Applying flipped classroom in teaching english for specific purposes

Abstract

Teaching English for Specific Purposes via the Flipped Classroom has become an undeniably successful pedagogy, propelled by the enthusiasm of many teachers around the world. These dedicated educators are making a significant difference in how students learn and, as a result, improving learning outcomes. The unparalleled capabilities of new digital media, such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, and E-learning Moodle, have also enabled this evolution. An ever-expanding variety of powerful applications has been made available on top of this framework. Moreover, in the current decade, mobile technologies like tablets and smartphones have fundamentally altered the ease and convenience with which students and teachers can access digital content. This paper examines the efficacy of using the Flipped Classroom pedagogy in an English for Specific Purposes curriculum by reviewing the results of literature reviews on the Flipped Classroom pedagogy and exploring the advantages of this technique. This paper shows the author's qualitative reflections based on personal pedagogical experience, and it suggests approaches to apply the Flipped Classroom pedagogy in an English for Specific Purposes module. Finally, the paper will look at the obstacles that may be encountered and how to overcome them.
