Abstract

Under the support of information technology, flipped classroom teaching has been used in junior high school English teaching in our country more and more widely. Flipped classroom overturns traditional classroom teaching mode and brings fresh ideas to teachers and students. This thesis firstly introduces the origin and concept of flipped classroom, and then explains Du Langkou educational model, which is earlier than flipped classroom but their teaching ideas are the same. Under the background of a new round of curriculum reform of basic education, this thesis focuses on the application of flipped classroom in junior high school English teaching. The discussion is about three aspects: flipped class, flipped roles and flipped feedback. Then Du Langkou educational mode and flipped classroom are compared. Finally, some suggestions on the application of flipped classroom are put forward. The research of this thesis hopes to provide guidance for the application of flipped classroom in junior high school English teaching.
