Abstract

Considerable effort has been invested in innovative learning practices in English Foreign Language courses (EFL) in universities. Flipped classroom model transforms passive listeners into active learners in school and home activities pace. Flipped classroom model and the foreign language teaching methods are student-centred learning environments in which students should have a certain level of self-regulated learning skills. The study suggest a model for flipped classroom implementations with regard to self-regulated learning strategies in order to keep students more active in the EFL courses. Students were allowed to apply goal setting and planning, rehearsing, help seeking, monitoring, testing, time management, organising, regulating and note taking strategies within the model in online and face to face sessions. We hope the suggested model can contribute to improve listening, reading, writing and speaking skills of students in EFL courses.

Soyut

Ters yüz sınıf modeli okul ve ev etkinlikeri ile öğrencileri pasif dinleyicilerden aktif öğrenenlere dönüştürür. Ters yüz sınıf modeli ile yabancı dil öğretimi yöntemleri, öğrencilerin belirli düzeyde öz-düzenleyici öğrenme becerilerine sahip olması gerektirir. Bu çalışma, öğrencileri yabancı dil olarak İngilizce dersinde daha aktif tutmak için öz-düzenleyici öğrenme stratejilerini işe koşan ters yüz sınıf uygulamaları için bir model önermektedir. Model öğrencilerin amaç belirleme ve planlama, tekrarlama, yardım arama, izleme, test etme, zaman yönetimi, organizasyon, düzenleme ve not alma stratejilerinin çevrimiçi ve yüz yüze oturumlarda uygulamalarını içermektedir. Önerilen modelin yabancı dil olarak İngilizce dersinde öğrencilerin dinleme, okuma, yazma ve konuşma becerilerinin gelişmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
