IMPLEMENTATION OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM IN ENGLISH CLASS OF 5TH GRADE IN SECONDARY SCHOOL
Abstract
English prep class system has been implemented in 5th grade of secondary school recently in Turkey. Thanks to this prep class system, students started to have 14 hours of English classes. The aims of the study are to make students learn foreign language and to make students have four skills of a foreign language. Flipped classroom is an approach in which the lessons are presented to students online before students come to the classroom. This method encourages students to join the education more actively, furthermore; allows them to shape their learnings according to their interests and levels. Flipped Classroom English activities were carried out in 5th grades in the secondary school. Before this study started, the speaking exam which was prepared according to European Language Frame was implemented as a pre-test. During the study, the teacher sent English language teaching videos which were prepared by herself to the students before English classes. Students watched these videos several times without the limit of time or place so they learnt the subject before coming to the class. At the end of the study, the speaking exam was carried out again as a post-test. The success ratio of speaking test increased from %66 to %87. Moreover, satisfaction questionnaires were carried out on both the parents and the students. The results showed that students and the parents were satisfied from the project with percent of 92 and percent of 94.
