The materials assembled in this collection are the main result of the ‘Projecte d'Innovació Docent’ (Innovative Teaching Project) ‘L’aula invertida al Grau d’Estudis Anglesos’ (The Flipped Classroom in the English Studies Degree) (2017PID-UB/021), carried out in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and of English Studies at the University of Barcelona. The project has been coordinated by Clara Escoda and Enric Monforte, with Elisabeth Massana, M. Isabel Seguro and Marta Tirado as group members. The project is part of the ‘Grup d’Innovació Docent Consolidat (GIDC)’ (Consolidated Teaching Innovation Group) ‘INDAGAnglès: Innovació Docent i la seva Avaluació al Grau d’Estudis Anglesos’ (INDAGAnglès: Teaching Innovation and its Assessment in the English Studies Degree) (GINDOC-UB/153), coordinated by Martin Renes. The main aim of the collection is to facilitate the application of flipped classroom techniques in the tertiary level classroom. The materials are intended for use in connection with the compulsory, third-year module ‘Teatre contemporani en anglès’ (Contemporary Theatre in English), part of the English Studies degree at the University of Barcelona, but could also be used in any other module on Theatre Studies at university level. The materials are composed of five worksheets, one on the theoretical framework used in the course, and the rest focusing on the contextual, formal and content aspects of the primary texts studied, each corresponding to the sections into which the course is structured: Contemporary Paradigms: Radical Drama/Postdramatic Theatre; Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot; Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming; Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls, and Sarah Kane’s Blasted. The worksheets are intended to be used as preparation for the sessions, in-class work, or as a pedagogical guide for the teacher. Furthermore, and in order to assess the students’ work with the worksheets, one rubric and one self-assessment questionnaire are included.
