Abstract
This study aimed to examine lesson structure using the flipped classroom in an advanced Japanese grammar class. Traditionally, teachers introduce basic sentence patterns before the exercise. Time is spent on introducing and explaining grammatical sentence patterns. Students spend some class time attempting to understand sentence meanings. We instructed students through video-based homework, which allowed us to spend much more time on the exercise and feedback inside the classroom. We confirmed the effectiveness of the flipped classroom based on an achievement test and interview (古川・手塚2016). However, this technique needs to be improved in classroom activities.
