...........The Last days in Vordingborg............

Yes, my dear blog. It is time to say ''farvel'' to Denmark because I have 3 more days to stay. I actually didn`t understand how the time past really quickly during this month. As for what I have learnt here so far, I can say that I have experienced many different things with my firends, we have shared a lot, actually we have formed a small family with different siblings. I dont know I learnt a lot in Peter`s class in that the topics were a bit different from what we observe in Turkey and Peter generally applies different techniques while making group works in the class. I believe hat I may apply some of them in my class during teaching practice next year. In Ann Christine`s course, I was familiar with the topics related to grammar.Apart from grammar, the other topics related to culture and language seemed quite interesting for me and I have learnt a lot. I believe that I may choose my topic among these topics for the book or academic paper which I am supposed to write next year in Turkey. I believe that I wont forget some of my friends in the class in that they were really kind and nice people, and actually I know that I am going to miss lots of things that I am able to do here because I may not have too much time even though I really want to try. Therefore, I believe that if the weather is not rainy tomorrow, I may ride bicycle one more time. By the way, I really liked playing bowling, and I became the winner in my group 2 times even though it was the first time I had tried it. It was really enjoyable to go there with Thomas in that he was also really kind. By the way,, we will be glad if our teachers may come to Turkey, and before going to Turkey, I will invite some of my friends who are kind to me for drinking tea for the last time. In addition to this, I know I will miss my Turkish friends in that we all come from different cities. I dont know a really hard year is waiting for me with a hard exam in addition to the exams and responsibilities I will have to take in the university and life. I hope I can be successful and in the future have the chance of visiting Denmark once more... Thank U Denmark for everything...

...........Exam Week............

Yesterday, I took the exam of Peter`s class, but since I slept late previous day because of some problems, I was too sleepy and tired on the exam day. I really want to confess that I would do better than yesterday. Unfortunately, I was a bit kind of fish which is surprised after finding itself out of water yesterday, yet it is a really good idea to take feedback after the exam in that it helps you to see your shortcomings and also good points. Yes, one of my exams finished, there is one more, but it seems that it is time that I really needed to go back home. Actually, I really had good time here with friends and teachers and I also liked this small, lovely town, but it seems that my mind doesnt work anymore... Now, I have a few days more to enjoy my being here and maybe I can relax my mind for a while.

Yes, I am a bit confused these days. I dealt with one of my exam papers and finished it. Actually, today I was tired but it was not because of exam. Anyway.... Today, I realized that courses finished and I didn`t understand how this semester finished even though I thought that I missed my family a lot. Yes, I know I have less time than I think. In addition to this, I know that exams make this duration even shorter. If I finish the second exam paper, I really want to try everything once more like the first time I arrived in Vordingborg. I would especially like to ride bcycle in that I know I won`t have chance to do so when I come back. I will laso go to seaside which is one of my favourite activities in Vordingborg. Yes, trying to understand Danish culture and also the other cultures, I can say that I had great time this year. For instance, I made a video and I wanted Jacop, Christine, Kathrine,Lasse,Maria, Sayoha, sweet Charline, and my friends from hometown to help me. All of them were really kind and I was really happy. It was a really good time that they helped me and wanted to take place in it. Actually, I know people loose many things in life and life is even shorter than we think and memories remain compared to the things that we sometimes talk about. I know this video is going to be great reminder of the days I had here with all of my friends. I will miss Vordingborg because I had good memories with my firends, we walked in the rain and shared our thoughts when we had a problem, we took photos in some places of Vordingborg.

Yes today we had exam in Thomas and Peter`s course. It was an enjoyable one in that we again discussed our ideas. We talked a lot, yet I can say all of the things were meaningful for me in that I know I learn a lot from the things which I discuss with other people. Actually, I know I learnt a lot of items of information in the first semester, and it makes me really happy in that I can remember what I learnt. I again encountered with such an example today. That`s to say, I remembered that Summerhill school was a free school in that I also read some knowledge in the first semester. Anyway, another interesting thing for me was that last year I chose to have Democratic Citizenship course as an eclectic course in my university, yet it was imposible in spite of my decision in that my teacher told me that they removed that lesson unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I was really curious about democracy, the rights we have in the society, and actually the term ''equality'' in terms of citizens. In fact, I wanna say that u learn what diversity,understanding the others, or as the some of other people do really ''

trying to have a dominant character in the society u live'', which seems to reminded me the fact that I had to know my place in the society in order to express myself. Anyway, I am really happy and glad that I had the chance of taking this course long years after secondary school in which I had the same kind of Democracy and Citizenship Education. We had some disadvantages in terms of the school we went as also my friends stated, but we tried to do our best as a group.Yeah, we also had the feedback which was good in that it is completely different from Turkish educational system. U just have your grade as your asessment instead of feedback after the examn. Yet, I remembered my teacher Yildiz who was a pioneer for us in that she made us get used to studying with cameras and seeing them as a part of daily life. Yes, I can see the benefits of everything I just worked on, which makes me happy. Today, I have learnt that I always learn new things and learning never ends, and being aware of what I do helps me be happy.

Live life Lively!!!!Yes,Sweeden with perfect friends:)))

Last Thursday we went to Malmo with Lars. Yes, it was a really enjoyable journey. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves. That trip really seemed to be the thing I had been waiting for a long time. Yes, I know I sometimes really miss my family and my boyfriend. Actually I was a bit miserable because I really believe that I cannot do without my family and my boyfriend. That`s to say, I really missed them and the day before we went to the trip, I was really sad. Yet, I really laughed and enjoyed myself. Yes, there happened to be an unexpected accident. Actually, we just concentrated on the road and suddenly when a car behind us crashed into our car, I was shocked. I couldn`t understand what happened. I just held my fiends` hands who were sitting behind. I really was afraid although it was a small and maybe unimportant accident. Actually, the day before going to Sweeden, I talked to my mum and she told me she was afraid because of the roads and the accidents which happen inevitably, and I told her who cares mum in that I was really sad in that time. In addition to this, I want to say that I study in Mersin University, namely in Mersin, and my city Adiyaman is 6 hours away from Mersin. Altough I always leave Mersin for going to Adiyaman and never insist somebody to pray for me so that I can avoid any accident, I called my boyfriend and just told him to pray for me. Yes, the accident; therefore, seemed to have a different effect on me. Anyway, we walked, sometimes went by car, and took some photos. There was a building which was really high. Lars told us that people hired that building whenever they wanted for their aims and needs.We took photos in front of that building and since it was really windy, everybody thought that they were going to fly into the air. We also went to the Christiana in Copenaghen. I felt that I was like in American movies. It was a really interesting region. I was just afraid of the dogs which were there. On the other hand, for me it was a really interesting region to be seen. After returning from our trip, we just went to hospital in order to check whether we had any problems because of the accident, yet everybody in the car was really happy. It was the first time that I had been in a hospital in Denmark. After returning home, we thanked to Lars in that he was kind and really helpful to us during the trip. When I came home, I couln`t sleep for a long time in that I was afraid. I just tuned on the light and played music so that I culd sleep. I wanted to call my boyfiend, but he had an exam the other day, it was too late to call, and I didn`t want him to get frightened. I was able to sleep towards the morning. Therefore, I couldn`t go to school, the night was like a nightmare for me and I just wanted the night to be morning. All in all, it was a really unforgettable and enjoyable day for me... At least I am happy to be in life:)))))

............THE SPIRITUAL APROACH( Rudolf Steiner Pedagogy).................

Last year when I was in Turkey, I thought that I learnt all the learning and teaching approaches given in a book for English language teaching department students. However, time showed me that I was mistaken. That`s to say, this week on Wednesday, I was going to have my exam in 21st century Democratic Citizenship course but our cordinator Dorte sent us to a different kind of school for teaching practice, and everything began there. Dorte took us from the school and left us there after introducing us as being international students from Semineraium in Vordingborg. Yeah, I thought the teachers were really kind. Before going into the class, all students and the teachers gathered in a place and thay prayed while crossing their hands and after this ceremony finished, the teacher told that we did so in that we believed that there is one God. Then Hilal and I went to the Math class with Anidita-sorry in that I may be wrong about the spelling of her name:)-. The class was 7th grade but they were all kind and nice as also the teacher emphasized. Nonetheless, the interesting thing was that they painted some pieces of wood which appeared to be a wall panel in Math class. Again in the class they sang a song before starting the lesson. After they painted, we left the class and went to the teacher room and the headmaster gave us the song and he told that their pedagogy lies in the fact that they believed that everybody and everything in the nature has a soul. They respect everything and they sing songs every month related to seasons, birds, flowers etc in order to show that everyrhing had a soul. Yes, this seemed to be quite clear in that in the Rhtym lesson, the teacher told us that every action u did had a meaning. They grouped the students according to the same type of students. That`s to say, 2 melancholics, 2 inquisitives, and 2 wanting -to -be -leaders sit together so as to leave the other and start to change a little bit. Yet, everybody cannot be teachers in that school and the teachers wanting to do so need educating for 3 years. They didn`t teach just one religion ;they also taught Budism and Islam apart from Christianity, as headmaster said. In addition to this, they decide on what to teach in terms of materials. Yeah, we asked some questions and the headmaster answered. Yes, it was a really interesting day and pedagogy for me.

.........March makes one look through the door, and makes one burn hoes and shovels........

3 days ago:

Girls, let`s go outside. It is really boring to stay at home. The weather is superb; we should take some photos and enjoy this nice sunny day. Hey, come on it is time to get fresh air and just take your jackets, be sure that we won`t feel cold. Yes, I and Semra went outside and we took some pictures since we felt really ready to feel the warmth of March. We were really happy and we walked, laughed and returned home.

Now:

Semra was ill and she couldn`t feel well to come school today. Yesterday, we had to sleep at half past three since she had a high temperature and I tried to help her so that she could feel better. I had a bad headache and I was sneezing yesterday. It seems that we should be really careful about the weather. Yeah I remember my mum. She always used to tell me to be careful about -sun-beautiful liar.I used to say who cares this, mum, u know it is warm enough to just wear a t-shirt but not a jacket with it. Now I realize that actually, she is really right about the weather.Even though I used to ignore this fact, now I really understand her and try to be careful about abrupt weather changes. Even today I was surprised in that it was sunny and windy yesterday and it turned out to be rainy today. I mean in one week , u may experience every types of weather condition. Anyway,at the moment I can say the proverb that puts forward the idea that '' March makes one look through the door, and makes one burn hoes and shovels'' absolutely rings a bell in my mind.:)))

New Day (Nevroz) Bairam in Turkey

Yes today is 21st of March. It is the day which is regarded to be the beginning of spring. This day is called as Nevroz Bairam in Turkey. Although, every country celebrates it as the beginning of spring, it is also a day for Kurdish people to rebel against some inequal policies and strenghts. Yet, it is a good day in that people hope and they never loose their expectations. They have optimistic feelings in terms of life, and they try to believe that everybody deserves to be respected. Let`s see the soul of Nevroz as an indicator of spring.

...................WOMEN`S DAY.................

Mum, where is my skirt?

Mother,I cannot do my homework. I have problem with my friend.

Darling, r u ready,fiends will come tonight.

Heyy.... Come on...What is the role of women in this world? Taking care of children, having lots of responsibilities on shoulder,obeying the rules put forward by their husbands? Of course, not. Yes,women tend to be affectionate,more emotional and faithful to their families. However, this does not mean that they are weak compared to men.If you want to figure out what I mean , let`s look at what today means for proletarian women.

Yes, women have had a role of being opposite to discrimination and fascism made over other people in capitalist world. They used to protect others against massacre and attacks. They used to carry guns with their children in case of wars and clashes. Women are the ones who struggled in the places like factories,fields,and offices. They were pioneers of strikes made against inequality. They struggled for a future in which there was no discrimination between men and women. Yeah, I believe u have understood a bit what women have a role in society. I am proud of myself and the other women in that they try ro get their freedom , they don`t just deal with cooking and take care of their babies. They are also really good at everything for making develop themselves.

..........Undefinable Sense................

If somebody asked me one of my biggest happiness sources, I would definetely put forward it as having excitement in my heart to start my job as a teacher with my sweet students. Yes, sometimes people may not be aware of the chances they have and they may feel really bad just because of an unimportant problem; however, I have learnt to be happy even with a really small event in my life, and I really believe that my students will be my biggest source of happiness. That`s to say, I am really luck in that I will have my students and will not be alone. Last week, we were in Kastrup School. Our assignment was related to meaning of democracy in schools.It was a bit difficult to understand the course in the class in terms of the fact that the course was in Danish. The teacher then told in English what they were doing. Penille,teacher in school,was good at controlling class.Yeah, I tried to observe activities generally especially in terms of cooperative group work. Our students were 8 years old, all of whom were really sweet, respectable, and hardworking. During the lesson we sometimes looked at what they were doing and the interesting part was related to language. Students did not know English and we didn`t know Danish, nonetheless; we drew some pictures for them and they liked. Furthermore, one of them brought a dictionary for us and by looking at that dictionary, we tried to understand each other. At the end of the course, we took some pictures, we were able to have some videos related to our topic with some of the teachers and, our students sang a Farvel song for us. It was a really enjoyable week and Penille was really kind to help us. I would like to thank her.Before going out of class, some of students hugged us. I was glad and surprised to see how sincere they were. Yes, as a teacher candidate I can say I will have responsibilities to control my classroom and being among my students will be my greatest happiness. But as a reminder, although everything was nice, you know sometimes there comes unlucky events. We didn`t wait at school for bus and decided to walk and unfortunately it was such a really windy and cold day that we got cold because of walking for 3 kilometres. When we were at home, our eyes were full of tears, our hands and feet were numb.And we had a too bad headache. Sorry for this, but unfortunately, we couln`t go to school for one day because of this. Except for that day, I really felt both of warm, nice and candid air of school life and cold air out of school in my soul:)))).

.............Valentine`s Day..............

........Love 4 u?...........

Yes, today is Valentine`s Day but why does it seems to be very important for people? Actually, today many people buy roses for their darlings or they send cards to them, which seems really nice for darlings. Yes,people may buy presents for their darlings in this day yet I believe that remembering your love every day should be more reasonable. In my opinion, your love to your darling should be in your mind and especially in your heart every time. I respect to people who just buy presents to their loves because they love even though for me making people buy presents just for this day seems to be a part of consumer society`s game. I think if your darlings do so generally, it is better since it shows he is worth appreciating. Yet, I like confessing that I would like to see my boyfriend and I know it would be a big present for each of us:))). Anyway, if you are curios just as I am, why not look into this day deeply? R U ready? Then Let`s listen to the story below...

...........Like a New YeAr..............FaRVEL,S'IL VOUS PLAÎT,mERHABA.......:)

Hi everybody. I am here again after a long time. Yes, I was in Turkey for one month. I had health problem becuse of my teeth. I had my teeths out, yet I had to wait for 2 weeks so as to have them again. I sent an e-mail to Dorthe to inform about my being late.I am really sorry for this because I tried to come earlier even though I looked for the tickets earlier. In addition to this,I would really want to see the course with Peter and Thomas. Well, I was able to come this week. It was a really tiring trip for me because I had to wait at the Istanbul airport for approximately 7 hours and when I came to Coopenhagen Airport I waited until morning since it was warm to stay until going to central station. I had luggage and it was hard for me to carry although I knew I had to do so. Yet, I was able to come by myself, which was nice after the first term. I am happy to be here again because I have met new friends who are really sweet. Yesterday, we had a party for one who was supposed to leave for going to Spain. I met him yesterday, but it was enjoyable to be with friends and share feelings. This term seems to be more enjoyable and multicultural, which is a really good advantage in terms of getting adapted to new cultures.

........Happy Christmas Party .............

Today was a really nice and remarkable day for me. We prepared a puzzle activity related to some words and our friends played it. However, we had to leave even though we showed just the activity and were not able to check at the end. Sorry, we left because we didn`t buy a present for our friends in that we didn`t know that we had to bring one. Therefore, we felt a bit shy and ashamed. As a consequence of this, we just left the class in order to buy a present. After a while, we just came and enjoyed the beautiful air of the party with our friends. Our great cooks cooked duck, potatoes with sugar sauce which was completely interesting for me,a desert with rice and almonds. Apart from these, my teacher Ann Christine told that Danish people start to sing hand in hand around christmas tree and than open their presents. It seems to be a nice tradition. After we ate really delicious meals, we just sat down and we threw the dices and when it came 6, it meant you could choose a present and I threw 6 and I had a present. I was happy. However, I learnt that presents changed with the cards. Anna read a paper according to which we changed our presents and our places. Yet, I again loved my lovely present, which I will keep with myself for a long time unless of course if they don`t get broken. All in all, I can say that I enjoyed myself and it was really nice to feel that great weather with friends. And now I am getting ready to leave for Turkey. It was a nice term, I finished my study products and now time to get relaxed and feel the soul of Gud Jule:).

(x+y+z=?): What is the result and How to do evaluation???

Today was a different day for me. You may ask why. Actually, it is because I had an exam. Yes, I already did my study product in Pedagogy and today I had oral exam. Except from Peter, there was another teacher. They asked some questions and I talked ralated to my study product. Before I entered in the room, I was a bit excited which is really normal to emerge, but I was able to control my excitement and I tried to answer what was asked to me. Actually, it was a really good environment in that you don`t get nervous really much. In my country, I can say that we had presentations in pertinent to our products. We explain all the topic in our work and teacher doesn`t explain our mark immediately after the presentation. It is declared after the term finishes in the site which helps us as students to see our notes. However, I really would like to say that after I talked, Peter and the other teacher gave feedback, which is actually really useful in that I became aware of what points were done related to my work and how I would improve myself. In addition to this, I found evaluation in Denmark really great in that we again discussed something and behaved critically in contrast to Turkey. In oral exams of Turkey, we have presentations, but discussion point is a bit missing. The point I like here is that teachers and student discuss and also add new points. I wasn`t just talking in front of blackboard by talking about topic. I was discussing the topic with teachers, which is quite important for me in that I can also think critically. Creating individuals who think critically is a part of Turkish curriculum and I am happy to see my improvement in this dimension.Yes, I hope I can really be a good teacher in every aspects and skills, and also help my students to comprehend the idea of thinking creatively and critically for being successful instead of just memorizing and telling what is written.

''The first snow in Denmark''

Yes, at last the grandmother `Rapunzel Snow', who had long white hair covering the all earth, came to visit her grandchildren in Vordingborg. I would like to welcome her by saying that I`m really glad to see her because I feel extremely blissful in that she persuades me to believe in quiteness, peace, and sincerity of life. Yes, when I saw the snow, I couldn`t believe in my eyes because a lot of time has passed since I saw snow. Actually, I used to see snow when I was in Adiyaman, the city I live in, but I couldn`t see it when I started to study in Mersin because of the climate. Generally, I am fond of snow and I like to play snowball with the people I love. Nonetheless, I would like to confess that experiencing snow is a completely different evident in Denmark. When it was snowing, I and my housemates went outside and we started to play snowball and ran like little cheerful children in the snow. In addition to this, we heard the music sound and decided to follow cars and people in the street. Firstly, I couldn`t understand why there were lots of people in the street and I was totally amazed to see there were a great numbers of people in Vordingborg streets which was unusual. People came with their babies and small children. Children sitting in the firefighters` cars threw candies to the people in the streets. They were opening the lights on the trees. Santa Claus was also talking, and a woman looked at me and smiled even though I couldn`t understand what they were talking about, I was just happy when I realized that people were fond of the snow and children were sliding in a crazy way. After the celebrationn finished, my friends and I just ran and played snowball with excitement and happiness in our hearts. Moroever, I wanna say that my heart got really warm upon seeing how elated and candid people were despite the fact that it was extremely cold outside. I really would like to thank to grandmother Rapunzel Snow in that she makes me be thoughtful about homeless people to be cared and makes people bind each other more by creating a feeling of humanity and a soul of Christmas.

...............The Day of Teachers .........................

Today is 24th of December which is a special day for teachers. In Turkey, we as students generally buy presents for our teachers.Even for just one day, we would like to celebrate this day in order to show that we respect to our teachers and they deserve being respected. In my country, being a teacher is a very important job in that teachers are stated to be the people who change the posterity. In addition to this, the Cabinet in Turkey gave the title of fundamental teacher to Ataturk in Ankara`s meeting which was held in 11th of November in 1928. 24th of December is celebrated as teachers day since 1981 which is Ataturk`s birthday. Today I also celebrated one of my teacher`s day in high school by sending a message because I really respect my teacher in high school. Actually, I can call him as a lifesaver. My city is a small city and its library doesn`t include any English book. In other words, I can say we don`t have English sources; however, my teacher used to give course when I was a high school kid studying for the biggest and the most important exam called OSS. He went to Adana ,the distance of which takes 6 hours from my city and collected lots of books for us. Thanks to him, we were able to pass the exam in our first year. I am thankful to him in that he is a great teacher and inspirator for his students. I really would like to be a good teacher as he is. He not only encourages you but also shows how to catch a fish. We also celebrated the day of my teachers who are in Mersin, and now I, as a teacher candidate, really would like to celebrate the teacher day of my teachers in Denmark. Happy new Teachers Day, dear Dorthe, Ann Christine and Peter and I would like to state the quotation of Ataturk which is like '' Teachers! The new posterity will be your masterpieces'' .

!!!!!!!!!!!!! ......R u ready for time to Study.........!!!!!!!!!!

Nowadays, I have been dealing with my study products. I try to figure out what I should do. Our teachers Ann Christine and Peter helped us; they showed us lots of books and also some ways of finding reliable data. Also Yette,the lady in the library, is really kind in that she really wants to help us when we want to find some resources in the library. I started to write some about my topic. I just remembered the days when I was in Turkey since I used to do same type of study products. Actually it is a nice thing when you deal with something since life is too silent in Vordingborg. If you don`t feel yourself ready to start doing, it always remains in the list of the things to be done. I think actually it is also related to how you feel. I think in these days, I feel homesick since I have been experienceing some problems related to sleeping and eating; however, this doesn`t mean I am not happy being here. On the contrary, I love Denmark, my friends, and my teachers. It makes me surprised and a bit sensitive when I realize that my classmates and teachers deal with my problems sincerely. That`s to say, they are really kind and nice people and in fact, this makes me too sensitive and homesick because I feel as if I am with my family and friends and I miss them since I remember them. It is also nice to see that there are always some type of activities for us in the school in that it helps me to become a part of the groups in classroom even though I feel they are already close to me. By the way, it is getting colder and I got surprised to hear that the first snow fell in Copenhagen. In fact, I really want to see the snow before I go to Turkey despite hating cold weather. I know it is really going to be enjoyable:).

...............Teaching in Denmark ..........

Everyday I realize that I learn new things related to classroom management in both of my courses given by Anne Kristene and Peter. I am especially happy to learn different strategies, such as group discussions, class parliament discussion, and some more collobrative techniques to apply in the classroom. Actually I would like to say that one of the reasons why I wanted to come to Denmark was related to seeing its education system and being able to notice differences and similarities compared to my country. Sometimes I note down some activities which I found useful so that I can apply in my class, such as starting to draw before starting to talk about topic since it helps students to focus on better and making circles and thereby encouraging all students to participate in the course. In fact I also realized this last week with my friends and our teacher Peter. Yes, I would like to talk about my class experience related to class environment, teacher and students as a candidate teacher in pertinent to my class observation now.
First of all, I was really excited and unaware of what was waiting for me, but I really want to state the fact that in Danish classroom I saw collobrative type of learning with group discussions while in Turkish classrooms I generally realize the teacher-centered learning. It was a multicultural classroom. I really appreciated the environment in which students consisted of generally 5 students in each group. Students were all representing different worlds because all of them had different styles and different ethnicities. Students were talking in English and generally in Danish when asking questions to each other, which helps negotiation of meaning and communication as characteristics of Communicative Language teaching. The teacher applied collobrative tasks and learning by doing environment and thereby helping all the students to participate in the lesson. However in Turkey the style of sitting in the class is in rows; line after line, which makes heavy demands on teacher in terms of learning.That`s to say, teacher talks more in Turkish classes while in collobrative class both students and the teacher are active speakers like in the case of Danish class I observed rather than being passive receipters who just listen. Actually students were comfortable enough to put off their shoes which showed that their affective filter was low. This also shows why teacher is relaxed in terms of deciding what to discuss in the class because of not having a strict curriculum that inspectors in Turkey are crazy for.
As for teacher, I would like to say that she was a good type of collobrative teaching style. Actually, she gave lots of reinforcements during the lesson like `Allright, Ok, Well done, Very good job` etc. She used her voice effectively for both making herself understood and keeping authority.She gave different assignment to one of her students from the whole class in that the other students were far from her level. In fact it showed the fact that teacher considers students` psychological and physical needs.Actually the teacher sometimes used Danish when needed. That`s to say, she used L1 and then translated to L2 when giving explanations. She had an inductive way of teaching. She started to give examples and then she discussed the main topic, which is indeed the case in Oral Approach. She was really good in terms of classroom management. That`s to say, she was not too friedly with her students and put some rules in pertinent to cleaning and class like raising your hand, waiting for all the class finish the task etc. The exercises she did were on the exact level of students. All the students talked in English,which is a part of Communicative Language Teaching,but she not only gave importance to speaking but also considered writing, reading, and listenening to be important. She gave feedback to her students after they finished writing. She was actually a good type of collobrative teaching in that the activities she did showed this a lot. After the course finished, I really wondered how she did exercises and whether activities belonged to her. She told that her secret was `Collobrative Teaching` book. She effectivelly taught a grammatical topic in a circle as a way of encouraging all students become a part of the lesson.

Finally, the content was different in that the Danish education system taught culture in the course book. The grammar exercises were also different in that Turkish grammatical books don`t provide Turkish explanations in contrast to Danish books.

I look forward to using these strategies in my class in the future. I started to write down some techniques which I find useful and think be interesting and enjoyable for my students. I also want to make my class enjoyable since that day I wasn`t aware of the fact that how time passed quickly, which made the fact that really clear that the more you encourge your students to do something, the more chace you have to improve yourself.

New Milestone in Education

In the clip we watched last week, there were a lot of students, many of whom had some problems. For example, Henritte seemed to be too silent and shy. Angellica was protesting to homework which she had to do. Suleyman was a troublemaker who created lots of problems in all teachers` classes. Esmeralda was too confident. Knoumba was too protesting because she had problems related to growing up. One of the students created his own style by wearing black and feeling different from the other people. Teacher had problems related to students in the cassroom, time management, authority and discipline. Then what the problem was and exactly what went wrong with the students.
Actually there is a lot of items of information to discuss and several reasons to talk about according to Thomas Ziehe. Nowadays we have seen that in fact we are moving from a norm-regulated form of society to prefarence-oriented society. It is seperated from high culture. In other words, u don`t have to read about Shakesphere since he is important for society. Now,in other words, the young people have more chance to opt out. They are free and liberal. They have the choice of focusing on high culture or not. It depends on them. As being a part of popular culture, they have the opportunity of avoiding the content which is not pleasent for them and pose a question of why do this, which is not so strange. For example, Angellica doesn`t want to write an autobiography like Annie Frankie did, which seems to be an unstrange body of knowledge for her and therefore she called the diary Annie Frankie wrote as `before my time` because the effect of high culture decreases. In addition to this, they create their own style. That`s to say, they become a part of detraditionalisation. They do something if it rings a bell in their mind.This also explains why one of the students want to wear black and become different from the society as an individual. As a teacher, u should in fact create self distance to everyday life, otherwise they will find `the important thing `for u to become as `out of their time` . You should provoke something strange to them so that they can deal with it and u shouldn`t agree on everything they want. If you do so, students like Suleyman will create problems in your class by being troblemakers since it seems for them u are not an authorative teacher. In this case, you should have a certain styles to get their self-world. It is important to avoid being friendly to students, not get closer to everyday life, have some structures rather than be informal. This also explains why Khoumba doesn`t do anything her teacher wants her to do. She gets angrier when her teacher talks about girls` period, which is important for her.In addition in a part of movie, a black student told that he didn`t eat with his friend`s mother since it seemed to be a kind of disobedience and immorality, which also shows that a teacher should be aware of different backgrounds in the class. It is also important for a teacher to provide motivation among students. It seems important for them how they have an image in their friends` eyes, which is called self-valuation. As a teacher, u should create an environment in which students are voluntary to demonstrate a will. Otherwise, they are going to be more reserved, shy, silent and response to questions with short answers like in Henritte`s case.

To sum up, as a teacher who will not want to have problems related to classroom management you should:

• be aware of your time schedule and plan your exercises in the class in advance,
• do some warm-up activities before passsing the topic so that they can be ready and find the content interesting for themselves,
• have an authority so that students respect you,
• create an environment in terms of motivation.
• be like a coach and guide who helps and shows how to catch a fish and teach with the aid which is called ZPD (zone of proximal development) ,
• be aware of their pschological and physical developments, levels, interests, and different backgrounds,
• teach them how to be respectful and kind to eachothers` rights,and
• be tolerant and patient enough to deal with your students` problems.
