The Impact of Multimedia and Flipped Classroom Models in Enhancing English Literature Learning

Abstract

Teaching English literature to EFL students in Uzbekistan presents challenges due to unfamiliar language, cultural references, and historical contexts. Traditional lecture-based methods often lead to passive learning and limited comprehension. This article explores how combining the flipped classroom model with multimedia tools enhances student engagement and understanding in literature courses. In a study conducted at several Uzbek universities, students using the flipped classroom and multimedia approach showed higher engagement, better comprehension, and increased motivation compared to those in traditional classrooms. While effective, the approach requires careful management of pre-class workload and addressing technological limitations. Further research is recommended to assess broader applications of these methods.
