As the use of flipped learning spreads throughout educational disciplines, TESOL educators need to consider its potential for our field. This article, based on a computer‐aided language learning ( CALL ) interest session at TESOL 2015, first looks at how best to describe and define flipped learning and examines the factors needed to make it effective in promoting language acquisition in a classroom setting. Next, the authors discuss the role of assessment and how flipped learning provides opportunities for increased informal assessment measures. Then, a flipped learning project is presented as an example of how flipped learning can take shape using project‐based learning in an intensive English program ( IEP ) course. The article concludes with a consideration of both the benefits and the challenges pertaining to this approach for TESOL .
