Flipped classroom as a new promoting class management technique

Abstract EN

The present paper is a small-scale study that involves the application of the flipped classroom model in teaching conversation.

The model has been applied to first year university level students at the Department of English/ College of Education for Women/University of Baghdad.

The flipping technique has been applied using a close Facebook page that involves only the professor and her students.

Results have shown that such a model helps university professors to prepare and announce the readiness of their lectures to be read and visited by students.

Such a technique fits the new semester policy to be adopted by the college soon.

This is because in case there is more than one professor at the same department who teaches a given subject, students will choose the one who is known by her/his announcement of attractive and comprehensible teaching materials.

Accordingly, the early announcement about a given teaching material functions as an act or an invitation for students to attend a professor's classes.

Further, such a model highly suits the situations whereby students cannot access the classes face-to-face due to lack of security issues, or natural disasters, etc.
