The Flipped Classroom Provides Foreign Language Students Time to Speak the Language – Flipped Classroom Workshop I vividly recall sitting in my son’s Spanish classroom during an Open House back in 2011, listening to the teacher explain how they reviewed vocabulary and grammar during class. She reminded us of the importance of finding opportunities for students to listen to, and even better, speak the language outside of class. Earlier that year I had learned about the flipped classroom. As I sat listening to the instructional process being used in this language learning classroom, I had two key realizations. First, this is the process that is used in many such classrooms, and had been for decades (maybe even centuries). Many experienced ‘flippers’ know that a key benefit of the technique is changing how you use that valuable face-to-face class time. It doesn’t take a huge leap to connect the dots and realize that the flipped classroom provides the opportunity to resolve the biggest challenge with teaching languages – providing the opportunity to spend more time speaking the language!
Fabriquer une infographie : comment faire? | Carrefour éducation Entrons maintenant dans la partie pratique. Pour réaliser une infographie, vous pouvez utiliser des logiciels dont vous disposez déjà, mais vous aimerez peut-être aussi découvrir certaines applications en ligne gratuites qui se spécialisent en infographie facile. Logiciels Parmi les logiciels bien connus qui permettent la création d’infographies, vous pouvez opter pour PowerPoint (et enregistrer vos fichiers en format image, par exemple). En choisissant des logiciels que vous possédez et maîtrisez déjà, vous gagnez un peu de temps, puisque vous n’avez pas à apprendre leur fonctionnement et qu’ils sont déjà installés sur votre ordinateur. Outils en ligne Afin de pallier ces désavantages, sachez qu’il existe des outils en ligne gratuits spécialement dédiés à l’infographie. J’ai testé ces applications afin de voir ce qu’une néophyte paresseuse en la matière comme moi (!) Je me suis donc amusée à utiliser Piktochart et Canva afin de les comparer.

The Flipped Classroom More and more, you might hear about the flipped classroom. What is it? Well, the flipped classroom is a teaching model where students do traditional classroom activities, such as listen to lectures, at home via the Internet, resulting in more time for engaging practice activities in class. One resource to help you flip your classroom, even for just a few trial periods, is Allthink*, which I introduced earlier this month in my TESOL Connections article, “4 Websites for Tech-Savvy Teachers.” It is very easy to use and allows you to combine a lot of different types of media. From Allthink’s home page, you can watch a tutorial and view previously made lessons. While Allthink mini lessons and the flipped classroom are great in many ways, there are also some drawbacks. The extent to which technology is used in education depends a lot on where you teach and what resources are available to you and your students.
5 Basics You Need to Achieve a Flipped Language Classroom | General Educator Blog It’s time to flip the script on language education. And it starts with “flipping” your own class. What does that mean, exactly? Will you switch places with your students? Hand out worksheets upside down? Don’t worry—it’s more straightforward than it sounds. In other words, lectures and homework are “flipped.” The concept has been around for years, and many foreign language educators consider it an important tool for boosting students’ proficiency levels. What Is a Flipped Classroom? In a flipped classroom, the traditional teaching environment is inverted (or “flipped”). Flipped classroom teaching arose out of pedagogical research from the late ’90s and early 2000s, and solidified as a methodology about a decade later. Starting in 2007, high school chemistry teachers Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams found success with the flipped classroom model for their own students, and went on to become gurus in the field. Why Does the Flipped Classroom Work for Foreign Language Education? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Les outils qui rendent possible la classe inversée - École branchée La notion de classe inversée tourne beaucoup autour de la vidéo. Mais pourquoi? Selon Caroline Hétu et David Chartrand, enseignants, elle constitue un outil pédagogique très puissant, permettant « d’expliquer des notions, substituer une partie du cours et donner des instructions claires, autant en classe qu’à la maison ou à l’étranger ». De plus, elle favorise l’autonomie des jeunes en leur permettant d’apprendre à leur rythme, laissant par le fait même plus de temps à l’enseignant pour aider les autres. 1. Quiconque a déjà travaillé avec la vidéo sait à quel point ce média est « lourd » côté informatique. Le fait de déposer un fichier (dans ce cas-ci, un fichier vidéo) sur un service en ligne pour y avoir accès de partout s’appelle l’infonuagique, ou l’informatique en nuage. Il existe d’autres applications de l’infonuagique. 2. Pour la création de capsules vidéo originales, il y a différentes façons de procéder. Dernière étape : Rendre la vidéo disponible sur YouTube 3.

Modifying the Flipped Classroom: The "In-Class" Version So. You've tried flipping your class, and it didn't go well. Or you've heard about flipping and want to try the approach, but you're pretty sure it won't work in your school. Don't give up yet -- with a slight twist, flipping might be possible for you after all. Flipped classrooms -- where direct instruction happens via video at home, and "homework" takes place in class -- are all the rage right now, and for good reason. Early research on flipped learning looks promising. But successful flipping has one big catch -- if it's going to work, the at-home learning absolutely must happen. Arranging access before and after schoolLending out devicesSending recorded lectures home on flash drives or DVDs These are all workable solutions. Modifying the Flipped Classroom Concept None of these problems should stop us from trying, but there's another way to apply the flipped model without the problems associated with sending the work home. The teacher records a lecture. Advantages Challenges
Flipped Learning in the English as a Foreign Language Classroom: Outcomes and Perceptions - Lee - 2017 - TESOL Quarterly Although many educators have recently discussed the positive effects of flipped learning, there is little empirical evidence about whether this approach can actually promote students’ English learning. This study was undertaken in four sections of the same College English 1 (E1) course over two consecutive semesters at a South Korean university. A total of 79 students enrolled in the E1 course participated in the study. Video Lesson: Mr. Bean Follow me on twitter This is a video lesson based around the video “Mr. Bean packs his suitcase” thanks to British Council for bringing it to my attention in their lesson plan on making predictions but I’ve adapted it for use in different ways with different levels. Kids and lower levels The aim of this lesson plan is to practice holiday vocabulary (clothes and items that go in a suitcase) and some basic grammar structure. Project a picture of a suitcase on to the board (or draw one) and ask “What do you put in your suitcase when you go on holiday?” toothbrushtoothpasteswimming shorts/trunkstowelunderpantscan of baked beanscloth/flannelsoapbooksuitcasetrousersshortsshoesteddy bearscissors You could also use this quizlet set to go over clothes vocabulary.

Flipped classroom | Oxford University Press What is lesson flipping? Is it an effective technique for language learning? Thomas Healy, co-author of Smart Choice Second Edition, explains how he has used the concept of ‘flipping’ in his classroom ahead of his webinar on 17th or 19th February on the topic. Since I started teaching over twenty years ago, there is one challenge that I continue to obsess about: I have many students, but there is only one of me. Dealing with the needs of individual learner’s needs, however, remains a major challenge. Flipping is a very simple notion. Fascinating, I thought, but would this work with language learners? Soon, it became apparent to me that I could not flip many elements of the class. When I went about this project, I was amazed at how simple the technology was. Camtasia, which is available for Mac and PC, can be downloaded easily from the Internet. Here is an example of how I’ve used Camtasia. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5.

Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".
