Transparent Language is proud to host a variety of FREE webinars aimed at educating teachers on how they can effectively teach languages with technology. Studies have shown that when it comes to learning foreign languages, combining technology and human instruction is more powerful than either computer learning or human instruction alone. The flipped classroom is an exciting new methodology in education where students “front load” their language abilities by learning vocabulary and phrases independently before each class. Teachers then build on what their students have already learned, practicing and applying that knowledge in class through communicative activities and task-based strategies. The result is a more rewarding classroom experience, with more time spent actively engaging in the language, rather than passively listening. This webinar will teach you how to flip your class and enjoy the wealth of benefits to both teacher and student alike.
