Abstract
This thesis explores the application of the flipped classroom approach in English language teaching and its role in improving students’ language proficiency. The flipped classroom is an innovative teaching method in which students study theoretical materials, watch educational videos, and complete preparatory tasks before lessons. Classroom time is then devoted to interactive activities, group discussions, practical exercises, and communicative tasks. This approach encourages learner autonomy, increases student engagement, and creates more opportunities for practising English in real-life situations. Furthermore, the thesis examines how flipped learning can contribute to the development of speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Particular attention is given to the advantages of digital learning resources, individualized learning, and active student participation
