Abstract In recent years, the flipped classroom has garnered all the attention of the educational circles around the world. This new pedagogical approach reverses or “flips” the traditional teaching model in which students learn initial course concepts and knowledge outside of the classroom, while class time is reserved for more active problem-based learning and practical activities. However, the “teacher-centered” lectures are still the main teaching method in junior high schools, which is not conducive to autonomous learning ability and dampens students’ learning interest. Aiming to arouse students’ learning passion for English, the author adopts the flipped classroom teaching method in the course of her internship in Beijing Road Middle School. The author uses the first monthly test scores as the reference to compare the result of the experiment. After two months of practice, the author gives a test and a questionnaire to the students. Statistics shows that most of the students are fond of this new teaching mode and get higher score in the test. And at the end of the article, the author points out some limitations of the research and puts forward some suggestions of the flip teaching in junior high school English teaching.71163

摘要近年来，翻转课堂得到了全球教育界的广泛关注。这种新的教学方法颠倒或者说翻转了传统的教学模式，在这种新的教学模式下，学生课外学习新的课程概念和知识，而课堂则留给更积极的以问题为导向的学习和实践活动。然而，以教师为中心的讲课依然是初中主要的教学方式，这种教学方法不利于自主学习能力并降低了学生的学习兴趣。为了唤起学生对英语的学习热情，笔者在北京路中学实习期间，采用了翻转课堂教学。笔者以第一次月考为参照，对比实验结果。实践两个月后，笔者给学生进行了测试和问卷调查。数据显示，大部分学生都喜欢这种新的教学模式并在测试中取得了更好的成绩。最后笔者指出了本论文的研究局限性，并且针对翻转课堂在初中英语教学中的应用，提出了几点建议。
