OIB Language and Literature �International option �L/L syllabus: 13 works � 6 hours and a half per week �Includes: ◦ Traditional study of literature (close reading, essay writing, commentary practice, debates, discussions, group/pair work, project-based pedagogy, oral practice, presentations, …) ◦ Guest speakers, webinars, online creative competitions, projects involving American and Frenchspeaking authors, …) ◦ But also flipped learning (when most appropriate), ◦ And IT-enhanced classes. 3

Objective: Combining 4 essential motivation factors �ICT: �collaboration, �content creation, �online publishing, �Fun and engaging activities, �Authentic communication, �Learning with one’s peers AND experts. 4

My definition of the flipped classroom Concept which allows teachers to share resources with their pupils and to collaborate easily with teachers from umpteen countries, which gives the students an opportunity to study at their pace, to study differently depending on their learning styles (different types of resources are offered), which permits them to work in groups and help each other, build their own learning and go further than they would have in a traditional class. For instance… 5

What’s the flipped classroom? Studying drama and prose �Drama Padlet �A Streetcar Named Desire �Flipped classroom The Great Gatsby Shakespeare Hamlet Death of a Salesman 6

HOMEWORK SCHOOLWORK Studying 5 texts/videos in groups of 4 students maximum (reading and listening skills) while making notes. Different documents leads to information gap in class. Sharing information on a topic (each group gives a short talk), the peers ask questions/interact. Alternately, each group can write a short article on Fodey (speaking, writing skills). Studying a video (Ted Ed video for instance) with varied tasks to complete before class. Discussing the answers and debating about the video. Explaining what was not understood. Going further. 7
