INTRODUCTION to the Flipped Classroom |
|
The flipped classroom is a new
approach to teaching which takes
into account the following factors: |
|
· |
On Youtube there are now
tutorials and classes on
grammar and use of
English for all levels. |
|
· |
Many students now carry
smart phones and have
access to internet. |
|
· |
A video tutorial can be
stopped, rewound and
viewed as many times as
necessary. |
|
· |
Teachers no longer have
any kind of monopoly or
exclusivity over
knowledge. |
|
· |
These new communications
technologies mean that
class time can be spent
PROBLEM-SOLVING
individually, in teams
and with teacher
guidance. |
|
· |
This methodology is
brilliant for helping
students achieve one of
education's top goals:
converting students into
AUTONOMOUS or
INDEPENDENT LEARNERS. |

level you will find grammar
content with video tutorials
and online exercises. |

METHODOLOGIES |

accompanied with other methodologies
or approaches so that our students
with their range of learning styles
and intelligence profiles receive
the best all round education. These
