The influence of flipped classroom to improve listening skills of the second baccalaureate of the Juan Dagoberto Montenegro educational unit.

Abstract

The present research aims to describe and apply flipped classrooms in the development of listening skills using the qualitative approach. In addition, this study investigates different concepts about the flipped classroom, and its benefits and analyzes the impact and influence of its application focusing on the activities for the development of listening skills. In this research worked with 3 English teachers of the Juan Dagoberto Montenegro Rodriguez Educational Unit, through an interview with open-ended questions, facilitating their response more effectively. It was possible to identify that most of the students presented problems with different points of this skill. In addition, the flipped classroom works thanks to technological tools such as the Internet and online apps. Teachers can choose the appropriate activities according to the level, age, and what they want to develop in their students. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the importance of the flipped classroom is currently relevant after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic that forced many educational institutions to adapt to a new modality that included autonomous work and academic reinforcement online.
