2023 özeti: Geriye dönüp bakılması gereken Dil trend ve araç

Birbirini öven bir grup iÅŸ arkadaşı bir masaya oturdu

2023 yılına veda etmeye hazırlanırken, dil öğreniminin mevcut durumu ve bu alanda daha popüler hale gelen çeşitli trendler ve özellikler hakkında düşünmek için bize mükemmel bir fırsat sunuyor.

İster yılların deneyimine sahip deneyimli bir çok dilli olun, ister dil yolculuÄŸunuza yeni baÅŸlayan biri olun, ÃÛÌÒapp ve ötesinde dil öğrenimindeki en son geliÅŸmeleri ve ilerlemeleri düşünmek ve deÄŸerlendirmek için biraz zaman ayırmanız çok önemlidir. Hadi bir bakalım.

1. Dijital dil öğrenme platformları

Dijital öğrenme platformları, insanların yeni diller öğrenme şeklini değiştirdi. Yapay zeka tarafından desteklenen etkileşimli dersler ve kişiselleştirilmiş deneyimlerin yanı sıra her yerden öğrenebilme esnekliği, bu platformları dil meraklıları için popüler bir seçim haline getirdi.

, son teknoloji konuşma tanıma teknolojisi ve akıcılığı geliştirmek ve robotlar yerine gerçek hayattaki konuşmacılarla öğrenmek için özel olarak oluşturulmuş 400 saatten fazla içerik ile gerçek dile daldırmaya en yakın şey olması sayesinde kullanıcı sayısında önemli artışlara tanık oldu.

2. Oyunlaştırma

Oyunlaştırma bir süredir ortalıkta dolaşıyor ancak dil eğitiminde giderek daha popüler bir trend haline geliyor. Günümüzde dil öğrenme platformları ve uygulamaları, yeni bir dil edinme sürecini daha keyifli ve ödüllendirici hale getirmek için oyun öğelerini programlarına entegre etmiştir.

Etkileşimli meydan okumalar, puanlar ve rozetler, öğrencilerin öğrenme sürecine bağlı kalmaları ve ilerlemelerini takip etmeleri için motivasyon görevi görür. Görünüşe göre oyunlaştırma burada kalacak ve öğrenmeye giderek daha fazla adapte ediliyor.

3. Küresel Diller Ölçeğinin (GSL) Uygulanması

Bu yıl, ÃÛÌÒapp'ın amiral gemisi Global Scale of Englisholan GSL'nin evrimi tanıtıldı ve öğrencilerin birden çok dildeki becerilerine iliÅŸkin benzersiz bilgiler saÄŸlandı. Yılı Fransızca, İtalyanca, İspanyolca ve Almanca olmak üzere dört dilde sunarak daha da fazla öğrencinin dil yolculuklarını kiÅŸiselleÅŸtirmeye yardımcı oldu.

4. Yapay Zeka (AI) ile kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenme

2023'te dil öğreniminde yapay zeka odaklı kiÅŸiselleÅŸtirme yeni zirvelere ulaÅŸtı. Dil uygulamalar artık bireysel öğrenme stillerine, güçlü ve zayıf yönlerine göre uyarlanmış dersler saÄŸlamak için makine öğrenimi algoritmalarını kullanıyor. Sorumlu yapay zeka araçları, ders planlama, fikir üretme ve problem çözme dahil olmak üzere dil öğretimine (ve öğrenmeye) pek çok yönden yardımcı olmak için kullanılmıştır.ÌýBu yaklaşım, öğrencilerin verimliliÄŸi ve etkinliÄŸi en üst düzeye çıkaran özelleÅŸtirilmiÅŸ bir öğrenme yolu izlemesini saÄŸlar.Ìý

Geriye dönüp baktığımızda, dil ediniminin geleceğinin teknoloji odaklı olduğu ve sürekli geliştiği açıktır. İster sürükleyici sanal gerçeklik deneyimlerini, ister oyunlaştırılmış dil öğrenme uygulamalarını veya yapay zeka yardımıyla kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenmeyi tercih edin, her öğrenme stiline hitap eden bir araç vardır.

EÄŸrinin önünde kalın ve 2024'te dil öğrenimine yönelik bu yenilikçi yaklaşımlardan bazılarını benimsemeyi düşünün. Yeni bir dil uygulamasını, oyunu, aracını deneyin veya hatta sosyal medyada daha fazla insanı takip edip onlarla etkileÅŸim kurun: kendinizi ÅŸaşırtabilirsiniz. 2024 yılı boyunca dil öğrenme bloglarımızda ve sosyal medya hesaplarımızda sizi güncel tutacağız. Mutlu ve baÅŸarılı bir yeni yıl diler, 2024'te tüm dil hedeflerinize ulaÅŸmanızı dileriz.Ìý

    As a proofreader and editor, I'm often asked to explain the rules of grammar. I answered three of the most common questions in the first post of this series, and now it's time to look at another frequent query: how to use apostrophes.ÌýWhere do they go? When are they needed? And when should they be left out entirely?

    Apostrophes might be small but they can cause big confusion because they are used both to indicate posession and to contract words. But the good news is that there are clear, simple patterns to follow, which we'll explore, along with exceptions to watch out for.ÌýWhether you’re writing a report or just a text message, these tips will help you use apostrophes correctly and confidently.

    Five ways to apply startup thinking in your classroom

    By Nicole Kyriacou
    Okuma zamanı: 3 minutes

    Startups are generally considered to be new, technology-focused companies that are less than five years old. For the most part, they aim to disrupt industry with innovations, grow in terms of users and revenues and provide value to customers and shareholders.

    It may not appear that startups have much in common with English Language Teaching (ELT), but there is, in fact, plenty to learn from startups and the way they work.

    By understanding how startups think and looking at their best attributes, we can bring more creativity to our classrooms. Not only can we find new ways for our students to learn, collaborate and grow together, but we can also help our students develop much-needed leadership and critical thinking skills.

    What is startup thinking?

    At its core, startup thinking is about problem-solving and growth. User-focused and data-driven, startup teams theorize, research, plan and test their products on new markets. Their strength is in their agility, being able to "pivot" quickly: change products, services and technology based on feedback from their customers.

    They also operate on a number of key principles, all of which can be applied in the classroom:

    1. Be entrepreneurial

    Startups are entrepreneurial by definition. Their staff work in teams, but also have no problem going it alone, finding solutions and taking responsibility for new projects and initiatives. These are all excellent traits to encourage in the classroom as they will not only help your learners in an educational context, but in their professional lives too.

    By learning to be accountable to themselves, measuring their own progress and seeing their achievements, autonomous learners develop self-confidence and progress faster as a result.

    It’s therefore important to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning. Rather than being solely reliant on their teacher, autonomous learners seek out ways to practice and improve their language skills in ways that appeal to them.

    To do this, brainstorm strategies with your students to help them find ways to use English outside the classroom. They could, for example, keep a journal in English, watch English language films and take notes, read short stories or news articles, or even set their technology and social media language settings to English.

    2. Collaborate and learn from each other

    Startups have a common goal: to establish a business model and achieve a product-market fit. This goal focuses people’s attention and develops rapport among team members. As an additional benefit of working together, startuppers learn their own strengths and weaknesses and begin to collaborate with team members with complementary skills.

    By learning about your students’ interests, objectives and needs, you can find inspiration to design relevant class projects. These give your students a common goal and the chance to collaborate effectively. What’s more, project work is rich in language learning opportunities and makes students accountable to one another. This in turn increases motivation and provides a genuine context for language learning.

    3. Reward effort

    Startups are not afraid to get things wrong. In fact, all entrepreneurs embrace mistakes, as they are part of coming to the right solution. As Thomas Edison once said "I have not failed 10,000 times – I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work." ÌýSome startups go as far as to reward and celebrate failure – saying that it’s a sign that a person is trying to succeed.

    Encourage students to see mistakes as learning opportunities. Creating a safe space in the classroom where everyone is treated with respect and mistakes are viewed as natural learning experiences. This will help your students learn the language at their own pace, without fear of ridicule.

    4. Foster a growth mindset

    Startups are famous for focusing on growth and believing in improving their products. They see both negative and positive feedback as opportunities to grow. By always seeking to optimize their products and services, they improve the user experience and earn loyalty.

    Similarly, it’s key to foster a growth mindset in your learners. ÌýA growth mindset perceives intelligence and ability as attributes to be developed, whereas a fixed mindset sees intelligence and ability as innate and unchanging.

    Students with a growth mindset will therefore believe they can improve, be more motivated and see more progress as a result.

    5. Mentor and support

    Startup founders mentor and support their team members when they face challenges, when they need to grow and when they are not reaching their potential. This increases the value of the workforce and enables them to be more productive.

    Teachers are often already naturals at this. We know how important it is to offer support to our students, especially when they are feeling frustrated or disappointed with their progress. With our encouragement and support, our students can achieve things they never thought possible. So perhaps, in this final point, startup leaders could learn a thing or two from us.
