This article explores the multifaceted impact of flipped learning on foreign language acquisition, examining its effects on language proficiency, learner engagement, motivation, self-regulated learning, and higher-order thinking skills. Drawing upon empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, the discussion highlights both the benefits and challenges of implementing flipped learning in diverse educational contexts.
