2. Flipped Learning (FL)
• online lecture is provided for take-home, and more class
time is spent for meaningful interaction among, such as
collaborative activities, group discussions, or feedback
exchanges

30 June – 2 July 2016
FL is
not just a technique or
method, but a
Lecture at home Homework in class
Pedagogical approach
3. Educational Changes by FL
• classroom is no longer the place where knowledge is
delivered by the teacher: teacher-centered lecture is
moved out of the classroom.
• classroom is the place where learning is effectively
achieved by collaborating with peers.
• schooling is not confined by time and space. The idea of
‘seamless learning’ or ‘borderless can be realized by
blended learning
• the learning center shifts from teacher to learner. The
role of teachers and students were redefined.
4. The role of FL in learning languages
• What is effective FL in EFL classroom?
• What should be flipped?
Input online vs. Output offline
Lecture online vs activity offline
5. Input online vs. Output offline
• authentic reading materials for writing class ( webb,
Doman, & Pusey, 2014, Leis, 2015)
• sample demos (situation movies, pop songs, famous
speeches) for speaking tasks (Agustin & Kumalarini, 2015;
Kim 2010), for idiom (Chen Hsieh, Wu, & Marek, 2016) or
grammar lesson (Ahmed, 2016)
• topic-related resources for inclass discussion (Leis, 2016),
for project-based learning (Peters et al. 2015)
