The Flipped classroom, adaptable for primary?

This is a very interesting little JPG that I came across during my morning Facebook patrol. It was posted on the British Council website and talks of how we could turn the classroom inside out, so that effectively the class is studied home online via web and the homework is done in the classroom.

Now, how could this be implemented into an ESL classroom, and a primary one at that? The only way one could really integrate this would be to give students an opportunity to see vocabulary beforehand. Being such young students, self study is still not applicable, however by proving flashcard cards, games and word games, one could facilitate language acquisition.

Another benefit to this method is that allows students who are sick to not miss out on any valuable vocabulary, or those who go on holiday during term time(which frequently happens in Spain). I also feel it's a great tool for parents who have very little knowledge of English, as they can learn at the same time as their child. This is a issue I have heard many a time during parent-teacher conferences.

If anyone has any other idea on how this could work within the ESL classroom, please let me know!

ICT in ESL teaching

So, I got thinking today... "how important is the use of ICT in ESL teaching? Having never my own classroom computer and still use a chalkboard, such luxuries have never been available to me. Granted, I've got all the ICT resources provided by the editorials, but they have hardly ever been used. I started to wonder if my students would have made more progress had they the opportunity to such media? I use my laptop every single day of my life and make my own resources and flashcards from it so I often ofter could language learning and acquisition be reinforced through this media? I would love to know if anyone has idea regarding what kind of activities are available and productive?
