Application of the Flipped Classroom methodology in a virtual platform for teaching English language grammar in level B1

Resumen

The Flipped classroom is a pedagogical methodology that modifies the natural order of teaching. This study analyzes this new trend to provide students with an innovative technique to support their learning of the English language grammar at the B1 + level. The traditional methodology is replaced by the use of technological resources to incorporate them in an effective way in the teaching practice with different instructions and materials. In this way we want to investigate if the use of the flipped classroom methodology influences the teaching of grammar in this level, for this we used the Edmodo platform where we put designs of presentations and attractive videos to the level B1 + of English Center of Languages of the  Technical University of Ambato. For the investigation, a pre-test and a post-test were performed on a single control group. The evaluation was positive and significant because the results of the average post-test scores reflected a high improvement in academic performance.
