Research on the Construction of Flipped Classroom Model for Vocabulary Instruction and Its Effectiveness: Based on Teaching Practice of Three Colleges
A Moodle based flipped classroom model was constructed for college English vocabulary instruction in the present study. Based on the model,18 week teaching practice was undertaken to investigate how different teaching models influence the development of different proficiency level learners' vocabulary knowledge. It has indicated that in flipped classroom setting,intermediate and advanced subjects' acquisition rate of breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge is significantly higher than those under traditional vocabulary teaching model, while primary subjects' acquisition rate is a little higher than those under traditional model,but not significantly. It suggests the flipped classroom model and the set of micro videos involved in the study are more applicable to intermediate and advanced EFL learners. The findings will direct more scholars' attention into individualized instruction.
