Adrian Leis

Our speaker, Adrian Leis, will introduce the concepts of flipped learning and how language teachers may be able to incorporate this method effectively into their classrooms. In addition to looking at the beginnings of the flipped classroom, he will consider various studies conducted with flipped learning in EFL environments and give hints to help those who are considering using flipped learning in their own classes. The presentation will be interactive and participants will have opportunities to discuss and share their experiences with the flipped classroom and other kinds of blended learning.
