Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to investigate lessons taught for online and face-to-face sections in a
Flipped classroom for EFL undergraduate students. The platform used for the online learning was
English Discoveries Online (EDO). Furthermore, the students' English level based on the platform
placement test was Basic 2. The method of the research is qualitative employing descriptive and
reflective field notes as the main data gathering, as well as documents recorded from the platform
and interview as the supporting tools of gathering data. The results show that the teacher never used
the platform communication tools to share information with the students during the online section.
Other tools such as magazines, games, and grammar books were also not used. Those were under the
consideration of teacher's sympathy to the students; as she knew that it would be too much for them.
In addition, the teacher claimed that the lessons in the platform were too western-style, therefore
activities that were connected to students' real life and engaged students' point of views were crucial.
Finally, the use of first language to engage students during face-to-face class worked well. |
