Features of Flipped Learning to Improve Speaking Proficiency

Аннотация

The concept of the flipped classroom has received significant attention; however, limited research has explored
its implementation in English teaching, which is the focus of this study. The aim is to examine the general responses of
English teachers toward the flipped classroom methodology and to investigate the perceived benefits and challenges of
its application in English teaching. A total of 10 English teachers from diverse institutions that have adopted the flipped
classroom model participated in this research. Data were collected through a combination of questionnaires and interviews
and analyzed using a range of techniques. The findings revealed that English teachers demonstrated a highly
positive response to the flipped classroom methodology. The perceived benefits included facilitating active learning,
fostering collaborative teamwork, stimulating autonomous learning, and enhancing classroom interaction. The challenges
encountered during implementation were related to the provision of support, technical and technological difficulties, and
the preparation of flipped learning materials.
