What is concept or language area in my lesson
plans?Grammar-based teaching
If we believe eclectic approach, we should NOT ignore
grammar!Integrated Skills
Listening and SpeakingReading and Writing
Grammar?
HOW?
Give examples using the theme.1. Lesson Plan: Give short
information about the mine accident by using relative clause. (Ex.
In Soma, coal miners passed away sadly. And, we need a lot of
people who help and pray for them). Provide to remember their
background knowledge about target concepts. (Ex. We use who with
animate things). 2. Lesson Plan: Ex. Jupiter is larger than Saturn.
Uranus is cooler that Saturn. We add -er by comparing with
monosyllabic adjectives.3. Lesson Plan: Little Mustafa commenced
his education in Hafiz Mehmet Efendi's neighbourhood school. We add
-ed while we use a regular verb in past tense and if it is
irregular verbs, we use past form.
Teacher uses basic English while giving these clues and he/she
generally demonstrates on the example.
The First 10 15 mins of 1. LessonIn my lesson plans, they
generally watch the video at first 10 15 mins. WHY?Do you remember
the Multiple Intelligence Theory?
Provides positive attitudes to English for them
Not only one intelligence but also at least two or three
intelligences! 1. Lesson plan: (Implicit Inference)What do you
think about their feelings?2. Lesson plan: (Given knowledge)What do
you know about the solar system? Is there any water on the surface
of Mars?3. Lesson plan: (Note-taking tecnique)Ask them to note down
while listening the video

The Mine Accident in SOMA (1. Lesson Plan)
The Last 20 mins of 1. LessonWhy do I use group-work at last 20
mins of 1. Lesson? Competition or Cooperation? Multiple
Intelligence Theory?
1. Lesson plan: (Cooperation-based)Three
groups:NewspapersMagazinesFamous people2. Lesson plan: (Both of
them)Eight groups:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune3.

SKILLSSearching in the internet! (It provides to base on integrated
skills because they both listen and read quite a few materials to
reach the information).
Raz, S.(2014, as cited from Krashen) said that we should free
our students. They can read calender page, newspaper clipping, etc.
According to me, competition is used if it is suitable in terms of
theme or language area.
2. LessonIt is time to start their presentation Each group has
limited time to present their own studies. WHY? Learning the
importance of time-management!They give themselves a point from 5
to 1 for their own participation in group studies. WHY?Provides to
increase self-assessment !
Thanks for listening
