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 (English as a foreign language) students’ speaking performance. Students’ attitudes towards the model were further explored. The results showed that the students improved their speaking skills thanks to 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.
