Abstract

Flipping is a creative way for teachers to maximize class time for students’ practices. Motivated by relatively productive results of flipped instructional method in teaching content subjects, the current study employed a quasi-experimental design including pre- and post- speaking tests, a questionnaire and a semi structured interview to examine the effects of a flipped classroom model on EFL students’ speaking performance. Students’ attitudes towards the model were further explored. The results showed that the students improved their speaking skills as a result of the flipped model, and they had a positive perception about the model. The study provides useful implications of integrating flipped instruction in foreign language teaching.
