Promoting Flipped Classroom Model in Teaching Writing of Efl Learners
Abstract
Teaching writing requires interactive and motivating activities in EFL classroom. Usually, EFL learners lost their interest and get discouraged in writing class so they tend to avoid writing activities and exercises. The reasons are they get difficulties in exploring their ideas in written form and they cannot consult and meet the teacher individually during class time because of limited time for teaching. Thus, EFL learners need motivation in triggering themselves to write. Teachers have very significant contribution to improve quality of learning and support the learners to maintain their motivation by applying interactive teaching model. Therefore, flipped classroom is alternative model that could be utilized in managing inside or outside classroom activities. It is a digital technology used to shift direct instruction outside of the group learning to individual learning, usually via videos. This article aims to share the practice and challenges of applying flipped classroom model in teaching writing.
