The technology-enhanced instructional approach has been proven to stimulate active learning and advance the teaching-learning process. The flipped classroom (FC) instructional method, an instructional technology part of blended learning, has gained remarkable popularity in recent years due to its promising and positive impacts on different aspects of students’ learning process (motivation, engagement, academic performance, independent learning). In the current study, an explanatory mixed-method approach was employed to investigate the implementation of the flipped pedagogical approach in a government-funded IELTS preparation course in Indonesia, particularly in the writing section of the course. It examined the impacts of this instructional technology method on learners’ writing performance and explored their learning attitudes and experiences. A number of 25 participants from various professional backgrounds aspiring to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees who were recruited based on their previous TOEFL or IELTS scores participated in this study. The findings of this study showed that the learners had a positive attitude toward the flipped instruction method, and their writing test achievement significantly improved as reflected in the official IELTS test scores. Method flexibility, independent learning, and collaborative and active learning were factors that emerged in the interviews that were considered the important determinants of the participants’ IELTS writing improvements.

Flipped learning within blended learning has attracted interest for its potential benefits. However, implementing a fully blended model with in-person synchronous learning remains challenging. Therefore, this mixed-methods study investigates a modified flipped approach using a virtual synchronous classroom environment, replacing traditional face-to-face interaction with online instruction. Specifically, our study focused on its implementation in the context of a Public Speaking class, aiming to explore students experiences and levels of learning anxiety with the modified flipped instructional method. A number of 43 out of 50 English major students from one of the state Islamic universities in Indonesia, in their fifth semester, completed and submitted the questionnaires. The results of the study indicated that the implementation of a virtual synchronous flipped classroom had a dual effect, positively influencing both the advancement of students speaking abilities and the alleviation of their anxiety in speaking English. The students found the Synchronous Virtual Flipped Classroom (SVFC) engaging and intellectually stimulating, recommending its adoption via platforms like Zoom and WhatsApp. While they recognized the benefits of technology, their views varied contextually, particularly regarding social interaction. Despite the advantages, students expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of social presence and sensory experience compared to traditional classrooms. Technical issues further hampered peer interaction and impacted their learning experience. These findings provide useful information regarding the potential and limitations of virtual synchronous flipped classrooms in enhancing speaking skills and managing anxiety in language learning.
