Iranian EFL Learners’ Attitudes Towards Flipped Learning

The present study investigated the ۵۵ Iranian pre-intermediate learners’ attitudes towards flipped learning. In this vein, participants were randomly divided into three main groups. Two experimental groups and a control group. The first experimental group received flipped instruction, in which they received YouTube videos, PowerPoint slides, and an online quiz ۳ or ۴ days before the class, practiced them individually at home, and in the classroom students were required to practice them individually and in pair. The participants of the second experimental group received instruction on vocabulary skills through videos and PowerPoint presentations in the class with no in-class interaction. In addition, at the end of each lesson, the participants answered the quizzes. And participants of the control group learned the target vocabulary items traditionally. Actually, the teacher taught those vocabularies explicitly by writing them on the board and presenting definitions and examples. Also, like the experimental groups, they answered the quizzes at the end of teaching. According to the results of a reflective journal, questionnaire, and interview which was administered in the first and last sessions of treatment, participants had positive attitudes and perspectives toward flipped classrooms
