About the Research
In order to come up with and measure the impact of innovative methods in teaching, researches must be conducted.
Traditional methods of teaching have dominated the education system for too long, leaving students with different styles and strategies of learning disappointed and frustrated. Despite the fact that innovative methods and approaches have been introduced in the field of language teaching and so much thorough work has been done, writing classes, to a significant extent, follow the same traditional approaches.
It is of no wonder that researchers and teachers are trying to come up with and assess new methods of teaching. It is the purpose of this research to focus on the flipped learning method, and measure its impact and significance. We have taken a step further in order to come up with an innovatve way of teaching writing, and call it: COOPERATIVE FLIPPED WRITING. این روش نوین کواپرتیو فلیپد (کلاس معکوس مشارکتی) برای اولین بار در ایران آزمایش می شود.
