GRIT Member

Hello, I am Şule ÇINAR YAĞCI. I am an academic who has focused on French language education in my educational life and career journey. I work as a lecturer at Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University School of Foreign Languages. I started my educational journey at Aydın Efeler Foreign Language High School and then graduated from Istanbul University Hasan Ali Yücel Faculty of Education, Department of French Language Teaching. I completed my master’s degree on French language education at Istanbul University and I am currently pursuing my PhD at Gazi University Institute of Educational Sciences.

In the academic field, I have participated in trainings investigating the role of artificial intelligence in foreign language education and published several articles on this subject. In particular, examining the contributions of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to language learning is one of the important topics I have been working on. I am also interested in developing learning materials enriched with augmented reality technologies and their effects on students’ academic achievement.

I have presented papers at national and international symposiums on topics such as French language teaching and translation strategies and have been published in various academic publications. In my research, I aim to bring technology together with education and improve students’ learning experiences.

Teaching means having a never-ending student consciousness. In this context, I can say that I am a “student academician” who constantly reads, researches and produces. In addition to academic success in my career, I prioritize one-to-one interaction with students and guiding them in the best way possible. I like to follow innovative approaches in education and integrate these approaches into my courses. With a sincere and solution-oriented approach, I am very happy to guide students and colleagues on their academic journey.

The GRIT Team is a truly inspiring community. It is a great privilege to be with this team, which aims to make a difference with innovative projects in education and wants to leave its mark both nationally and internationally. This dynamic environment, where each member contributes to projects by sharing their ideas, takes responsibility and acts with a common vision, has a structure that is open to continuous learning and development. Everyone in this innovation, research and technology-oriented team has a passion for making a difference, which makes GRIT unique.

It is a great excitement for me to take part in this project. I want to add my knowledge and experience to the team, especially in researching and developing the effects of artificial intelligence technologies on language education. With my academic background and experience in interdisciplinary projects, I look forward to producing innovative solutions and playing an active role in the success of the projects. With the energy of GRIT, I will continue to learn and find the opportunity to create value with this great team.
