This paper explains my approach to teaching the class ‘English and Culture 2’ in the spring of 2022 by considering the pedagogy of flipped learning as a paradigm of teaching-learning. In the process of planning and organizing this class, I diverged from the ‘typical’ teaching of flipped learning, which had been specialized to science and engineering, and flexibly applied it to an English literature class. In preparation to teach Life of Pi, the novel and movie, learning materials such as English vocabulary and grammar were given to students in order to motivate them to read and understand the English novel. Secondly, the focus of the class was on reading comprehension, enhancing students’ reading skills, and improving their creativity. For the post-class, students were tested with an online quiz where they were not only asked to read a text, but to read parts of it out loud, and to concentrate on their pronunciation and accent. This series of flipped learning teaching-learning methods is the result of my new educational approach towards teaching language skills and English literature. The flipped learning teaching method can be modified and applied by undergoing meaningful trials and errors in a flipped learning class.
