Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore effects of Flipped-Jigsaw collaborative model in college English reading class and investigate the learner perceptions and satisfaction of the model. To achieve this goal, surveys were conducted in the fall semester of 2019, targeting freshman students. A total of 355 college students participated in the pre-questionnaire on the first week of the semester and 315 participants responded after the implementation of the Flipped-Jigsaw collaborative model. In parallel with the online survey, interviews were carried out with 12 students for an in-depth analysis. The results show that students were quite satisfied with the flipped-Jigsaw collaborative model of English reading class in its implementation and effects. Interview results also verified the high satisfaction of the students. Applying Flipped-Jigsaw collaborative model to English reading class will improve the satisfaction of students in their learning and thus, enhance the effectiveness of the education. Extended follow-up studies on this educational model are required based on this research.
