FROM PASSIVE TO ACTIVE: EMBRACING THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM IN ENGLISH METHODOLOGY
Abstract
In recent years, the flipped classroom model has emerged as a transformative approach in education, particularly in language learning. Traditionally, English classrooms have followed a passive learning structure, with the teacher acting as the primary source of knowledge, and students listening, taking notes, and engaging minimally in active learning. However, the flipped classroom model turns this structure upside down by leveraging technology and shifting direct instruction outside the classroom. This article explores the flipped classroom model, its benefits, and its role in fostering active learning in English language instruction. Through an analysis of its key components, this article demonstrates how flipping the classroom can foster a more interactive and student-centered learning environment.
