The emergence of the internet and its widespread use are apparent, demanding more tech-savvy teaching methods implementation. The flipped classroom technique is one of the most recent technology-based teaching models. This research aims to identify students’ (TESL Students of Faculty of Education, UKM) satisfaction levels and perceptions about learning through the flipped classroom approach. 100 respondents participated in this mixed method research through questionnaire and eight respondents were selected for semi-structured interview. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS. The results showed that generally, the respondents’ feedback on satisfaction levels in learning when flipped classroom approach is implemented is proven to be positive with an overall mean score of 3.90. The data reveals that students perceive flipped classrooms as a beneficial teaching tool. Besides discussing implications, suggestions for future research in flipped classroom context have also been detailed.
