ABSTRACT

Greater access to technology has opened up new avenues in terms of how to provide students with information and what students are able to do with it. The flipped classroom, in conjunction with technology, offers a model for creating a classroom environment that offers students more active learning exercises when compared to traditional classroom organization. The adaptation of technology and the flipped classroom may bring success to the language classroom and create a communicative learning environment. Incorporating technology into the flipped classroom provided participants with an effective, interactive pedagogy that allowed them to transfer new information and make sense of and assimilate the information. The addition of technology in the flipped classroom not only allowed participants to come to class well prepared, but it also made learning very efficient. Participants were able to visit the forums frequently at convenient times, enabling them to discuss the project and become more fluent with the topic.
