Abstract :This article presents a study that examines the implementation of the flipped learning approach in enhancing grammar instruction for low pre-intermediate level students studying at the International Informational Technology University of Kazakhstan. The research involved 28 students, with 15 students in the experimental group and 13 in the control group, along with two teachers from the Department of Languages. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the impact of the flipped classroom strategy on students\' performance, perceptions, and attitudes towards independently learning English grammar. To achieve this, five videos focusing on English grammar were created and shared with the students prior to the in-class sessions. During the in-class activities, an active learning approach to language teaching was employed. The study utilized pre-tests, post-tests, and semi-structured interviews to gather data and evaluate the outcomes of the flipped learning approach. The findings of the study revealed that the flipped classroom had a positive influence on students\' comprehension and application of English grammar. Additionally, the students expressed favorable perceptions towards the flipped approach. The study contributes pedagogical insights into the implementation of the flipped classroom and offers recommendations for further research in this area. The results highlight the potential benefits of the flipped learning approach in enhancing grammar instruction and improving students\' engagement and understanding in language learning contexts. These findings provide valuable implications for future language education practices.
