Abstract

"English writing as an essential language skill has been emphasized on in EFL classes and the out-of-class activities in flipped learning enable students to practice English writing efficiently. However, recently some students have been found to be distracted out of class, since the lack of teachers’ guidance and supervision. On the other hand, gamification for learning is generally popular since its engaging effect on students. Based on this, this study aims to design a gamified out-of-class flipped learning class model. In addition, non-gamified activities out of class will also be designed in order to help future research on the effects of gamification for flipped learning in the EFL contexts. This class design based study will contribute to out-of-class phase design in flipped learning and scaffold future teachers, curriculum designers and researchers to using gamification in their flipped classes"
