This study aimed at investigating the effect of a flipping classroom on writing skill in English as a foreign language and students’ attitude towards flipping. The study sample consisted of 60 students at Qassim University and was divided into two groups: 30 students for the experimental group and 30 students for the control group. The instruments of the study are an EFL writing test and a questionnaire to measure students’ attitude towards flipping. Students in both the experimental and the control group were pre-tested using the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) writing test. Then, the questionnaire was pre applied for the experimental group only before the experiment. After that the experimental group was taught using flipping while the control group was taught using the traditional method. Finally, students in both groups were post-tested using the EFL writing test while the questionnaire was post applied for the experimental group only. Results of the study showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the post-test of EFL writing. Second, there was statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the pre and post application of the questionnaire of the experimental group in favor of the post application. This difference can be attributed to using flipping.
