KOTESOL International Conference 2016
(Concurrent Session)
Kevin Ryan, JALT
Flipping Online Video for Classroom Discussion
Abstract
Increasing autonomy while focusing on language development requires a balance of maintaining a rich flow of feedback from peers while gradually releasing control on a range of activities. This presentation looks at a model of a "flipped" classroom using online videos and Learning Management System (LMS) software to promote autonomy in language learning. Students choose videos, develop them into lessons, and present in small groups for immediate peer feedback. We sample activities, videos of student interaction, and student feedback on the process.
