This paper outlines the steps and process of flipping a classroom, using the author’s own experience flipping a university-level English speaking class as an example. After reviewing the concept of flipping the classroom—having students engage in instruction-oriented activities such as reading and watching videos outside of class and conduct practice-oriented exercises in class—the motivations behind flipping the classroom are reviewed, followed by a basic overview of how flipping the classroom can be approached. In particular, 4 steps are described that lead readers through the planning process of flipping the classroom, with tips and ideas about how others can follow this process. Though a frank review of what was both successful and problematic, the author also provides an opportunity for others to improve upon the process.

本論では、筆者の経験に基づき、大学レベルの英会話の授業を例に用い、反転授業への道のりを段階別に概説していく。従来教室で行われてきた教員による説明的学習を、ビデオ等を用いて自宅で行う代わりに、教室では、従来自宅で行われてきた練習・復習課題に取り組むという反転授業の授業法の概要を述べた後、反転授業を試みることになった動機を明記し、反転授業に移行する方法を検討する。具体的に、反転授業の実施までに経てきた計画の4段階を詳述し、実施に当たるヒント・アイディアを提供する。成功した点・問題が発生した点を率直に検討することにより、反転授業への移行過程を改善する心得も提供する。
