“Flipped Class” as an Individual Approach Technology in Teaching English to IT Master Degree Students

Abstract:

The challenges of the current life conditions interfere with all aspects of university tuition. These make educators focus on their skills and abilities while providing training to the students, where master courses stand apart due to the special students’ needs. Teaching a foreign language to students of all types and levels, we become aware it could be a tradition for the educators in the Russian Federation technical university to analyze the best practices used for bachelor students’ training and their suitability for further education of post-graduate students. The teaching technology to examine in this research is face-to-face and inverted class technology; the first one should be reconsidered because of the on-line education requirements, while the second one has not been adapted to master students’ training to the full extent.

We also examine if face-to-face and inverted (flipped) class technology appear to become the interchangeable ones at university and what upgraded tools and new ones are necessary to the new teaching technology as well as new methodologies.
