Article Insights Into Academic Writing in English as Lingua Franca Contexts(Research Papers in Language Teaching and Learning, 2024) Bayyurt, Yasemin; Altınmakas, DeryaIn an era where English is the global lingua franca, academic writing has transformed significantly.This manuscript explores academic writing in English as a lingua franca (ELF) contexts, tracing thejourney of English from colonization to lingua franca status and contextualizing it within evolvingparadigms of English and language teaching worldwide. We delve into ELF research, where Englishplays a multifaceted role as a resource for multilingual communication. Our examinationencompasses ELF’s definitions, diverse users, and English as a multilingual franca. Our focus shiftsto academic writing practices within ELF contexts, scrutinizing unique challenges andopportunities arising from linguistic diversity, cultural nuances, and communication strategies.Through a review of existing studies on academic writing in ELF contexts, we offer practicalinsights for educators, researchers, and students navigating this realm. This manuscript guidesreaders through the intricate world of academic writing in the globalized domain of English as alingua franca.Presentation Flipped Learning Course Design Tool Kit(MEF University, 2016) Kurban, Fell CarolineCurriculum Design, Higher Education, Curriculum Theory, Learning And Teaching In Higher Education, Curriculum Development, Curriculum and Instruction, Flipped Classroom, Flipped learning.This presentation describes the theories and practice behind flipped learning course design at MEF University.Article The Effect of Clil Training on Turkish Efl Pre-Service Teachers’ Self-Efficacy Beliefs and Attitudes Towards Clil(E.L.E. Publishing, 2020) Kassymov, Guzyal; Çiftçi, HatimeThis study aims to investigate the effect of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) training on Turkish EFL pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and their attitudes towards CLIL. For this purpose, a group of 28 Turkish pre-service language teachers was trained on CLIL, its theoretical background, aims, principles, strategies for planning and teaching lessons. The data collection tools included a teacher selfefficacy scale, a questionnaire of attitudes and experiences in CLIL, and semistructured interviews. The participants completed pre-tests and post-tests of teacher self-efficacy scale in order to measure the effect of training on their self-efficacy beliefs. Moreover, the participants’ attitudes towards CLIL were explored through the attitudes questionnaire and semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The findings revealed that the introductory CLIL teacher training had a statistically significant effect on selfefficacy beliefs of Turkish EFL pre-service teachers. The participants’ attitudes towards CLIL turned out to be positive as well.Article An Analytic Look at a Language Course Design Model(2017) Mutlu, Gülçin; Ece Sarıgül; Sarigul, EceThis study aims to qualitatively examine and elaborate on the characteristics of the course design model devised by Graves (2000). Drawing upon the traditional components and principals of instructional design, Graves' course design model is innovative or different in that it has been more specially developed for language course design purposes and thus is believed to be more suited to the nature of language courses with its consideration of the main elements or characteristics of language teaching and learning processes. This descriptive study centers upon the seven main examination criteria, which are in fact the main procedures as suggested by Graves (2000). These are a) defining context, b) conceptualizing content, c) organizing the course, d) formulating goals and objectives, e) assessing needs, f) developing materials and finally g) designing an assessment plan. In this essence, each criterion was first introduced and explained in detail before the researchers extend their critical outlook into the functionality and practical use of the relevant steps and strategies recommended by Graves (2000). This critical analysis and review on the Graves' course design model revealed that the model employs the traditional components of the ADDIE generic and lends itself well also to be used in the other disciplines other than foreign languages. The final part of this report will provide suggestions as regards the potential application of the model specifically in English language curriculum development and more broadly in the curriculum and course development procedures pertaining to other discipline areas.Article University Within School: What Are the Pre-Service English Language Teachers and Their Mentors Perceptions?(2017) Tekiner Tolu, Aylin; Doyran, FeyzaThe aim of this qualitative case study is to understand how pre-service English language teachers and their mentors at coordinating schools perceive the University within School model. In this teacher education model, undergraduate students start school visits beginning in their first semester with a few school visits. The number of exposure hour and expected tasks increase by time. In the second year, students attend the schools one full day a week mostly focusing on observation and in the third year they spend two full days at schools as teacher assistants. Specifically, this study focused on to identify the perceived advantages and challenges encountered by the teacher candidates and the mentor teachers. The participants of this study were 4 mentor teachers and 34 pre-service ELT teachers studying at the English Language Department at a foundation university in İstanbul. Data sources included an online survey for the mentors and pre-service teachers and weekly written reflections of the pre-service teachers. Content analysis was implemented on reflections and open-ended survey questions. The data were coded and themes were reached by two raters. The overall results depict crucial benefits of this model for pre-service teacher students' in their journey to becoming effective language teachers. The mentor teachers also underlined the effectiveness of this model and emphasized that it would be better for them to receive a training on mentoring.Conference Object Storybird: an Inspiring Reading and Writing Tool(2017) Tekiner Tolu, AylinIn this workshop, the presenter will introduce an online writing/reading tool, Storybird, which is a totally free online tool, used by more than 5 millions of students and 400.000 K-12 schools in all around the world. It is user-friendly, boosts students' motivation and creativity to write with its rich artwork collection library. It can be used at any grade level from kindergarten to higher education. Storybird is an interactive tool where students, teachers and parents can be all involved in learning and sharing process with the help of comment, email, and share features. In addition, students can work collaboratively in writing. By the end of this workshop, the participants will be able to set-up a classroom account, create assignments, add items for reading to class library, check students' writings, grade and comment on them. The participants are expected to bring their laptop or tablets (with wifi connection).Conference Object Okulda Üniversite Modeli Çerçevesinde Matematik Öğretimi: Öğrencilerin Derse Katılımının Artırılması(Sabancı Üniversitesi, 2015) Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Aydın, Utkun; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Birgili, Bengi; Özcan, Mustafa; Akbal, Kenan; Mermer, AtaÇalışmanın amacı, öğrencilere daha fazla olanak sağlayarak Matematik derslerinde tartışma ortamı yaratmak, matematiği sevdirmek, Matematik derslerine duyulan korku ve endişeyi azaltmak ve “Matematik dersinde başarılı olabilirim” düşüncesini aşılamaktır. Bu proje kapsamında dersler için bir tartışma kültürü yaratma programı geliştirilmiş ve uygulanmış, çocuklardan haftalık matematik dersi ile ilgili yansıtıcı düşüncelerini yazdıkları matematik günlükleri istenmiş, ayrıca başarısı düşük ve/veya istekli öğrencilere üniversite öğrencilerinden oluşan bir ekip de birebir ek ders vererek her yönden çocuklar desteklenmiştir. Projede yer alan dört araştırmacı öğretmen ortak haftalık ders planlaması yapıp, bu planları uygulayarak sonrasında ders akışı, içeriği ve sınıf yönetimi hakkında değerlendirme yapmıştır.
