TEAM 1

Yakup, Pelin, Ä°lknur, Gökhan, Çisem (2016-2017 Fall)

Hi everyone! My name is Çisem AltuÄŸ. I am an ELT graduate and I have been teaching for 5 years now. This is the first time I have been in a Lesson Study. I am really excited about the process and the results. I am sure this will be a unique experience in my career and it will provide me with many benefits in my teaching experience. Stay tuned for what’s coming next!

Hi, I’m Yakup. I graduated from METU ELT programme in 2010. I have recently started an MA programme in ELT at Hacettepe University. I have been teaching English at tertiary level for 5 years. I first heard about Lesson Study last year during the first UTAA ELT Fusion event. This year we will engage in Lesson Study process with my colleagues. I expect to learn a lot from this experience.

Hello everyone! I have been working as an English teacher since I graduated in 2011. I’m also doing my master degree in Computer Education and Instructional Technology. Currently I’m working as an instructor at UTAA. I first heard about about Lesson Study during ELT Fusion Day, a conference held at UTAA in 2016.  I’m interested in trying out Lesson Study in my lessons so that I could be more effective while teaching.

Hi! My name is Pelin. I’m a graduate of ELT, METU and that would be my 8th year in teaching English. Right now, I’m doing my MA in Curriculum and Instruction at Ankara University. Last year was the first time that I heard about Lesson Study and I had an opportunity to conduct a pilot study under the guidance of Ilknur Bayram. It was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had within the scope of CPD so far. It would not be wrong if I told you that it totally changed my point of view and the way I think about teaching and the way I plan my lessons. That’s why I am quite enthusiastic and excited about the next study that we are planning for this year as a practitioner once myself. So, action!
