hool, and higher education institutes such as Tsinghua University, University of ElectronicScience and Technology of China. The advantage of the flipped classroom is that thecontent, often the theoretical-based component of the lesson, becomes more easily accessedand controlled by the learners. A major roadblock or barrier to the implementation of thismodel is that many educators do not know what to do in the classroom with the time oncespent doing lectures. For educators, who are used to use the didactic model, a framework isneeded to assist them with the implementation of the flipped classroom and the effect of theflipped classroom needs to be proved. In view of this, the main purpose of this study is to makea survey on the effect of the English flipped classroom model after research and analysis ofdomestic and foreign flipped classroom models. With the practice of the English flippedclassroom model, what learning materials offered , what teaching procedures are and how toevaluate students’ learning could be clearly illustrated. Meanwhile, analysis was made toexplore whether students were satisfied with the model. Deeply research was carried out to examine the critical factors that affect students’ perceptions of and attitudes toward the Englishflipped model since this would determine whether the teachers would continue with thisapplication.
