Using Cartoon Discussions for Vocabulary Acquisition in English Language Teaching
(Nesibe Aydin Education Inst, 2021) Ozkurkudis, Mary Jane M.; Bumen, Nilay
Action research was carried out in the preparatory program of a foundation university to examine the effectiveness of cartoon discussions in vocabulary acquisition. Students were shown cartoon videos based on the theme of the textbook unit and were asked to answer the guiding questions including the target vocabulary implicitly or explicitly. Students were divided into randomly selected groups and were asked to complete a task using the vocabulary acquired through the learning management system. The students (n=19) were given a pre-and post-test with words that they were supposed to learn during the eight-week process. The tests were assessed by three different teachers (the W-coefficient was found as .944 for inter-rater reliability) using a pre-prepared rubric by the researchers. To evaluate students' perceptions, at the end of the process, students were given a questionnaire. Findings revealed that the post-test results of the students, who acquired vocabulary through cartoon discussion and practiced collaboratively through the learning management system, were significantly higher compared to their pre-test results. Students expressed positive views concerning this method in the questionnaire applied. Acquisition of vocabulary through cartoon discussions was found effective and was well-received by students.

Flipping the Writing Classroom: Using Grammar Videos To Enhance Writing
(Nesibe Aydin Education Inst, 2019) Ozkurkudis, Mary Jane M.; Bumen, Nilay T.
An action research study was carried out in the preparatory programme of a foundation university to examine student performance in terms of grammar taught in the writing lessons, and as an alternative method, the flipped classroom model was applied to a group of participants who learned theoretical knowledge through videos on the learning management system. The study lasted seven weeks and during the process, students' performance was noted with the help of a checklist. The experimental design with the pre-test - post-test control group and the semi-structured interview technique was applied. The students (n = 30) were asked to write an essay during the pre-test and post-test. These essays were assessed by three different teachers (the G-coefficient was found as .841) who used a pre-prepared rubric by the researchers. Findings indicate that the achievement of the experimental group, where the flipped classroom method was applied, was significantly higher than the control group. Students expressed positive views about the flipped classroom model during the interviews. Education performed using the flipped classroom model was considered time-saving, provided an opportunity for practice, was easily accessible; and distance education through videos was well-received by students.
