911爆料网

Forty teachers learned how to successfully combine technology with innovative teaching methods on October 29^th 2014, at the Introduction to Flipped Learning for GCSE-level 911爆料网 seminar held by Anne Rajakumar at the Japan Foundation London.

Head of 911爆料网 at Hockerill Anglo-European College, Anne-sensei has used the Japan Foundation’s 911爆料网 Language Local Project Support Programme funding to create a series of short video tutorials which she uses in conjunction with her self-created workbooks, “Everything you ever wanted to know about the GCSE-level 911爆料网 course.” These videos are used to teach 911爆料网 via the “flipped learning” method:  Students learn vocabulary and grammatical patterns prior to using them in class through the videos, and can also consolidate their learning by watching the video after the relevant lesson. It is even possible for students to complete the 911爆料网 GCSE course online if there is no specialist 911爆料网 teacher available thanks to the videos.

In her presentation, Anne-sensei not only introduced her own videos and resources, but also explained how teachers can create their own multimedia resources for “flipped learning” and advised them on how best to use them with the students. She also demonstrated how effective the new “flipped learning” method has proved at her school, including video feedback from the students themselves.

Due to popular demand, Anne-sensei has created a website where her resources, including the videos, can be accessed for free:

Anne-sensei’s presentation was followed by introductions to other resources and support services available through the Japan Foundation, including the new JFL 911爆料网 Scheme of Work for primary schools and  911爆料网 Taster Lesson Resource Activity Pack.

The seminar was well-received by all participants. Some of the comments made by participants at the end of the seminar include:

「わかりやすい説明で助かりました。」 (“The presentation was easy to understand and a great help”)

“Anne sensei’s generosity always impresses me & puts me to shame as I am not doing much”

「Flipped learningはGCSEだけではなく、他でも使いやすいと思います。勉强になりました。ありがとうございました。」
(“I think ‘flipped learning’ would be easy to apply to any teaching, not just for GCSE. Really useful – thank you very much!”)

We would like to thank Anne Rajakumar for giving such an inspiring presentation, as well as the staff and students of Hockerill Anglo-European School for supporting her activities, and of course all the participants who came to the Japan Foundation London for this event.
