ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE
WHY ARE WE HERE?
After the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, governments tried to adopt their education system to online education impetuously and students were partly deprived of their regular education. This caused lack of motivation and concerns for 11th grade students who study languages and parents for their children's future. In order to eliminate this deprivation, we created this project to increase their motivation, improve their language skills and vocabulary in English lesson, acquire functions in the curriculum better, prepare for “YKS” English exam and teach them with various digital tools.

Selcen GÖNÜLATEŞ/ Şehit Sümer Deniz Anatolian Religious Vocational Girls High School
I’m Selcen, an ESL English Teacher from Fethiye This is my sixteenth year in teaching. Infact, being a teacher is not what I do, it is who I am. My passion for teaching young and teen learners begins first and formost with a concern for the student’s goals and expectations in learning English. My teaching should be structured to meet those ends. I believe that as an ESL teacher it’s my role to analyse my student’s needs and develop their linguistic and communicative competence, to meet both their present and future needs, and to equip them to participate fully in a world of changing knowledge. In this context, this project is a great chance for me and my students. I also want to point out that I am very excited to share the knowledge, experience, dreams and abilities of students and colleagues from other cities.
