This study aimed to determine the effects of two teaching methods namely, flipped classroom instruction and conventional instruction in teaching the least mastered competencies in the core subjects among Grade 8 students in one of the Junior High Schools in Zamboanga City who were purposively selected. A Quasi-Experimental Research using the non-randomized pre-test - post-test control group design and qualitative approach explored the effectiveness of the two teaching methods. The findings indicated that students in flipped classroom instruction and conventional instruction obtained higher scores in the post-test than the pre-test results in the core subjects. But, flipped classroom students got slightly higher mean scores as compared to those students who have been taught in the conventional instruction. However, statistically, no significant difference was found between the two methods in learning the least mastered competencies in Science, Mathematics and English. Further, results revealed that the students who were exposed to flipped classroom instruction and the conventional instruction improved in their level of knowledge in mastering the least learned concepts in the core subjects. The problems encountered in the flipped classroom model, however, were identified based on the interview conducted. It was found out that teachers were unfamiliar with the flipped classroom model and lack of time and resources hindered them to utilize the approach in their classes. Students were also challenged particularly on the availability of resources like gadgets and internet connection that resulted to disengagement of the students to watch the flipped videos at home. This study revealed that whatever method or approach used in teaching least mastered competencies would be considered effective in achieving life-long and meaningful learning. An instructional development program was developed to capacitate and elevate the performance of teachers in the implementation of the flipped classroom instruction to improve students’ performance.

Teaching foreign languages via flipped classrooms, in which the typical elements of a course are reversed, has been apopular pedagogy recently as the modern digital technology is flourishing unprecedentedly. The aim of this study isto review a selected sample of 50 studies on flipped classroom instruction in foreign language education publishedfrom 2014 to 2018 in Turkey and abroad. A content analysis was conducted for each study in terms of study years,study types, study locations, foreign languages taught, language skills taught, research methods, sampling, data tools,data analysis procedure and variables through a ‘Research Classification Form’. Results showed that studies weredone mostly as articles in 2016 in 14 countries mostly in Turkey using quantitative research designs commonly. Inthese studies, flipped classroom instruction was implemented for teaching all skills of English as a foreign language.Samples generally consisted of higher education students with lower than 50 as a sample size. In these studies, asquantitative data collection tools, achievement tests were utilized and as for analysis procedures, mean and standarddeviation were used predominantly. Additionally, the variables of Attitudes towards Foreign Language Lessons,Academic Performance, Perceptions, and Writing Performance were frequently researched. The findings obtainedfrom this study are expected to contribute to future studies conducted on flipped classrooms in foreign languageteaching.

This chapter offers definitions of “Flipping Classes” (FC), which are classes that shift learning responsibility towards students and employ more media outside of class to help learners prepare to contribute more during classroom time. Its primary purpose is to increase student engagement by the wiser use of CALL, TELL and SMALL (Social Media Enhanced Language Learning). In support of these aims, this chapter examines “Flipped Classroom” instruction with the purpose of mining applications and websites that can help teachers flip their classes more effectively. Using FC, students are more engaged and enjoy preparing for their lessons out of class. They also gain confidence and communication skills as they present in class. Various definitions and examples of flipped classes will be presented, and its educational aims discussed.
