Flipped classroom for language schools

Business of language schools is built around providing foreign language teaching services. Secret formula for a successful ELT business lies in increasing the quality and efficiency of the study process. The more students can see results of their study, the more money and recommendations they are ready to give to the language school. No any other advertising or advanced CRM systems can work better if clients are not happy with the service. 

According to recent studies, educational results can be improved by means of the concept called “flipped classroom” around which we are building our platform for language schools - PushtoLearn.

How it works
Flipped classroom means that students work on their own at home and in class attention is paid to developing communicative skills. Students study topics in class, working in the format of dialogues, group activities and class discussions. In the comfort of their homes students take various activities on the online platform working with vocabulary and grammar exercises. Listening and comprehension, sentence assembly, fill in the gaps, translation and other activities – all these formats are suitable for self-study. 

On the online platform:

- Students can give more time to activities which fit them best
- Students can repeat and practice skills unlimited number of  times
- Tasks vary to support students’ interest
- Key indicator of their study is “activities”.

Result
Thus, flipped classroom – combining offline classes and online platform - allows:

- blend digital resources with traditional teacher-led classes
- efficiently use the time of offline classes
- choose digital content for desired study results
- use online components to support students who have different study pace
- encourage self-study of students

The better you teach foreign languages, the more clients you get.
