GARCIA-SANCHEZ, Soraya  and  SANTOS-ESPINO, Jose Miguel. Empowering Pre-Service Teachers to Produce Ubiquitous Flipped Classes. profile [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.1, pp.169-185. ISSN 1657-0790.  https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v19n1.53857.

This work focuses on technological and educational outcomes that resulted from the production of foreign language educational videos by 90 pre-service instructors enrolled in an official Master's Degree in Secondary Education programme. This teaching practice, conducted during two consecutive years, was set in a ubiquitous learning environment with the intention of effectively linking digital technology with pedagogy by means of producing flipped classroom units. The findings reveal that these pre-service teachers successfully combined instructional dynamics with digital skills to produce flipped classes adapted to the young generation's needs. The classroom becomes, therefore, a more participatory learner-centred scenario with a variety of interactive and collaborative activities performed by foreign language students.

Keywords : Flipped class; language learning; pedagogy; teacher education; u-learning.
