Abstract

As the world moves into the second decade of the 21st century, the technological advancement has changed the way of doing everything and education is no exception. Recently, the so-called “Flipped Classroom” (henceforth, FC) has emerged as a blended learning model. In this model, lessons and out-class activities are reversed. Accordingly, this endeavor was conducted with an aim to measure the impact of online videos on the students’ writing performances. To this end, a pre-experimental research method was conducted with 35 EFL students enrolling in the English section at Cheikh Larbi, Tebessa University, wherein they took a pre-test before the intervention and a post-test right after. For an in-depth analysis a post-interview was conducted. The findings revealed an increase in the students’ writing achievements, besides some positive attitudes were reported by the students. Therefore, some recommendations have been provided.
