Flipped Learning in Language Teaching 2021

 

Reach Every Student!

 

 

Abstract

This five-week online workshop is designed for both those new to flipped learning and those who are already flipping their classes. The goal of flipped learning is to reach every student every day in a meaningful way. In flipped learning, the group learning space is revitalized and turned into a fertile environment for students to engage actively and creatively with learning. Thus, participants in the session will not only gain further insight into the concepts and processes of flipped learning in order to transform their pedagogical practice, but also learn about tools to enhance direct instruction and individual learning. Of course, as much as p ossible, the workshop employs a flipped approach!

 

 

Session Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will have

  • mastered the concepts underlying the flipped learning approach and how it differs from a flipped classroom.

  • seen examples of flipped learning in different contexts and at different levels of expertise when flipping (flipped classroom 101, flipped learning, in-class flip, etc.)

  • designed a plan for flipping one course (or section or lesson) and adapted their materials.

  • implemented a flipped lesson with students and shared their reflections on a forum.

  • networked with other participants and shared flipped lesson plans and projects.

  • interacted with some of the leading international experts in the flipped learning movement during our weekly webcasts.

 

 

 

Target audience

 

Target audience: This session is for both teachers that are completely new to flipped learning as well as teachers that are already flipping in K-12, higher education, and/or adult education. This session is for online and classroom educators, as well as course developers, curriculum coordinators, and program administrators.
