Teaching English for Academic Purposes via the Flipped Classroom has evolved into an undeniable popular pedagogy, driven by the momentum of many teachers across the world who have embraced the idea. These passionate educators are making a meaningful difference in how students learn, and enhancing learning outcomes in the process. This evolution has also been made possible because of the unprecedented capabilities of modern digital technology, the Internet, the World Wide Web and E-learning Moodle. Upon this framework, an ever-expanding array of powerful software has been made available. Moreover, in the current decade, mobile technologies like tablets and smartphones have fundamentally altered the ease and convenience with which students and teachers can access digital content. This paper investigates the efficiency of the application of the Flipped Classroom pedagogy in an English for Academic Purposes class by analyzing the findings of the presented literature review regarding the Flipped Classroom pedagogy, examining the benefits of this strategy, demonstrating the author's qualitative reflections based on personal pedagogical experience which will suggest ways to implement the FC pedagogy in an EAP module and finally the paper will examine the challenges that may be faced and ways to overcome them.
