Flipped classroom approach in EFL context: Some associated factors

Abstract

Foreign language teaching is one field that is changing and being updated to meet the needs of learners and recent advances lead to consider new perspectives, directions and approaches. As an example of blended learning, flipped classrooms have gained prominence in recent years owing to the interest in crucial impacts of online and learner-centred learning on foreign language learning process. Traditional teaching process is reversed which means that class time is dedicated to homework and activities whereas learners construct their own knowledge at home. In a flipped class, learners are encouraged to improve their critical thinking skills and evaluate their own learning since teachers take a role as a coach and mentor in this process. On the other hand, in a traditional class, the content of the lesson is delivered by the teachers directly and learners are passive receivers of the knowledge in the classroom.

The Impact of Flipped Learning on L2 Learners’ Achievements: A Meta-Analysis

“…Flipped learning model may not be also suitable for all learners due to the differences in their learning styles (Moore & Chung, 2015). Learners and teachers should be encouraged and motivated to experience online learning; thus, if they have worry, this method will not be efficient (Yavuz & Özdemir, 2019). Furthermore, heavy workload (preparing videos, controlling students, and finding appropriate materials for students) may be a burden for teachers (Zainuddin & Halili, 2015).…”
