The book Flipped Learning: A Guide for Higher Education Faculty by Robert Talbert (2017) provides a solid foundation for designing a course by using a flipped learning approach. Talbert, a mathematics professor and assistant department chair at Grand Valley State University, wrote this book to share effective practices in flipped learning design that he uncovered through trial, error, and research, both his and others’. Talbert’s aim is to provide an understanding of what is meant by flipped learning and a roadmap to effectively implement this pedagogical approach. This review includes a description of the text, a comparison with similarly focused instructional resources, and an explanation of why this book is an excellent addition to the recommended readings of language instructors and interpretation/translation instructors. Talbert provides a conceptual framework of learning by describing the foundation for the approach, which is based on a collection of well-researched effective teaching/learning practices, not on a hunch about what will work well in a college course. The foundational principles are self-determination theory, cognitive load theory and the framework of self-regulated learning . Talbert also discusses backward design and integrated course design as frameworks that can be used alongside the flipped learning approach. With the explanations and examples in the text, reader can easily grasp how this approach differs from the traditional “assignments and homework” model. Talbert’s audience is tertiary teaching staff, not elementary and secondary teachers or workshop providers.
