A flipped French class
I believe flipping my classroom will enhance the students learning. It will give them a resource to use outside of the classroom to help them study vocabulary, learn grammar points and review at any time. I know I can save a lot of class time if I can get the students familiar with concepts before they come into the classroom. Then we will have more time to practice the concepts and apply them to real-life situations. I am certain it will be a real struggle to get my students to watch the videos at home. I will have to make it as easy as possible for them to access it. I'm excited to see what the outcome is from my first video.

I think a foreign language class is a perfect place for videos. It would be a benefit for the students to be able to listen to the pronunciation at home. I know that Google translator does this as well, but it is really hard sometimes to pick up those sounds.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that you will have to make it as easy as possible to access. That is why I always choose You Tube even when I house the video somewhere else as well. Kids know You Tube!
I am very interested in following your implementation of flipped learning. We have never had a world language teacher in any of our sessions but it seems like a great application. I know that I need to learn languages at my own pace and having a lesson on video accompanied by a teacher would be helpful to me as a learner.
