THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL

  Hi, my pity reader:)

   Today, we are going to talk about the flipped classroom. This is the technology age, so we as teachers have to use technology-based teaching models and approaches. The flipped classroom teaching model is one of them. This is a teaching model that puts students at the center and makes them take responsibility for their own learning. To be more clear, students are expected to watch and study the videos that their teachers prepare or the ones that are prepared by other creators and practice what they have learned in the classroom. It is all up to students, which is why it is student-centered learning.

This model has some advantages, such as enhancing students motivation and attention and reducing the time required to explain the topic. This model has some disadvantages as well as advantages. Whether all students have technological devices is one of them. Instructors should ensure that all students have access to technological devices.

   The assignment for this topic is to create either a vocabulary or grammar teaching video for a flipped EFL classroom. Me and my partner Simge Yazıci  decided to prepare a vocabulary teaching video, and our topic was Party Time. We have chosen vocabularies that we aim to teach from the MEB English coursebook for grade 5 students. Then we decide on the tool that we will use. The tool that we have used is Powtoon, and we created a three-minute video. 

   While preparing this video, me and Simge had really, really hard times. It was really hard to match the voice we had recorded to the relevant photographs in the video. However, we managed to do it! We had a really satisfying conclusion in the end. You can access the video we prepared here.
