Exploring Quantifiers: Much vs. Many in the Classroom


Hello everyone,  

Today I’m excited to share my classroom task for the Current Issues in Teaching course. I created a one-page lesson plan using the ASSURE model, focusing on the quantifiers “much” and “many” for high school EFL learners in Turkey.

Lesson Overview  

The goal of this lesson was to help students understand and apply “much” and “many” correctly. I started with a quick explanation of the rules and examples to clarify the difference between countable and uncountable nouns. Students then practiced with worksheets and explored real-life examples using Corpusmate, an online corpus tool. This allowed them to see how “much” and “many” are used in authentic contexts. Finally, students created original sentences and shared them with peers for feedback.

  Understanding Cyberbullying Through Infographics We were asked to make an informational infographic about an ethical or legal problem related to technology use. Our purpose was to give information in a basic and visual way so others can easily understand the topic. I choose cyberbullying because this is something that many people experience or witness, but not everyone can fully understand how serious it is. While preparing my infographic, I mainly focused on what cyberbullying is, where it happens, and why it matters. I also added some examples and some tips on how to prevent it or how to deal with it. I used Canva to desing the infographic. It was easy to use and had a lot of templates available, but It was still a bit hard to keep everything short and clear. Sometimes I wanted to write longer sentences, but I had to remind myself that it should be simple. Choosing the right colors and template also took too much time. I think infographics are really helpful in the ELT cl...

 Collaborative Writing Experience For this task, our group wrote a film review about The Truman Show by working together on Google Docs. Our group members were Sema Yılmaz and Nurten Gülce Güler. We shared ideas, wrote different parts of the review, and checked each other’s writing during the process. Using Google Docs made the task easier because everyone could edit the document and leave comments at the same time. We also gave peer feedback to improve grammar mistakes and make the review more organized. Sometimes it was a little confusing when more than one person edited the same part, but overall the process went well. I think collaborative writing is helpful because it allows everyone to contribute different ideas. Google Docs was useful for communication and editing, especially with the comment section. It was also easier to see changes instantly instead of sending files to each other again and again. This activity helped us improve both our writing and teamwork skills. I a...

  Our Digital Storytelling Project: PSA on Antibiotic Use For our Digital Storytelling project, we created a short PSA about conscious antibiotic use. We chose this topic because we realized that many people use antibiotics without really knowing when they are necessary, and this can lead to serious problems. At the beginning, we brainstormed a few ideas, but this topic stood out since it is both common and important. After deciding, we did some research to understand what antibiotic resistance is and why it matters. This step helped us feel more confident about what we were saying in our video. Then we moved on to writing the script. We tried to keep it short, clear, and easy to understand. Since PSAs are very short, it was actually a bit challenging to decide what to include and what to leave out. We focused on explaining the problem, giving a few simple examples, and ending with a clear message about what people should do. Instead of filming ourselves, we decided to create t...
