Keywords:
Flipped Classroom, English Language Teaching, Learner-Centered Education, EFL Instruction, Autonomy, Engagement, Active LearningAbstract
The flipped classroom model has transformed traditional English language teaching by repositioning the roles of both teachers and learners. This study explores the effectiveness of flipped classrooms in promoting learner-centered instruction within EFL (English as a Foreign Language) contexts. Through classroom implementation and data analysis, the research demonstrates how flipping the classroom can enhance language acquisition, increase learner autonomy, and foster deeper engagement. The findings suggest that this approach can serve as a powerful pedagogical tool when thoughtfully integrated into language education..
