This qualitative study was conducted to gain insights into the perceptions of prospective English language teachers at a state university in Turkey on flipped classrooms and to introduce the implementation of a flipped classroom into an English language class. The results were interesting and there are useful recommendations for implementing flipped language lessons.

"the secret words" idea seems to be very creative. I wonder how it is implemented. I also wish we could be able to learn what they do in the classroom in this specific example. I really wonder how classroom activities work in flipped elt classes.

Sebahat Hocam, maybe we can contact the authors and ask about it.

You probably came across the famous quote by Dr. Ray Clifford saying "Technology will not replace teachers, but teachers who do not use technology will be replaced." Well, that might change sooner than we had anticipated. Some companies have been working very hard for several years to manufacture real-time translation devices like the one mentioned in the article attached. Although most of the attempts are too immature to be taken seriously, I think we will have devices in the next decade that are able to translate satisfactorily across languages. Whether this will have a tangible impact on language teaching professionals is yet to be seen.

It's a brief overview of TPACK and ends with a serious claim labeling "Language Teaching" on PCK section unlike many other researchers putting forward an all-encompassing circle.

a brief discussion leads here upon Simpson's claim: http://www.teachthemenglish.com/2012/09/an-introduction-to-the-tpack-model/

This is a research study carried out in Turkey. To assess pre-service English as a foreign language teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Scale was used and students were asked to answer some open-ended questions. The results of the study revealed a highly developed knowledge of TPACK among undergraduate students of an ELT program at a public university in Turkey. On the basis of the results, it is suggested that the integration of content, pedagogy and technological knowledge into the existing teacher education paradigm and fostering technologically-rich environment for language learners will contribute to quality learning and teaching.

It's the wikipage for a 3-day TPACK training from 2009

Here is Prezi for the project. It is a clear illustration for what TPACK means in ELT of Language Teaching.

Very interesting indeed! It would be helpful if the author illustrated further the data analysis process, including coding. One challenge working with self-report data is that it's self reported. It's important to add more direct data sources for triangulation purpose, analyses of documents, e.g., lesson plans, in this particular case with preservice teachers. I would recommend observations. In fact, Evrim and I have been working with a few colleagues on an observation study among exemplary teachers with technology integration with the goal to visualize TPACK. That's one of the focuses in my dissertation. I designed a TPAKC-in-Action model to guide the CALL teacher education workshops and conducted them with inservice English teachers in Taiwan. After completed those workshops, I went to teachers' classrooms and observe their teaching. There have been some interesting and amazing findings and results! Will share more with everyone in June. Before then,...

I thought it would be an interesting idea to create wordle for articles from different domains and compare them.

Sercan, great idea! Let's try this with our final wiki chapters as well.

This is a commercial Online schooling site. it  provides a set of courses in different disciplines ranging from Art, History, Language Arts/English, Math ,Science, Music, and Social Sciences.

This is the web paged which contains examples of usage the smartboard in disabled childrens classroom. The video about the intreaction gives enjoyful exercises whşch can be used in classroomms. They can be used in primary school, especially for first grade. Als it can also be adopted for math classes or language classes. Have enjoy it.

"Linking, developing and supporting English Language Teaching professionals worldwide" is the motto of IATEFL. I think it is one of the biggest field in ELT. There are many seminars, webinars and also some articles are done under the cover of this community. It is really appreciated but to join you need to pay around 56 $.

TPACK video case studies.

Dear friends you can find TPACK case studies in your own disciplines in this website. Both secondary and elementary school cases are available.

Dear Mine hocam, I really like the cases here and also I found my field. In the following days, we may benefit from those cases. Thank you so much for sharing :)

Similar to IATEFL, TESOL is one of the biggest online communities for English Language Teachers, of which I am also a member. The interest sections let you get updates or questions from your peers all over the world on the subjects you are most interested in (e.g. Materials writing, Intercultural Competence, LGBTI issues, Research, Pronunciation..)

These tools are included in a master thesis written by Muhammad Fauzan Ansyari in 2012. His study used different data collection tools such as TPACK and TAC questionnaires, a lesson plan rubric adapted from Harris, Grandgenett, and Hofer's Technology Integration Assessment Rubric, interviews about TPACK, and the researcher's logbook. They can be found in Appendices part of this thesis.

This paper is written to help in-service English teachers in terms of integrating Computer-Assisted Language Learning into their classrooms. It basically explains the principles and significance of TPACK and offers a workshop in which all these are told for English teachers. It proposes the steps of "modeling, analysis, demonstration, application, and reflection" in order to utilize instructional technologies according to learner and teacher needs.

As a component of higher education, I have not been awared of numerical language of the social media.
