Abstract

This study aims to discuss learning English as a second language (L2) based on blended tasks in a flipped online classroom. Studies on Active Methodologies and the Flipped Classroom have shown that the learning process is enhanced when teachers expose students to activities in which they play a vital role in the knowledge development process. We seek to verify the possible contributions and limitations of blended tasks for learning English as an L2 in a Flipped Online Classroom. This study adopts a netnographic methodology that deals with theory and practice adapting the ethnographic method to investigate the influence of the internet in technology-mediated learning environments. The tasks were implemented synchronously and asynchronously with students at the Sul-rio-grandense Federal Institute, and we collected data using class notes and a questionnaire. Our observations and analysis of the results indicate a more active engagement of the students. Our findings also show that the Flipped Online Classroom promotes affordances for learning English.
