IMPROVING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODOLOGY THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed educational practices worldwide, particularly in English language teaching (ELT). Among contemporary innovations, the Flipped Classroom (FC) model and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have emerged as powerful pedagogical tools that promote learner-centered education. This study explores the integration of the Flipped Classroom approach and AI technologies to improve English language teaching methodology. The research examines how AI-powered platforms can support pre-class learning, personalized instruction, formative assessment, and student engagement within the flipped learning environment. Through an analysis of recent studies and pedagogical practices, the article demonstrates that the combined use of FC and AI enhances learners’ language proficiency, autonomy, critical thinking, and collaborative skills.
