This study investigated the advantages of using an online flipped Google Classroom to learn English grammar. The design of teaching and learning activities was guided by the 5E framework proposed by Bybee et al. (2006). Fifty-six pre-service teachers from an institute of teacher education participated in the study. The study utilised a mixed-methods design, which included a survey and reflective writing. The quantitative analysis demonstrated students' satisfaction with the Online Flipped Google Classroom and deemed it an appropriate platform for acquiring knowledge of English grammar. The qualitative analysis provided additional context for the quantitative findings by exposing positive and negative experiences. A pedagogical approach proposed by the study could equip educators and students with the necessary skills to navigate unforeseen circumstances, such as pandemics or other crises, wherein conventional classroom lectures may prove impracticable.
