  For our project, we explored the topic “Reasons for Migration to Türkiye and Its Impacts”. Using Padlet as our main collaboration platform gathered and organized information about why people migrate to Türkiye, the economic and social impacts of migration, and the challenges migrants face while adapting to life in a new country. In assignment, I (Alfredın HOUAHOUA) worked with my friends named Adem Bozkurt and Ekrem Başkara. We learned from sources like UNHCR, the World Bank, IOM, and UNICEF that Türkiye currently hosts over 3.6 million Syrian refugees due to the ongoing Syrian Civil War. Economically, migrants contribute to sectors such as agriculture, textiles, and construction, especially in cities like Gaziantep and Şanlıurfa. However, their presence can also create challenges such as job competition and housing shortages. Socially, language barriers are significant issues, especially for children seeking education. Padlet made it easier for us to share articles, brainsto...

Hello everyone! For this given, I created a 60-second podcast where I talk about an inspiring idea that will help the world, with direct actions. In my episode, I portray a “Kindness Kiosk”, a small stand where every neighborhood can receive or have something useful, like options, books, notes of encouragement, or even a backup summary. It’s all about spreading simple, everyday kindness and reminding them that it’s not done alone. The easy part was coming up with the idea; I’ve always believed that small actions can make a big difference. The challenge was to write a script that fit perfectly within a minute, while still being meaningful and engaging. It was actually really fun to run, but I had to rerun it a few times to get the tone just right. I wanted it to be real, like I was speaking from my heart. Overall, it was a nurturing experience that made me reflect creatively and communicate clearly. If I were teaching, I would 100% give them an assignment like this. It boosts self-confi...

It also contains icons and pictures to seems more understandable. The aim is to help the audiences or readers understand a topic easily, especially students for English learners. I personally selected the topic cyberbullying because, in modern world, people are bullied or hurt online through phones, computers, or tablets.

I wanted to show that cyberbullying is serious and can hurt people emotionally and physically. For my infographic, i used a tool called venngage. It is a website where you can design your posters and infographics. It was easy to use, but i took me a bit times to understand  the face of the website.    Infographics are useful in English classes beca...

  21st century learning is about helping students prepare for the future. It is different from old-fashioned teaching methods. In 21st century learning, students use technology, think critically, and work together to solve problems. This is very important for language learning. Technology can help students practice English in fun ways. For example, there are apps that allow students to learn new words, play games, and speak English with other people around the world. As a future teacher, I think it is important to use technology in the classroom. It can help students learn at their own pace. Technology gives students more ways to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing English. The 21st century is about using new tools to make learning better. If we use technology in the classroom, we can help students become better at English and be ready for the future.
