Teachers' and Students' Attitude Towards Flipped Teaching in EFL Classroom in Higher Education

Flipped teaching has become a continuous trend since COVID-19 pandemic when online learning was popular more than ever. Following this model of teaching, teachers are required to record videos on the subjects that they are teaching before sharing them with students. This study aims at exploring both EFL teachers' and students' attitude towards the employment of flipped teaching at higher education level. The participants were 10 teachers and 10 students majoring in English Language Teaching and English Language at a university in Viet Nam. To collect data, semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results show that while teachers' preparation and students' engagement, interaction, critical thinking, and relevant learning style are amongst the positive attitudes, less motivation, more pressure, distraction, and lack of responsibility are considered as the negative feelings on flipped teaching. Suggestions for further studies are also presented. Index Terms--flipped teaching, flipped learning, EFL classroom, higher education, learning attitude
