Technology-enabled digital language learning using a flipped innovation model

Abstract

The English Language has always played an important role in the teaching and learning process of academics and research across the globe. Hence, young learners of the twenty-first century are expected to possess a good level of proficiency in English. The aim of this study is to effectively use digital language learning platforms to upskill entry-level tertiary learners by adopting the newly proposed flipped innovation [FINN] model. The objective is to influence learners to get actively involved in the learning process, adopt outcome-based learning strategies and experience the realization of their goals by integrating modern tools in language learning. This learner-centric technology-enabled skills enhancement initiative will provide learners with a flexible, collaborative learning environment that will also lead them to record new learning strategies and find plausible solutions that will guide them to overcome issues related to the skills development process.
