The Practice of "Flipped Classroom" in ESP Teaching—Taking the Teaching of "Financial English" as an Example

Abstract

Traditional teaching methods have some limitations in professional English teaching, such as students are relatively passive and lack practical application ability. Therefore, the flipped classroom model was introduced to enhance learning effects and student engagement. In this study, a questionnaire survey method was used, and the subjects were students in a financial English course in a university. The implementation of the flipped classroom model includes the provision of pre-class learning materials and students' interactive discussions, problem solving and practical activities in the classroom. The research results show that the flipped classroom model has achieved good results in the teaching of Financial English. First of all, students can better understand and apply basic knowledge through independent learning before class, which improves the learning effect. Secondly, interactive discussions and practical activities in the classroom stimulate students' interest in learning and increase their participation in learning. In addition, the practical application requirements help students develop practical application abilities and enable them to better adapt to the work requirements of the financial industry.
