Session Title:
Flipped Learning in Language Teaching.
Logo:
Abstract:
This five-week online workshop is designed for both those new to flipped learning and those who are already flipping their classes. In flipped learning, content delivery takes place outside of class freeing the instructor to focus class time on interactive, collaborative projects and activities for maximum language acquisition in a meaningful context. Participants will practice with various video creation tools, gain skills in curating already existing media, and will learn how to effectively incorporate these resources into their teaching practices. Of course, whenever possible, the workshop employs a flipped approach!
Target audience:
This session is for both teachers that are completely new to flipped learning as well as teachers that are already flipping in K-12, higher education, and/or adult education. This course is for online and classroom educators, as well as course developers, curriculum coordinators, and program administrators.
Session objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will have
mastered the concepts underlying the flipped learning approach and how it differs from a flipped classroom
interacted with some of the leading international experts in the flipped learning movement during our weekly webcasts
created flipped content for a lesson
seen examples of flipped learning in different contexts and at different levels of expertise when flipping (flipped classroom 101, flipped learning, in-class flip, etc.)
networked with other participants and shared flipped lesson plans and projects
implemented a flipped lesson with students (if currently teaching) and posted about it in a forum
designed a plan for flipping one course or one segment of a course in the future
