Who am I ?

Hi, I’m Asya. I’m 22 years old. I live in Turkey,  and I study in Abant İzzet Baysal University. My deparment is English Language Teaching Department .

                      

What is my goal ?

My aim is to teach English with my knowledge, ideas, feeling and motivation. I try to be a light for my students to find their own way.

Where am I ?

Learning a language is  like always  being on road. No matter how far you go, you stil have way to go further.So, I am on way. I try to learn something new everyday. Pedagogy and human psyhology are my focuses. Because, learning and teaching something needs motivation, energy, and  happiness. If a student is relaxed  and pleased in lesson, learning comes automatically.

How  am I ?

I usually feel  insufficent  about my work. I always try to improve myself. Being a teacher requires  reading and writing. If I do them, my students take me as a role model.  Being a real teacher is hard, but not impossible.

Why did I choose ELT ?

Because, a teacher makes a difference. When I was in high school , I wasn’t  good at English. I wanted  to learn history . Unfortunately, I had already determined my department. I didn’t want to go on. Then, one day, my teacher forced me to enter an English poem competition. Writing a poem was really diffucult for me. Finally, I wrote a poem and I gave it to my teacher. Then, I tried to write  so many poems. In the following years, I participated that competition again.  I couldn’t be first, second or third. However, I loved English. I learnt  lots of new words, patterns, and  feeling . In other words, a teacher can change everthing in someone’s life. Therefore, I am a teacher.
