You can start an EFL/ESL flipped classroom in 3 easy steps!

In the changing world of English learning, EFL/ESL flipped classrooms are a new way to teach that makes learning more interactive and focused on students. By using BINGOBONGO Learning’s resources, teachers can easily switch to this new way of teaching. This change helps students become more involved and learn faster.

What is an EFL/ESL Flipped Classroom?

An EFL/ESL flipped classroom reverses the traditional learning sequence, allowing students to first explore new concepts at home through videos and interactive materials. This shift transforms the classroom into a dynamic environment where students apply what they’ve learned through practical exercises and collaborative projects, making every moment in class more valuable and focused on higher-order thinking skills.

How Can an EFL/ESL Flipped Classroom Benefit Your Lessons?

• Simplify Lesson Planning: Flipped classrooms simplify the lesson planning process, providing teachers with structured, ready-to-use materials that cover a wide range of topics. This means less time spent preparing and more time dedicated to guiding student progress.
• Enhanced Student Engagement: With the groundwork laid before class, students come prepared, leading to deeper understanding and a classroom buzzing with active learning.
• Accelerated Learning Pace: The ability to access and review materials at their own pace outside the classroom empowers students to master topics faster, leading to more advanced learning opportunities.
• Efficient Class Time Use: This model maximizes classroom time for engaging activities rather than introducing basic concepts, ensuring that every minute contributes to solidifying students’ understanding and skills.
• Diverse Learning Styles: Flipped classrooms cater to various learning styles by providing materials in different formats, from videos to interactive games, accommodating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners alike.
• Technology Integration: Incorporating digital tools and online resources seamlessly into the learning process not only prepares students for the digital age but also keeps lessons dynamic and accessible.
• Parental Involvement: By bringing part of the learning process home, parents gain insights into their children’s education, enabling them to support and participate in their academic journey.
