چکیده:
Recent developments in technology and education have created an enormous array of opportunities in the field of language learning and teaching. From one side, modern technologies are promptly attracting new users, providing growing dimensions, and allowing more sophisticated uses. Form the other side, the students’ zeal toward utilizing mobile technologies in classroom brought the idea of examining these technologies in the context of Iran. To this end, this study investigated the effect of flipped classroom on Iranian EFL students' writing development at senior high school. A group of 48 K-10 male students were conveniently assigned into two groups. The students of the control group were taught writing using distance method just like a traditional classroom held online, while the students of experimental group were taught writing through online flipped method. The results using independent and paired sample t-test and ANCOVA revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in content, organization, and vocabulary areas.

Effect of Online Flipped Classroom on Students' Writing Development at Senior High School* Abdullah Sarani (Corresponding Author) ** Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Zahedan, Iran.
Improving students’ writing using technology and student-centered approaches (specifically active-learning approaches), online flipped classroom is one of those methods which could help students in this realm.
In this study, our focus is on improving the writing content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics among grade 10 students of senior high school in Birjand, Iran, using online flipped classroom method 2.
Many studies in the literature have been conducted to evaluate the effect of flipped classroom on improving students’ writing at tertiary level and education contexts in English language institutes (Abedi, Keshmirshekan, & Namaziandost, 2019; Ahmed, 2016; Engin, 2014; Leis et al.
traditional online classrooms have differently significant effects on the Iranian EFL learners' writing content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics?
traditional classrooms have differently significant effects on the Iranian EFL learners' writing content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics?
Another important feature of this study was the amount of freedom in practice both inside and outside of the classroom given to them by utilizing online flipped method which has a compelling effect not only on students’ writing content but organization and vocabulary.
Generally, it can be concluded that online flipped method positively influences students’ writing content, organization, and vocabulary; meanwhile, no significance difference was observed for language use and mechanics.
