The present paper is an attempt to take a closer look at the processes and trends that are well under way in the presentday system of higher education. With the rapid changes in the society, which is becoming increasingly information-based, learning strategies are evolving faster than ever and it is getting diffi cult to ignore the challenges facing higher education institutions. One of them is the urge to change the existing educational paradigm towards greater focus on individualization, personalization and self-directed learning. In view of this, there is a demand for special technologies, one of them being the method of reversed learning or fl ipped classroom. The article seeks to analyze the potential of the reverse learning method and provides a description of applying it in EFL teaching with reference to building learners’ grammar competence. The author particularly dwells on the prerequisites of using the method; the requirements for the learning resources – both, ready-made web-based stuff, and teacher-created materials; types of in-class and out-of-class tasks and exercises; maintenance of teacher-student interaction; student work capability and skills assessment; some issues that prevent the model from taking root and succeeding.
