Abstract
In this research study, the learning outcomes of a blended learning course in an ESL classroom is reported. Although previous research studies have adequately addressed the effect of blended instruction on learning outcomes, there is a dearth of research on the effectiveness of flipped and online model. A review of current literature on online and flipped models revealed that both these models positively impact the learning outcomes. Since this study aims to measure the impact of these two models, an experimental research design was chosen. Two homogeneous groups with a sample size of 22 from each were randomly selected for the study. The instructional method for Group A was the flipped model, and the instructional method for Group B was the online lab model. The t-test results indicated that the the flipped group outperformed the online group.
