Task 1: | After studying the given links I came to the conclusion that FLIPPED INSTRUCTION is an extraordinary and fresh way of delivering information to the students, that implies new methodology in the proces teaching. The focus is put on better understanding of the teaching material. Students can do their best in learning a new topic on their own, then clarity those parts or steps that seemed to them confusing with the help of a teacher, who plays the role of a "guide" and not the one of "google" like in traditional classes, just giving the necessary amount of information. |
Task 2: | I'm really not sure if the flipped classroom model for language teaching is going to succeed in our country, and the main reason may be the fact that our community is uninformed with its benefits. For example, lots of people think that listening very attentively during classes is the best way to understand the topic, well then wouldn't it be better to have the possibility to listen to it several times according to your will? Then what about home tutoring? The necessity of it will be considerably reduced. There is a common belief which says that teachers can do almost everything, but sadly none of us can deal with a number of 15-18 students at the same time and be sure they all understand what we were teaching. Flipped classroom allows us to spare time and focus on student A who has some questions while student B is practicing . And why not to mention interest? It stands at the core of everything. Beautiful presentation with interactive sounds and colorful letters and backgrounds is going to have a better influence then a simple board or book. |
Task 3: | The Moldavian traditional approaches in teaching are wholly based on "paper". Teachers cannot separate themselves from it. Taking as an example "portfolio" , they feel saifier to collect a 5kg folder of papers, than having a little link on their phones or computers and access it whatever they need to. End of semester final e-portfolio lesson shows us perfectly how technologies can make our lives easier. Moreover it develops the whole set of skills even the esthetic one, why not? |
Task 4: Create your own Flipped EFL lesson plan for one of the topics you will be teaching.
