EXPLORING THE USE OF FLIPPED LEARNING APPROACH IN TEACHING SPEAKING SKILLS
Keywords:
Flipped classroom,speaking,English classesAbstract
Defined as an inverted method of teaching and learning, a flipped learning approach is conducted when students deliver the content at home and practise during class time (Bergmann & Sams, 2012; Sohrabi & Iraj, 2016). Although it is widely known among tertiary-level students, its use has now been extended to primary and secondary school students.
With the support of technology and the resources available in schools, the flipped learning approach can provide school students with ample opportunities to engage in English classes, particularly with regard to reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar. Thus, this study aims to highlight the advantages of using the flipped learning approach in English classes, particularly for teaching grammar, and to identify the drawbacks that hinder its maximum use.
