Dear Shaping e-Course Participants,

It is a pleasure to bring our e-course to Blogger! You’ll be able to share your Shaping experience with other colleagues in the ELT field. We can now ‘see’ who we’ve been working with for the past few weeks :-).

I trust you’ll enjoy your blogging experience.

As you know, I’ve been traveling and giving presentations in different cities. I wanted to share a picture from a presentation I gave in Nidge on Shaping’s Module 03: Integrating Skills.

SEVİM İNAL

Hi!
I do believe that this program is effective, beneficial and reshaped the way I used to teach. It helps me to question both my teaching and learning. It really changed my vision and broaden my perspectives. Additionaly, we have reached a lot of extensive and reach materials. It is advantageous to have a lot of materials compiled from different resources in a short period. Sometimes I was late to send feedback of readings but it was really useful form. I watched and discussed video segments and readings with my trainees in practicum. They benefited a lot from the activities in modules. We tried to adapt them in our classes of different age levels. Children enjoyed the activities as well. My students found classroom management readings useful and effective and used some of them in their real classes. I would like to thank everyone who prepared the programme.
Best wishes
