The present study compares the academic performance of students of Spanish as a second language between a control group following a flipped learning methodology and another group receiving more traditional instruction. It also evaluates the impact of combining the two methodologies during the same semester on the students' linguistic performance. The results of the pre- and post-tests based on grammar activities indicate that, in the between-subjects design, there are no notable differences between the inverted and non-inverted groups. The findings of the within-group analysis show that students who have combined both methodologies perform better in the non-inverted instructional model.
