¡Vamos! The method – Student evaluations taken to heart; “¡pa’l carajo con los Websam!” Flipped course concept – You will learn content on your own (as much as possible): PPTs, screencast, video, etc. – Questions/activities assigned with content will be turned in the next day (brief) – Websam activities based on that night’s content

¡Vamos! Flipped cont. – During the first minutes of class = question/answer period for content & Websam work (with partner, groups, one-on-one with instructor…bring laptops, smartphones) – After Websam work = reinforcement and communicative activities.

¡Caramba…cojones! After communicative/reinforcement activities, more question/answer period if necessary If out of time, Language Lab, tutoring, paid tutors… Office hours and Google Hangouts
