Speak English like a Brit

 March is the "English Drama" month of our project! After having a meeting on it, our students searched for famous English Drama Characters and described these characters to each other during Zoom breaakout sessions. They created an animated character on Voki and recorded famous lines by many English drama characters such as Ophelia, Earnest, Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Algernon, Cleopatra etc. Here is the link - plase see our students' works:  Work of March - Animated English Drama Characters in Modern Times

On 16.03.2021 an international meeting was held. Our guest instructor was Ramazan SARAL who lectured about drama and English Drama. In addition to this, Kamile Gonca KIVRAKDAL introduced us Voki - the Web 2.0 Tool we are going to use. We all had fun while learning. 

 We are so proud to share our students' work: an audio map of London! (Work of February)  The students presented London tourist attractions to each other during an online meeting. This allowed them to practise English! Then, they recorded a brief description via "Vocaroo" and attached to a map using "Thinglink".  Please see the link:  https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1421189753658671105 (The printable map is from https://tr.pinterest.com/pin/505318020661239726/sent/?invite_code=dc77c2a696b347908845f4379cae4b40&sender=566187121811992069&sfo=1 - thank you!)

Nonnative language speakers occasionally avoid speaking in a foreign language. Compared with other skills (Writing, reading and listening), speaking is the least favourite of all for young learners. As English Teachers, we aim to encourage our students to speak in English, sing in English, even act in English via English language, literature, music and drama. Then, we said "why don't we make a speaking project?!" Here you go - our project is " Speak English like a Brit "! Our project was approved on 5th January, 2021.
