A Gateway to Effectiveness in Translation Class : Flip Classes

Currently, as digital natives are enrolling in universities, the teaching and learning environment is naturally flowing toward this new methodology. Such a methodology requires us to take deep considerations, and its possibility for success lies in cooperation between students and teachers. Different from the traditional translation class, this methodology can flip previous teacher-led classes. To conduct this flipped translation class successfully, three major stages should be created: Provide prior knowledge to students before the class, usually consisting of audiovisual teaching and learning materials uploaded onto the e-class/website; prepare a variety of class activities or peer group reviewing sessions; and assign students with after-class activities, possibly conducted among peer groups.
