Flipped classroom method: a personalized approach by teacher Nataliia Landau

One of our teachers actively uses the flipped classroom method — and this model significantly increases the effectiveness of lessons.

The teacher explains:

“I prefer the ‘flipped classroom’ approach, where students receive materials in advance and can explore the topic on their own. Then, during the lesson, we focus on practice, discussion, and consolidation. This gives children interest, motivation, and quicker success in mastering the material.”

How the Lesson Works:

– During the lesson, the teacher and students practice dialogues
– Analyze difficult points
– Complete interactive activities
– Communicate in English as much as possible
– The lesson becomes active, engaging, and motivating

Why This Is Effective for Our Students:

– students are less afraid of making mistakes
– come to the lesson prepared
– start speaking faster
– remember the material better
– participate more willingly in class

How the Role of the Teacher Is Changing:

“Modern education is transforming, and the teacher’s role is changing as well. They are no longer the main source of information but become a mentor, moderator, and consultant, guiding students’ work, helping them structure knowledge, and supporting effective learning.

At the early stages of language learning, the teacher plays a particularly important role — helping younger learners or beginners build a foundation and gain confidence.

However, as students progress to more advanced levels, prepare for national exams or international tests, student independence becomes the key factor:

– the ability to work independently with materials
– learn new vocabulary and watch videos
– study charts, grammar topics
– prepare systematically for tests

Each year, the complexity of educational programs increases, and a student’s ability to self-learn becomes even more important.

In this system, the teacher takes on the role of a manager of the learning process:
they assess progress, adjust the learning trajectory, help avoid common mistakes, and maintain motivation.

That is why in the flipped classroom approach, the growing emphasis on independence is especially important. This method develops responsibility for personal results and leads to higher performance in interim tests and final exams.”

The Result:

The flipped classroom method gives our students confidence, steady progress, and a sense of achievement from the very first lessons.

We are proud of our teachers who implement modern approaches and create an atmosphere of support and development for children.
