İdeas for teaching english

Etwinning teachers room

Esen Sandıraz/Turkey

Why eTwinning ?

More than fifteen years teaching in traditional way were more than enough to me and to my students. I wanted to teach my students in a different way,I wanted to catch a new way of teaching ,I wanted to have interested and motivated pupils, and also funny classes and lessons.But I had no idea how to do it..

No experienced friends..

Then I joined in etwinning. ;I was lucky because in a short time I had two lovely partners and the communication between us has worked very well from the very beginning.. We became friends and tried to use ICT in our projects.but I had a problem..There were no teachers rooms and no groups,national workshops and enough learning events.... Whenever I had difficulties,I had nobody to ask.. So,I tried to learn it by myself.. But it was really hard for me..

Sharing experiences..

Two years ago,eTwinning renewed itself and we could create groups and rooms to share our interests and our experiences with our friends from all over the Europa.So,I decided to create a room where everybody could easily find links about teaching english .

What did I have in etwinning?

I ‘ve had the opportunity:To find project partners.To motivate my students.To meet new colleagues from other countriesTo become a better teacherTo learn how to use ICT in my classroomTo catch a new way of teachingTo improve my personal developmentTo improve my professional developmentTo exchange ideas.To share my country’s culture

It has been a year..and here are the feelings of some members..

One of the most active members axel Reisdorf’s feelings:

And congratulations for THE teaching room! So often I wonder how you manage to get all those links. It is amazing that someone puts that much time and effort in a project just to let other people benefit from it. Thank you very much. Axel
