Abstract

Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter. The present work includes on one hand the theoretical framework of this model, and on the other hand, recommendations and comments on its implementation in Spanish as a Second Language course at the university.

Key words: flipped learning, flipped classroom, blended learning, Spanish as a foreign language (SFL)
