings. We wanted them to revise it to a new form with the help of Chat-GPT evaluations and recommendations.  After they had written their revised papers, we asked them some questions that would help them share their experiences with the writings and the help of Chat-GPT. I believe this material can be really helpful in intr...

Creating an AR/VR integrated teaching material

(Photo by:  Italian Dual Citizenship) Hello again everyone! this blog post will be about Augmented Reality (AR). Thanks to my teacher Mustafa Polat, we ( Muhammed Emir Özbek , Emir Batu Özdemir, and Hüseyin Obut ) had this great opportunity to use this technology in our ELT lesson.  Exploring AR and VR in language learning opens up exciting possibilities.  While AR is ideal for vocabulary building and basic skills, VR shines in facilitating deeper conversational practice. However, these technologies come with challenges—from cost and technical difficulties to concerns about distraction and isolation. When used thoughtfully, their strengths can significantly enhance the learning experience.  To create a dynamic and engaging experience, We incorporated videos, 3D models, and 360-degree content, all accessible through QR codes on a worksheet. This approach allowed students to explore the city’s highlights virtually and interactively. To deepen their learning, We develo...
