Hello everyone !

I’m here with my second project and I worked with my friend, Ecem AKGÜL in the preparation of it.

This time our subject is about ‘’Wikis’’. A wiki is a website, consisting of several pages that anyone can edit a content.

We wrote a film review on Wikispaces. This Wiki is created by our teacher and we shared our review on a one common page. This is a rather easy assignment considering our previous one, podcasting. We did not have any difficulties in the process because the film is one of our favourites so we enjoyed writing about it. 

Working with a partner for such tasks helps you see the other aspects of the things that you do not realize and also it makes is easier to cope with the difficulties that you might have during the preparation of the task.

You can also use wikis in your EFL class as they are easy to use but still effective. You can want your students to write about their favourite books, countries they want to visit or they can create a short story in pairs, etc. They can develop creative thinking and improve their writing skills by doing that. Also, students can edit each other's pages or comment on the content so that they can share different ideas together which is something that is not always possible during the class hours.

As an example, you can check our review here. Also, the screenshot of our review is available for those who do not have an account for Wikispaces.

Hope you like it !
