Raising we awareness of secondary school students in a Turkish context

This study basically aims to reveal secondary school students' awareness of world Englishes and how this may affect their learning processes. This study leads students to see the different use of English around the world, which can motivate them to learn the language through different classroom activities. Activities can be made more effective and fun for students by using technology. Videos, online games, and different original materials contribute to the students' process.
