Author :
Abstract
This study aims at investigating the effect of flipping classroom strategy (FCS) on the Attitudes of the 6th Preparatory Students towards English Subject. The 70 participants of the study are chosen from Himreen secondary school for boys/ the representation of ministry of Education in Erbil. The aim was to study the effect of flipping classroom strategy. To achieve the aim of the study, the two groups were statistically equalized in some variables. The experiment lasted two weeks during which the experimental group was taught by adopting FCS while the control group was taught by the ordinary method. The instrument of the study was a scale constructed by the researcher to measure students’ attitudes towards English Subject. By using t-test formula, the results have showed that there is a significant difference in the students' attitudes between the experimental group and the control group in favour of the experimental one. This difference can be attributed to the use of FCS.
