The flipped classroom incorporates a unique and innovative approach to classroom and teaching methodology. Using technology, a flipped classroom aims to enhance student learning by using class time to focus on student understanding. In a flipped classroom, teachers must post content online in the form of videos. This allows students to go over the lecture at their own time and pace (Wolff and Chan, 2016). This enables the class to focus and expand on areas and clear up misconceptions during class time.
Some advantages of this learning style are:
I feel there is a lot of gain by applying this approach. Institutes and students can benefit by adopting this approach because more useful material will be accessible at the click of a mouse. Commitment must be agreed to by both, student and teacher. Institutes must take external factors into consideration and think of the student's needs first. Practical and suitable control measures need to be in place to support this type of pedagogy. If successful, this model be the next big thing since CLT was introduced. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ References Wolff, L.

I look forward to applying this with my students when I teach abroad. I think Communicative teaching will not be replaced but maybe Flipped learning will be incorporated in somehow!
