ABSTRACT

In Korea, universities have been providing liberal arts education to improve their English proficiency. There are problems such as lack of response to various levels of students, native English professors' lack of ability of teaching and classroom management, and rigidity of teaching methods. Recently, it has been trying to induce learner participation by using flipped learning in domestic and foreign universities considering learners' level and interests. In Korea, however, there are not many empirical studies using flipped learning in general English courses at universities. In this study, we designed the flipped learning lesson and developed the necessary apps for English education, PowerPoint slides, and other instructional materials and applied them to the actual classroom. A traditional teaching method and a flipped learning method were applied to control and experimental groups for sixty-three students who attended in general English classes at a local university. There were no meaningful differences in academic achievement and class satisfaction between the two groups. However, the students in the experimental group responded very positively to the before-class learning and overall satisfaction in the assessment of awareness for flipped learning. We hope this study will contribute to the application and dissemination of flipped learning in general English courses at universities.
