Among the teaching methodologies, the flipped classroom aligns most closely with my pedagogical vision. By moving input phases such as grammar explanations or vocabulary introduction outside the classroom, I create more time for interaction, speaking practice and feedback during lessons. This approach allows students to process content at their own pace and reduces cognitive overload, while classroom time becomes a space for dialogue and meaningful language use.
The flipped classroom also responds well to the diversity of 21st century classrooms. It supports differentiation, increases student engagement and fosters learner autonomy. At the same time, I remain aware of its challenges, such as its reliance on digital skills, student responsibility and trust. These obstacles underline the need for careful scaffolding and gradual implementation.
Finally, my teaching strategies are informed by an understanding of the stages of language acquisition. By adapting support to learners’ developmental stages, from preproduction to advanced proficiency, I aim to ensure that each student receives the guidance needed to grow confidently and continuously.
