STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL APPLIED TO ADVANCED ENGLISH READING: A CASE STUDY OF ENGLISH MAJORS AT THAI BINH DUONG UNVERSITY, VIETNAM
Abstract
Self-study is considered one of the indispensable skills of learners in general and university students in particular in the 4.0 technology era. In order to develop the spirit of active inquiry, knowledge acquisition, and a flexible learning environment, this study examined the application of the flipped classroom model for an academic Advanced Reading course for students majoring in English. It aimed to find out the factors affecting students’ awareness and understanding of students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the flipped model for this subject. Research results collected through indepth interviews with 15 students showed that there were many positive responses to this model and pointed out the limitations of the model for Advanced Reading, suggesting how teachers can develop more effective teaching methods in this area.
