ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ
INCREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A LANGUAGE
COURSE IN SCARCE CLASS TIME
Traditional design of English Phonetics course has lost its effectiveness due to lack of class time and heterogeneity of language learners. This is especially apparent for distance learning in higher education where students are supposed to acquire knowledge and skills independently without any physical presence of a facilitator. Several group meetings with an instructor are given to such students to clarify misconceptions or misunderstandings in the course material and, fi nally, take examinations. The problem of designing an effective degree course in the above described conditions led to undertaking the following pilot study: fl ipping the course by asking students to independently learn the theoretical basis of English phonetics using a specially developed online course in the learning management system (LMS), Moodle, and offering them intensive pronunciation practice during face-to­face group meetings. The research showed that carefully scaffolded independent online practice helps to intensify face-to-face instruction and reach more learning goals, thus increasing course effectiveness. Such a design is especially effective for highly motivated learners while weak students benefi t too, as they receive basic knowledge and acquire major skills. By asking students to work independently and showing how to do it, instructors can foster an autonomous language learner.
The task under investigation is the improvement of English Phonetics course in a country where English is a foreign language and contact with native speakers is quite rare. The problem is also affected by specifi c conditions for studying and types of learners. According to the recent changes in higher linguistic education, the number of hours
114
Приложение
devoted to different academic subjects has been cut, but the learning goals have remained ambitious. The students under investigation have to receive their higher linguistic education distantly because of a variety of reasons: full-time education is not affordable for them or they already have their major and are getting their minor, mostly for English, or they live far from an educational establishment and can only afford to travel periodically throughout the year. Nevertheless, English Phonetics course is very important for them and should be designed effectively as to meet the needs of these learners in the described studying environment.
Traditionally, English Phonetics course had two learning goals: students needed to understand the general phonetic processes (e.g. assimilation, accommodation, elision, etc.) and describe them in English. The latter was the only way to apply their knowledge because of the limited class time. The course design had the following structure: an instructor explained theoretical material during class under extreme time constraints (max. 6 lectures); after the lectures students were left for several months to do exercises or tests for the next term on their own. For instance, the students were asked to answer questions in writing such as: How is a vowel different from a consonant? How does a noise consonant differ from a sonorant? How can stress affect the character of the end in vowels? How can a voiceless consonant affect the sonorant? They were also given a task to describe one English monophthong, one diphthong, and one diphthongoid following an example and to do a phonetic analysis of an English text. The teaching experience showed that students gathered for the next term with answers simply copied from a textbook without really having learned the material. They simply repeated information rather than applied it. While the course required knowing defi nitions, application is the real test of knowledge. To make the situation even worse, students were not given any self-check during inter-term period to understand if they were on the right track. The tests / exercises done on paper were submitted for feedback just upon their arrival for the next term. So they did not have enough time to correctly apply the concepts and get fully ready for their examination.
In spite of the fact that the period between two terms lasts from three to six months, it often happened that without any guidance from the instructor students could not cope with an academic load

alone and failed their examinations / tests. Besides, this way of teaching left no time for guided pronunciation practice and students fi nished the course only with some theoretical knowledge of the subject. The interview, conducted with the students after a traditional course, detected the learners’ dissatisfaction with the fi nal results as the course was too theory-based and no really useful practical skills in pronunciation were fi nally acquired. This unfortunate learning experience led to the creation of the questionnaire which aimed at understanding students’ real needs and demands. It showed that the real goal of these students was to get a near-native competence in English pronunciation (American or British accent), including articulation of English sounds and the use of correct intonation patterns. They were also interested in understanding the general phonetic processes for the purposes of learning other foreign languages or listening and reading about this topic. The fi ndings led to the course redesign which helped to make time for guided pronunciation practice – the actual application of students’ knowledge – and increase the level of understanding of the theory. To make this redesign possible, the English Phonetics course used a pedagogical fl ip based on computer technologies.
The so-called “fl ipped classroom” inverts traditional teaching methods. This concept is not new. Dr. Eric Mazur of Harvard University has been investigating this type of learning since the early 1990’s, and many other instructors have been using this learning method for even longer. Walvoord and Anderson (1998) promoted the use of this teaching method in their book called “Effective Grading” in 1998, but the terminology “fl ipped classroom” was introduced in
2007. The fl ipped classroom model is considered to have been fi rst developed by Jonathan Bergman and Aaron Sams, who began to use technology to record Power Point presentations (Bergmann & Sams,
2012). The approach proved to give learners the opportunity to read or watch lessons at their own pace depending on their abilities and educational background, thus differentiating to better meet student needs. In addition, one of the drawbacks of traditional homework is that students do not receive any meaningful feedback while doing it. Having a teacher present to address concepts and misconceptions that
116
Приложение
students are able to bring to class following lessons learned on their own, proves a “feedback cycle [that] has greater potential to boost student learning” (Horn, 2013).
Literature review in fl ipped teaching shows that this method is often simplifi ed to content learning (reading of the material, watching videos or listening to audio fi les) which takes place at home, and its discussion, analysis and/or creation based on learned material takes place during class. Brame points out that “fl ipping the classroom means that students gain fi rst exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then use class time to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge, perhaps through problem-solving, discussion, or debates” (Brame,
2013). But its key feature is that it increases the amount of class time spent on developing higher-order thinking skills (Bloom’s taxonomy revised by Krathwohl) as activities involving lower-order thinking processes are done before the class. Remember, Understand, and Apply are considered lower-order thinking skills while higher-order thinking skills include Analyze, Evaluate, and Create (Krathwohl,
2002). Thus, “fl ipped instruction moves the lower-order thinking skills parts of course to independent study, and the analysis and creative use of language (higher-order thinking skills) to a supported, teacher-guided environment” (Rosen L.B., Maeda M., & Roberts N.,
2017).
In Flipped Learning Network, we can fi nd the following defi nition: “Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter” (Flipped Learning Network, 2014). This idea resonates with Gunyou’s opinion of an effective methodology that mostly contains active learning and interactive engagement (Gunyou, 2015). One critical difference between a traditional and fl ipped class is that time is no longer spent passively taking in “raw content” (Horn,
2013). Instead, students practice problem-solving, discuss issues, or work on different projects. As a result, the classroom becomes

an interactive environment that engages learners actively in their education.
The advocates of the fl ipped method (Bergmann & Sams, 2012; Brame, 2013; Cockrum, 2013; Enfi eld, 2013; Gunyou, 2015; Horn, 2013; November & Mull, 2012; Millard, 2012; Moran & Young, 2014; Rosen, 2016, etc.) point out its other benefi ts. They say that fl ipping allows more individual interaction with every student, signifi cantly reduces negative behaviors, helps to develop better relationships with all learners (Cockrum, 2013), and offers wide opportunities for gaining instructional time and differentiation (Cockrum, 2013; Horn, 2013; Rosen, 2016). All these have great potential to boost student learning and get remarkable academic achievements.
Modern education requires the use of up-to-date tools and technologies. As our students are mostly the representatives of “Generation Z” (people born in the 1990s, also known as Gen Z, the connected generation, digital natives, the net generation), incorporating such trends into education can not only be satisfying and interesting for instructors, but also motivating and engaging for students. Moreover, fl ipped learning is completely open for the integration of any computer tools.
The use of computer technologies in English as a Second Language (ESL) is also not new as back in the 1960’s teachers started to combine e-learning and traditional classes. Since the early 1980’s, scientists have referred to using computers in language teaching as Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). In his research paper, Kalamarz (Kalamarz,
2014) described several stages of development of CALL. One stage was associated with computer stimulating automatic responses learners gave to such tasks as text reconstruction, paragraph ordering, multiple choice questions or drills. Another phase featured the communicative approach “allowing for increased creativity and inventiveness in students’ answers” (Kalamarz, 2014). Then came the tendency to use multi-media and the Internet as a learning environment which helped to develop language skills through interaction with other learners. Nowadays, more user-friendly tools and software are being invented. As Kalamarz concludes, “as a result of development of information and communication technology e-learning has all the qualities of an
118
Приложение
essential constituent of an educational process” (Kalamarz, 2011). All of these stages of growth and technological advances in CALL have made the Flipped Model a viable option.
In the 21st century, quite many practitioners (Bates & Poole, 2003; Collis & Moonen, 2002; Garrison & Anderson, 2003; Neumeier, 2005; Millard, 2012; Pacansky-Brock, 2012; Cockrum, 2013; Moran & Young, 2014, etc.) speak for the use of modern technologies in education. They highlight such positive aspects as automatic responses, interactivity, multi-sensory experience, a good infl uence on motivation, etc. (Cechova & Rees, 2013; Krajka, 2012). Very many researchers in language learning (Brinckwirth, 2012; Guillen, 2015; Kalamarz, 2014; Kern, 1995; Lindaman & Nolan; 2015; So & Lee, 2012; Strobl, 2014) have analyzed the infl uence of appropriate e-learning techniques on the development of language skills and came to the conclusion that “they favor the development of the key competences of communicating in foreign languages” (Kalamarz, 2014), in particular listening, reading, and writing. Burston (2014) claims that mobile devices can support learning and teaching only if integrated right, and this idea can be expanded to any technology used in educational process and “the fl ipped model is open to the integration of any tool that helps instructors provide content to their students and help students learn the content they need to become more profi cient, both in and out of the classroom setting” (Rosen, L.B. et al., 2017). It is also important to remember that for blended learning environments to be successful, it is essential to carefully align the online and face-to-face portions of learning experience (Ginns & Ellis, 2007) and to combine “the best of both worlds” (Graham, 2003).
In this study, we would like to solve the problem of developing an effective English Phonetics course for distant learners in a country where English is a foreign language and to fi nd a sound way of integrating technology and portions of online learning to meet the variety of learning styles and levels of language profi ciency so vividly present among distant learners.
Relevant data was collected from two groups (control and experimental). The total number of participants was 18: 7 learners in the control group & 11 learners in the experimental group. In the

experiment, female students prevailed: 15 females to 3 males. There were six females and one male in the control group, and there were two male and nine female students in the experimental one. Their language level varied from Intermediate Low to Advanced Low based on ACTFL Profi ciency Guidelines. The age range was 18–33 years. All the participants were native speakers of the Russian language pursuing an academic degree as distant students at the Russian linguistic university. As for their former educational background, half of them had earned a higher education degree before, while the other half had fi nished high school. It proves that these both groups of students are heterogeneous and require a more individualized approach.
The results of the pre-course questionnaire showed that the majority of the participants could be labeled as digital natives (Prensky, 2001). Most of them were completely comfortable with the use of computer technologies in the course. The questionnaire aimed at identifying any previous experience in blended learning and technical skills possessed by the students. The results showed that half of the participants had been enrolled in a blended course and used an online course management system, such as Blackboard, Moodle, or Desire2Learn before. It was also evident that the students had basic computer skills necessary in the course: searching the Internet (91.3%), receiving and sending emails (82.6%), attaching fi les to send in an email and opening the attachments received (69.6%), saving fi les (73.9%), formatting, organizing, downloading, uploading, compressing and uncompressing fi les (73.9%), working with fi le sizes (65.2%), and changing image sizes (65.2%). The collected data proved that the participants were fully prepared for a blended course in English Phonetics and needed no additional technical skills. All of them had a computer or a laptop with Windows software and the Internet connection at home. The majority had scanners, printers, and photo cameras necessary in the online part of the course. It was also important for the research fi ndings that no participant had ever taken part in a fl ipped course before.
A new English Phonetics course was constructed on the basis of backward fl ipped design. It means that the theoretical material was carefully scaffolded in order to accomplish the three identifi ed learning
