For achieving the objectives of the research it is necessary to focus on the example of the flipped classroom
technology implementation at National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University. Second-year-students of the
Institute of Power Engineering at TPU were engaged in this technology studying the English language course.
Students attended face-to-face classes, 50 percent of which were replaced by activities on the Learning Management
System Moodle. Moodle is widely developed e-learning environment, providing a lot of benefits for teachers and
students such as a variety of tools for studying and communication, flexibility of use, technical support, low cost and
others. Students’ work was organized in the classroom and e-learning environment. Before face-to-face classes,
students watched short video lectures concerning the topic of the lesson, studied additional on-line resources, posed
questions for discussions in forums. Time in class was devoted to clarifying the grammatical and lexical phenomena
that caused difficulties, making presentations and reports and discussing the most important issues. After face-toface
classes, students assessed the work of their peers, checked their knowledge of the material studied by doing
tests and shared their opinions on the lesson. All these activities involved work on the Moodle platform.
