The main objective of this study is to identify the perceptions of undergraduates towards the use of Flipgrid in learning English speaking skills. 40 undergraduate students who enrolled in ELC590 English for Oral Presentations course are selected as participants in this study. The students completed a 14-item, 5-point-Likert-type online questionnaire designed to assess students’ perceptions on the use of Flipgrid in learning English, particularly speaking skills. Results revealed that the majority of the students found Flipgrid as an effective learning tool as they have positive perceptions towards the use of Flipgrid by the end of the semester. Flipgrid provided students with an easy-to-use platform that helped them gain confidence in their speaking skills. The students enjoyed using Flipgrid and it had a positive influence on their participation in the classroom. Flipgrid is an effective learning tool that supports the learning process especially in the speaking class as it can help to improve language speaking skills as well as students’ participation.
