Abstract

The paper begins with the introduction of the origin and wide application of flipped classroom model (hereafter refers to as FCM) in American schools, and then analyzes the basic connotations and framework of FCM with creative thinking. Five famous American FCMs are illustrated in detail and compared in different areas, which are used for reference in the design of our own future class. The highlight and creation of the paper is presented in Part III expounding the creative design and practice of Student-led FCM in English learning in Chinese high schools. It includes the elaborate design of pre-class independent learning with two indispensable components of Chinese FCM: micro-course and in-class activity learning with group discussion. The paper finally demonstrates a case study of Student-led FCM in English class designed and implemented by the students in Dalian Yuming Senior High School tentatively, providing inspiration and references for the creative application of Student-led FCM in Chinese high schools.
