Abstract

The third and last case study examines blended and flipped classrooms utilizing mobile devices in teaching EFL in Japan. M-Learning can offer a rich, motivating, informal, contextual, and ubiquitous learning environment, where students control their learning time, environment, and pace. Third-year economics majors were given iPads, with e-books integrated into the curriculum. Three empirical studies examined the effectiveness of blended and flipped learning with various emerging technologies from voice recognition to Web-based applications accessed by iPads and smartphones. Results of computer assessment tests such as the CASEC, OPIc speaking test, and TOEIC indicated that blended and flipped lessons helped students to improve their overall English proficiency better than traditional approaches.
