Abstract
This chapter aims to investigate non-English majors' attitudes toward the Flipgrid application as an English-speaking learning tool. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, involving the participation of 59 EFL students from a university in Ho Chi Minh City. The instrument utilized in this study was a mixed questionnaire including closed-ended followed by open-ended items. The findings revealed that a significant number of participants held positive attitudes toward the Flipgrid application. Specifically, the majority of users found it easy to use, requiring only one training session to become proficient. The learners perceived Flipgrid as a useful tool for enhancing their confidence in speaking English. Flipgrid allowed the students to assess and reflect on their speaking projects, which can improve self-reflection. As a result, most of the students expressed their intention to utilize Flipgrid as a means to enhance their English-speaking skills in their future courses.
