Foreign language classrooms have historically used classroom lecture-based approaches for instruction. However, the flipped pedagogical approach was recently introduced into foreign language and other classrooms. Studies of the flipped classroom approach in spoken L2 classrooms have generally found a positive impact on student learning outcomes, perceptions and satisfaction compared with the traditional classroom approach. Cripps et al. (2021) found no difference in student learning outcomes and satisfaction between L2 American Sign Language traditional and flipped classrooms each taught by two different instructors. This study is a partial replication of Cripps et al. (2021) with both classes taught by the same instructor, using the traditional classroom data from the original study and comparing it to new data from the same instructor teaching in the flipped approach. Results show no major differences, suggesting that the flipped classroom approach is as viable as the traditional classroom approach regardless of the instructor.
