The flipped classroom: a challenge for teaching communicative English at the higher level

Within the framework of the research project called Study of English teaching practices in the Faculty of Engineering and Agricultural Sciences of the National University of San Luis and its relationship with the demands of the work environment, we designed a didactic proposal for teaching communicative English for students of the engineering careers of the mentioned university. This proposal will be carried out with the blended modality, applying the teaching model called flipped classroom (Bergmann and Sams, 2012). Such model implies a different way in which the teaching and learning processes happen. Thus, it basically consists of reversing the traditional order of the events that occur inside and outside the class. The objective of this work is to socialize the development of the aforementioned project, its main results and the academic proposal that resulted from the findings.
