Abstract

The teachers who handle large classes face problems in catering to the needs of the students who have different learning abilities. The traditional classroom method arguably does not offer a solution to this problem, and as a result, slow learners among the students become disengaged and demotivated. Introducing flipped teaching method will be effective in dealing with the diversity of the learners as well as the disproportionate class strength. This paper attempts to highlight the advantage of the flipped classroom over the traditional classroom, and explains the ways to implement flipped classroom especially in English language classes.
