THE PROCEDURE
In order to fastenstudents learningprocess, we usedeclecticapproach. The
main purpose of this is lesson to enablestudents with communication.
Cohesion and comprehension is importantpart of understanding and using
the language appropriately. Therefore, we firstlyusedPrezi to avoid
misunderstanding. So that theydiscuss about a topic, we
chosecartooncharacters for prezi. In this way, they would be able o
bothunderstand the main grammaticalitems and talk about them
Secondly, we used a listeningactivityrelated to the story to develop
theirlisteningskills. For thispurpose we chose an technique from
AudiolingualMethod. The listeningpart was the followingpart of the story.
We usedthem in context. The story was to develop theirreadingskills and
the listeningactivity was to develop theirlisteningskills. With thoseactivities
we gave the students the input that is necessary and with the survey we
wantedfeedback.
Lastly, we prepared activities for their speaking skills. The game enables
students to think and answer quickly. Therefore, their capability of
comprehensible thinking and speaking increases. The other activity
focuses on working cooperatively. The students should work not only as an
individual but also as a group in class. Hence, we prepared an activity to
make them work as a group. Thanks to this activity, they work with their
pers so that they can develop speaking skills in a more comfortable
environment.
