The flipped classroom approach is a teaching methodology that has gained popularity in various educational settings, including English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. In a flipped classroom, the traditional dynamic of the classroom is inverted as students engage with instructional materials outside of class, typically through online resources, prior to attending the classroom session. The flipped classroom approach holds potential for enhancing ESP courses. By utilizing online resources and shifting the focus of in-class time towards application and active learning, the flipped classroom offers opportunities for self-directed learning, higher-order thinking, and language acquisition within the context of specific disciplines. Effective implementation of the flipped classroom approach requires careful planning, instructional design, and consideration of learner needs, ultimately leading to a more engaging and effective ESP learning experience.
