چکیده

The current study investigated the efficacy of the flipped learning model on the development of Iranian foreign language learners oral reproduction of short stories. To this end, 50 undergraduate English Language and Literature students at an Iranian state university participated in this study. After receiving the short stories along with additional explanations regarding the plot and elements of short stories at home through a telegram group, each student had to be prepared to give an oral presentation and participate in group discussions as class activities. For data analysis, the learners four oral presentations were evaluated by two raters using an objective rating scale and one-way repeated measure ANOVA. Furthermore, an attitude questionnaire designed by the researchers was distributed to the participants at the end of the semester. The results from the analysis of students scores showed that the flipped learning model could develop students engagement and achievement in the classroom significantly, and a consistent improvement was observed in the learners performances across four different oral presentations. Likewise, utilizing this approach contributed to the learners positive attitudes, and they came to realize that developing their oral proficiency was a complicated process; eventually, by increasing their knowledge and experience about the target language, they would be able to overcome many of their problems. Correspondingly, the findings suggest that this approach may be beneficial for language instructors, university lecturers, and stakeholders at any level to shift the teaching process from time-consuming instruction to a valuable learner-centered approach.
