In what aspects? 2.What are the feedbacks from students for flipped classroom?This research is carried out under the guidance of theories and practice of flipped classroom at home and abroad.Two classes of first-year senior high school students were chosen as research subject for four months of experiment with questionnaires and interviews.Flipped classroom mode was adopted in experimental class while traditional method was employed in control class.SPSS20.0 was used to analyze the result data collected from the experiment.The experiment result shows that the flipped classroom mode not only helps relieve the anxiety of students in learning grammar,arouses the interest of the students in learning English,but also improves their autonomous learning ability,enriches their learning strategies and promotes their academic performance and language proficiency.Meanwhile this new teaching mode is popular with the students.In addition,the author of the present thesis also points out some problems in the practice of the flipped classroom to teach grammar and put forward the solutions to them.This study proves that it is successful and applicable to apply the flipped classroom mode in teaching English grammar in Senior High School.
