"A smile is the universal welcome." Hello, you precious souls! I am welcoming you all to my first-ever blog with a huge smile on my face! My name? Well, I’m Fatma Sıla Tığlı, but you can just call me Sıla, everyone does! I am a second-year student at Marmara University, currently studying in the English Language Teaching department. My Instructional Technologies and Material Design course is the main reason why I started this blog. In this lovely blog, I will be posting about my journey in this course. There will be posts about my thoughts, my reflections on the things we cover in the course, and my perspectives on language teaching. Well, I love sharing my point of view on things, so I think I’m going to enjoy this little blog thing. And I reeeaaally hope you guys won’t leave me alone in this—we’re in it together! Please feel free to comment with any ideas or feedback you have. Stay tuned, and take care! Your homegirl, Sıla 💖
