The Impact Of Flipped Classroom Methodology On Grammar Acquisition And Learner Engagement In Karakalpak EFL Settings
Abstract
The flipped classroom methodology has emerged as a transformative approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, promoting active learning by shifting direct instruction outside the classroom and emphasizing interactive, practice-based activities during class time. This study explores the impact of the flipped classroom on grammar acquisition and learner engagement in Karakalpak EFL settings, where traditional lecture-based instruction dominates. Drawing on recent research and pilot studies, the article demonstrates that the flipped model significantly enhances learners' grammatical understanding and increases their motivation and participation. Challenges such as technological access and learner readiness are also discussed, with recommendations for adapting the flipped approach to local contexts. The findings suggest that integrating flipped classrooms into Karakalpak EFL programs can lead to more effective language learning outcomes by fostering autonomy, critical thinking, and sustained engagement.
