Flipped Instruction with English Language Learners at a Newcomer High School

Research on flipped instruction with English Language Learners (ELLs) is sparse. Data-driven flipped research conducted with ELLs primarily involves adult learners attending a college or university. This study examined the academic performance of secondary ELLs who received flipped instruction in an algebra course at a newcomer school compared to ELLs enrolled in the same course who received traditional instruction, and investigated ELLs' perceptions of flipped instruction. Findings indicate students enrolled in the flipped course enjoyed the course structure more than a traditional classroom and performed slightly higher than ELLs who received traditional instruction. However, there was no statistical significant mean difference in the academic performance from students enrolled in algebra with flipped instruction compared to students enrolled in the same course with no flipped instruction.
