Learn Language with Technologies
Over the last year or two “Flipping the
Classroom” has become one of those buzz phrases that seem to follow an educator
wherever he goes. Especially with the advent of Mobile Learning and the
widespread use of tablet computers, flipping seems to be the rigger, meaning: a
new methodology that replaces traditional teaching and lecturing and thus
promises better results for learning, student engagement, as well as retention
of the learned materials. When we flip the classroom students are supposed to
engage with the technologically sophisticated educational environment that can
be created using computers or mobile devices outside of the classroom for
pre-viewing or -studying materials distributed to them electronically (via LMS,
streaming video, etc.). The material can then be discussed, clarified,
and analyzed in class; deeper, more thoughtful questions can be answered, no
time will be wasted with lecturing or review. Students will master the
materials at their own pace in the comfort of their home, or wherever else they
want to, and they will come to class prepared for rigorous intellectual debate.
The purpose of flipping the classroom is thus to shift from passive to active
learning and to focus on higher order thinking skills such as analysis,
synthesis and evaluation.
