Abstract
"In present-day advances in technology, recent ideas have opened new paths for education. Among all these new paths, Flipped Learning (FL) is the teaching methodology concerned in this study. El- Bassuony (2016) states that FL is part of the active learning where home instruction and technology to practice are linked. This pedagogical approach will transform the group learning into a more significant individual learning process. Therefore, this research seeks to look at the effectiveness of FL in an EFL class to teach common nouns to children in first grade of elementary school, besides the students’ perception when comparing traditional class and FL is stated as well. This experimental research has a group of 12 students from Instituto Los Sauces as participants. The tools used for collecting data were a pre and post diagnostic test to measure the participants’ improvement and effectiveness of FL when learning EFL common nouns. In addition, a questionnaire to collect the participants’ opinions was applied as well as a rubric to evaluate the EFL teacher when applying FL in class. The results of this inquiry suggest the effectiveness of FL when teaching common nouns in an EFL and demonstrates students’ preferences about FL over traditional class".
