The purpose of this study is to determine how students' academic achievement in English lessons improved when the layered flipped learning model is used in these lessons and what the students' views about the tasks chosen and performed within the scope of this model are. One of the qualitative research methods, the 'action research' method was used in this research. The research was conducted with the fifth grade of a secondary school in the West Black Sea region of Turkey in the 2017/2018 academic year. In the research process, readiness test, achievement test, focus group interview, task evaluation form, reflective daily form-course video recordings were used as data collection tools.
