Welcome to my blog "ExpandingELT"

Welcome to my first blog "ExpandingELT". I am an English Teacher Candidate Batin Orene. Before posting anything I want to explain the reason why I have opened up this blog, and what you can expect to find within in the future. To begin with I am currently in my junior year at Marmara University in English Language Teaching Department. I soon will be an English teacher(Hurray!). As a requirement of a course called "Instructional Technologies and Material Design in English Language Teaching",  I will post a series of posts about Learning English and Technology use which will vary in subjects. To be honest they only thing that I can assure you is that you will not be disappointed in spending time on my blog. I welcome myself on abroad beginning this journey. I hope you find things that takes your interest. Have fun!

Film Review: IT / Link inside
