Thanks for your support.

Merhaba, evet videoları kaynak olarak kullanabilirsiniz. Videoların referans olarak nasıl yazılacağını size otomatik olarak hazırlayan websiteleri var. Bunlardan biri bu: shorturl.at/eDFG0 (grammarly.com) Bu sitede size sorulan kısımları doldurduğunuzda sağ sütunda size hem in-text'de nasıl yazılmalı hem de referanslar sayfasında nasıl yazılmalı, gösteriyor. Ancak isterseniz google'da aratarak başka websiteleri de bulabilirsiniz. Umarız işinize yarar. Kolay gelsin.

Dear colleague, if you please watch the videos suggested in this one, you'll see that the national curriculum does NOT include any deductive grammar goals. Hence, the coursebook, which should have been written in line with the curriculum, cannot have traditional grammar explanations or exercises. Otherwise it wouldn't have been approved by the Ministry. This practice may be the result of the teacher's attitude. That's why we are making these videos. We hope to change this useless way of teaching. In the curriculum, you can't find "simple present tense". You should check the function such as "talking about likes and dislikes" or "talking about daily routines". If you use the "function" that the simple present tense serves to search for sample lessons, you can find a number of them. Best regards.

@@AydanErsoz thank you so much

It's not bad at all. You're also correct in saying that abstract concepts are difficult to understand. I currently teach in Taiwan, and I can tell you, lots of basic ideas in English are almost impossible to present in English because they don't exist or make sense in Chinese language. Sentence structure, verb tense, pronunciation is completely differnt in Chinese to the point that young learners especially will not understand what you say even if you use the simplest English. I've been a teacher for 25 years and evey year someone comes up with a "new best method" to hack language learning and pedagogy. These newer methods seem to ignore the fact that language learning needs a foundation of basic vocabulary and the only way to get that foundation is memorization and drills. Yes that is correct. That is how memory works; through repeated exposure and forgetting, or of you want to get fancy.... maintenance and elaborate rehearsal. You cannot just envelop students in L2 and magically expect your body gestures, comprehensible input and other immersive techniques will make them learn. Sure, that works well for very simple verbs and nouns and very simple ideas, but once you start to get into more complex ideas, you need more direct methods of instruction. At the end of the day, if you can't remember, you won't know. Simple as. Educators need to stop discarding and discredit these traditional methods, approached, techniques simply because newer ones exist. In 10 years, the internet will be littered with videos entitled "TPR is dead" or "RIP Communicative Approach". I'm not even making the case that the traditional methods are the best methods, but we should stop pretending that, despite their shortcomings, they're not useful in certain instructional scenarios. Let's not forget too that at the endbof every course of instruction is an assessment so students need to know the material that will be tested very well. Also stop pretending that the newer methods that superseded are are some sort of magic bullet or hack that are automatically superior.
