| Popis: | 104 The flipped classroom has become a popular issue around the world. Previous studies show the effectiveness and pedagogical benefits on the use of the flipped classroom model in language learning, mostly in a higher level of education. However, the studies which have empirically documented the link between the junior high school students’ English listening and the flipped classroom model is scant. English listening comprehension has been included as an important part of the Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School Students in Taiwan since 2015. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect, responses and cooperative learning of using the flipped classroom model on junior high school students’ English listening proficiency. This research involved listening pre-test and post-test, a questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and classroom observation which were analyzed in quantitative and qualitative methods respectively. 48 junior high school students were recruited to participate in the study. One group of the participants was the control group who received traditional lecture-based instruction while the other group of the participants was the experimental group who received the instruction of the flipped classroom model. The total length of the study lasted fourteen weeks including pre-test and post-test before and after the treatment. Results of this study showed the flipped classroom model enhanced junior high school students’ English listening proficiency and it was a significant form of learning in English listening instruction. The students made progress in English listening after receiving the flipped classroom instruction. The students’ responses were highly positive on the use of the flipped classroom model. Besides, the students enhanced their learning ability by cooperative learning. To conclude, this study highlights the benefits of the flipped classroom model and provides English teachers with a better understanding of how the technology facilitates students’ English listening. The pedagogical implications and suggestions for future research in English listening are discussed. |
