Jeffrey Mehring’s scientific contributions

This chapter explores flipped learning in second/foreign language (L2) contexts, where students study new content before class independently, and engage in higher-order thinking activities referencing the content during class time. This chapter provides a definition for L2 flipped learning and discusses its implementation, emphasizing the role of technology and varying effectiveness based on context. The chapter unpacks the existing evidence for flipped learning’s effectiveness in L2 settings while highlighting biases in existing research. Remedies for such biases are also discussed. Finally, future directions at the researcher- and practitioner-levels are considered.
