Keywords:
Flipped classroom, ESL instruction, linguistic proficiency, student engagement, pedagogical innovation, Uzbekistan, active learning.Abstract
The flipped classroom paradigm, an innovative pedagogical approach, reconfigures traditional instruction by prioritizing pre-class content acquisition and in-class collaborative engagement. This study rigorously investigates its efficacy in enhancing English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, with a particular emphasis on linguistic proficiency, learner motivation, and contextual applicability in Uzbekistan. Employing a robust mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative assessments of language skills with qualitative insights from student and instructor feedback. The findings reveal substantial improvements in productive language skills, heightened student engagement, and nuanced challenges related to technological access. These outcomes advocate for the strategic adoption of flipped classrooms in ESL pedagogy, provided infrastructural and preparatory barriers are addressed.
