In May, we applied the "Flipped classroom" method in the English lessons in the sixth grade classes on the topic "Will or going to… future".
Instead of teaching students in the classroom about the grammatical rules for proper use of "Will" or "be going to", the teacher gave them links to video lessons on that topic so that the students could get to know the rules at a convenient for them time outside the school , which is the goal of the so-called "Flipped classroom".
Video tutorials were two - one in a shorter version -https://www.youtube.com/watch? V = iVvttbA13Uw
and another with detailed explanations - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5pjf1n0viE.

During the next English lesson, the rules were discussed, and in the following exercises the students showed how well they had mastered the use of these grammatical tenses in English language. Where it was necessary, the teacher once again explained the proper use of the verb forms. Using this method – flipped classroom, students had more time during the lesson to practice the correct use of these tenses.
By using this method - Flipped classroom, the ways of teaching the theoretical parts of the lessons are diversified and this method allows the students to watch the explanations of the rules many times and when they want to. And during the lesson in the classroom, the students can confirm what they have learned and correct the mistakes they make.
