Abstract
This study aims to know the impact of applying the flipped classroom to improve the speaking skills of Eloy Alfaro high school students of English as a second language who had deficiencies in expressing themselves in another language. In addition, the limited hours of English in public schools with a large number of students make it difficult for them to communicate among themselves in English, and they need proper feedback from teachers. In order to solve this problem, a methodological proposal was made, which consisted of a system of actions using technology. This research process used a quantitative method, covering a population of 32 high school students of second baccalaureate with A2 English level, which was taken purposively by using quasiexperimental research with pre-test and post-test, rubric, and survey. Shifting traditional classroom lectures to pre-class video lessons, the use of e-learning apps, and more in-class time allocated for interactive speaking activities and collaborative discussions have shown a result that students enhanced their speaking skills because the pre-test displayed 2,3, and the post-test showed 3,5, which means 21% of advance in two months. Students could share their positive experiences with this groundbreaking model by suggesting other subjects.
