About me




Hello everyone,

I’m Mehlika, and I study English Language Teaching at Marmara University. I am originally from Denizli, but I currently live in Istanbul. I am a passionate and motivated person who enjoys improving myself. I enjoy expressing my thoughts and ideas through writing. I also like cycling and spending time by the seaside. I created this blog as part of my journey to become a teacher. As can be understood from the title of my blog, I aim to share my experiences and ideas about teaching and learning from a future teacher’s perspective. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and I am excited to take the first step of this journey with you.

Every journey begins with a “why?”. The reason why I opened this blog is to present the works I have produced in the Instructional Technologies and Material Design course. These works will be on different topics. Feel free to leave a comment.

I decided to focus on netiquette, because I think it is a really relevant topic in today's digital world. In my infographic, I focused on the 10 core rules of netiquette and tried to explain them in a simple and clear way using a timeline chart so that anyone can understand them easily.  I used Canva and at the beginning, I thought it would be an easy task because I really like designing and creating something. But it turned out to be a bit more challenging than I expected. The hardest part was deciding how to organize the information. I didn't want it to look too crowded. But at the same time, I didn't want to leave out any important details. Also, choosing elements and the layout took more time than I thought. I wanted it to look clean and visually appealing,  not messy. An...

During the interview, she was asked a question: " What kind of learners do you want to raise in the 21st century? " She said that at that moment, she realized that today, being a teacher requires to teaching much more than just grammar and vocabulary.  This question made me think about my own future as a teacher candidate. What does it really mean to teach in the 21st century? It is no longer enough to focus only on grammar and vocabulary. Instead, we need to raise learners who can think critically, communicate effectively, and adapt to a rapidly changing world. 21st century learning focuses on using knowledge, developing skills and building values. We must learn and teach digital literacy, innovative thinking, ethical awareness and more. It is especially significant for language learning because it is an essential issue in many areas of our liv...
