Abstract

The Flipped Classroom has gained popularity in various fields, including the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, offering new possibilities for improving students' grammar skills. This study aimed to investigate the implementation of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies within the Flipped Classroom to enhance students' performance in the use of grammar.  The sample comprised 50 high school students in a Saudi Arabian school. Using the quantitative research paradigm, the study employed a pretest and posttest control group design within the domain of quasi-experimental research. The experimental group was given instruction using multiple SRL strategies while the control group was given instruction without SRL strategies in a Flipped Classroom. The results indicated a significant difference in the post-test scores between the experimental (which utilized SRL strategies) and the control group (which was taught without SRL strategies). The findings suggest that SRL strategies in Flipped Classroom positively impacted students' grammar skills. Additionally, the study categorized students into different proficiency levels and found significant differences in grammar skills based on proficiency levels. The study also aligned with the social cognitive model of SRL, which emphasizes the importance of performance control, and self-reflection phases in the learning process. The study recommends the integration of SRL strategies in Flipped Classrooms to enhance students' grammar skills and calls for further research to explore the impact of SRL strategies on other language skills in EFL contexts. Overall, the study contributes to the understanding of how SRL strategies can be used to improve language learning outcomes within the Flipped Classroom Approach.
