Abstract: This study explored the effects of using Flipgrid on the speaking skills of English language learners and students' perceptions of its use in an English language class at Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus. Three students enrolled in the 417-101 (Hi English) course during the first semester of the academic year 2021 participated in the study and were assigned to record and post videos on specific topics using Flipgrid. Data were collected using both closed- and open-ended questionnaires, as well as speaking proficiency assessments conducted by language experts. The results of the study revealed that using Flipgrid significantly improved the speaking fluency of the sample group. Additionally, the participants reported positive perceptions of the platform, including its ease of use and its ability to increase their confidence in speaking English. Students' ratings of Flipgrid were moderately high (M = 4.21), and their perceptions of Flipgrid were relatively high (M = 4.44). Similarly, students' comfort levels prior to video submissions (M = 4.44), self-confidence (M = 4.25), and dedication to improving their speaking skills (M = 4.00) were all moderately high. Overall, the study suggests that Flipgrid is a promising tool for enhancing the speaking skills of English language learners. However, further research is needed to investigate the long-term effects of using Flipgrid and to identify complementary tools that can further support the development of English-speaking skills.
