This research study was set to investigate the ways in which Flipped Classroom can enhance speaking skills in adult learners. Prior to the intervention, the students faced challenges in actively engaging in classroom activities, resulting in minimal interaction in English among the teacher, students and their peers. A group of 8 adult learners, ranging from ages 18 to 30, with diverse levels of English proficiency, participated in the study. Using a flipped classroom approach, the participants engaged in watching videos and reading tasks, followed by virtual classroom sessions where group discussions, debates and roleplays related to the previous materials were facilitated. As part of the action research study, a pre-test and post-test were administered to assess the learning gains of students, coupled with an interview to uncover their perception of Flipped Classroom. Based on the results, the flipped classroom approach has shown to enhance participants’ speaking skills. Notably, considerable improvement was observed in the quality of the students’ answers, especially in the content, pronunciation accuracy and fluency. Therefore, this study highlights the potential of Flipped Classroom as a pedagogical strategy for teaching speaking skills to adult learners.
