Typical Profile
How does it meet the student need
3.
How does it meet the student need
1 The blended class in the form of flipped classroom forces the students to think and reflect for a quite enough period before starting the actual application of the content
2 While all adult learners are goal oriented and seek to learn the language as soon as possible, the weight on the learner in such an approach makes the learning in most situation the responsibility of the learner him/herself which is quite suitable for the professional learners like ours.
What could be improved about the
learning or teaching?
3.
Suggested improvement about the teaching
Teaching learning skills such as active
reading can improve the learning
outcomes as the student apply them
gradually and effectively.
