PILOT  TEAM

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!

Azime, Ä°lknur, Beyza, Pelin (2015-2016 Spring)

I'm Azime. I graduated from Hacettepe University in 2010. My department is English Language Teaching. I also continue my master’s degree in the department of English Language Teaching at Hacettepe University. I started my career at a state school and worked there for 2 years. I have been working for UTAA since 2012. I was one of the first people who had the chance to do Lesson Study here at UTAA. I am happy to have gone through such a demanding but enlightening process. I hope more of my colleagues will try it out in the future.

I'm Beyza. I graduated from Hacettepe University in 2010. My department is English Interpretation and Translation. I also have a certificate of Pedagogical Formation Program from Gazi University. I started my career at Ankara University School of Foreign Languages and worked there for 2 years. I have been working for UTAA since 2012. I was in the pilot lesson study group with Azime and Pelin and this has been one of the highlights in my career as a teacher so far. I hope to do more of it soon and learn how students think and learn.
