The background of the study is that most teachers of TEFL from kindergartens to college level are enthusiastic and completely eager to the idea of changing their classes into an excited learning environment. It can provide students with more structure and independence to construct knowledge in a constructive learning setting with the teacher as a facilitator and supervisor. However, many of them are uncertain about the suitable strategy.

Bothina, through the study, aims at investigating the effect of using Flipped Learning Model in teaching English language among female English majors in Majmaah University on their achievement in two different English courses and identifying their feelings and satisfaction about flipping their classes. The study used a pre-post test design and included two experimental groups (n=62). A comparison of students’ scores in pre and post experimentation were carried to identify the effect of the model and size of improvement in students’ achievement. An analysis of students’ responses to an online questionnaire was conducted to reveal their feelings towards the flipped model. Results affirmed the hypotheses of the study and there was a significant higher improvement in students’ scores in post-tests. Students also favored the flipped learning model and had positive feelings towards it.
