Teaching Strategies in EFL Flipped Classroom: A Trend Towards Education 4.0

Abstract

Entering the era of Education 4.0, human is strongly allied with technology to create new possibilities. In the realm of education, the new possibility is the integration of technology into education, creating the new learning approach previously inconceivable. The intention of this paper is to study the teaching strategies in conducting an EFL flipped classroom in the university level. By observing several teaching sessions of the flipped classroom and locating relevant documents, the researchers found four teaching strategies namely (1) making content understandable; (2) eliciting students’ responses; (3) checking students’ understanding; and (4) encouraging interpersonal communication. The analysis sheds light on the way the flipped classroom is conducted so that it can provide meaningful information for other educators who have yet to transform their traditional teaching.
