Flipped Instruction in CALL
Although the literature on flipped instruction to date appears to be relatively atheoretical, the benefits listed in the flipped literature fit well with theories of optimal learning environments and student engagement. This chapter links flipped instruction to these two models to form a theoretical framework for CALL use. The chapter then briefly describes two CALL contexts in which this framework was implemented. The first is a short Mandarin course for teacher education students, and the second is an intensive ESL course that was part of a summer language and culture camp. Observations, student comments and actions, and course documents form the basis for this discussion. The chapter concludes by suggesting how flipped instruction might work in these and other CALL contexts; related issues are also addressed.
