    Branching Out Ideas: Concept Maps Effect on Memory and L2 Writing
    (2018) Angelakis, Georgia Matthew
    The purpose of this study was to develop a curriculum to teach visual concept mapping and improve student attitudes on writing and the quality of their examination essays. We used visual word and image connections to improve the working memory and language aptitude students and gathered a small amount of data. The study took place during the summer module of an English preparatory program and was voluntary. We developed the workshop and the methodology for students who were continuing the English preparatory program into summer school. We gave surveys and personal interviews to students and workshop instructors after the workshops to ascertain students' attitude and knowledge of the material as well as the effectiveness of the program. Research partners took notes and recordings of the workshops. End of course writing exams were referenced for quantitative data but was limited due to the workshops being voluntary. The workshops were peripheral to the course module and aimed to be as casual and accommodating to student’s heavy workload as possible while targeting specific tasks that they were responsible for in the course and final examination. Further research is needed but the limited data suggests a correlation between student’s inclusion of mind mapping techniques and their ability to complete the demands of the final exam writing rubric.

    Flipped Learning : a Reliable Approach To Teaching English?
    (IATED-INT ASSOC TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT, 2019) Sharifi, Ahmad
    English language teaching has seen a great shift from a teacher-fronted instruction towards more flexible, active, engaging, and learner-centered teaching models that reduce the limitations and issues of traditional teaching models. One of these models is flipped learning, which is a form of blended learning where students learn new content or lessons at home, and do what used to be called homework in their classroom collaboratively. This model, which has recently been developed and is based on Bloom's taxonomy of learning, has been put forth to maximize the quality of learner-centered teaching model. Unfortunately, there is very little research on this newly-developed model in EFL environment, especially in Turkey. With this in mind, this study aims to examine Turkish students' perceptions of and attitudes towards flipped learning through a questionnaire before and after the course. Also, there will be two intermediate classes, one acting as the experimental group in which the flipped classroom model will be administered. In the control group, the traditional teaching model will be used. Finally, the passing grades of the students in the control and experimental groups will be compared to see if there is a significant difference.
