This document discusses flipped learning in MFL (modern foreign language) classrooms. It begins by explaining that flipped learning turns traditional homework on its head by having students complete presentation elements at home as homework through videos. This frees up class time for applying knowledge and practicing with teacher guidance. Potential benefits include differentiated instruction, mastery learning, increased class time for activities, and engaging students through new technologies. The rest of the document provides an example of a flipped MFL lesson, addresses common pitfalls and myths, and suggests tools and other teachers to follow for learning more about flipped learning.
