Abstract: Nowadays, the flipped classroom technology has become popular in the educational institutions of developed countries. However, in Russia this approach has not been widely practiced yet due to objective reasons. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effectiveness of using the flipped classroom technology in the system of higher education and specifically in foreign language courses. This article presents the results of the experiment on the implementation of some elements of flipped classroom technology in Kazan Federal University (Russia). The experiment was held with the students of the Law Faculty (60 people) through the course "Foreign language (French) in the sphere of jurisprudence". The idea of making the experiment came after getting very low students’ exam results at the end of the course. In this group traditional methods of SL teaching were used according to state educational standards such as reading professional texts and communication on professional topics. After thorough analysis of the results, the following reasons for unsatisfactory assessments were identified: systematic absence of the students at classes, systematic failure of completing homework assignments, and abuse of electronic translators. Thus, the need to use different teaching approaches became obvious. Taking into account the situation, the authors decided to use the flipped classroom technology to develop students’ core competencies and to improve their language skills.
