Learning to write in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has always been an issue for most learners since it requires intensive cognitive activity along with language proficiency. This mixed-methods study aimed to examine if interactive Video Embedded Infographics (VEI) could ease this process in a flipped classroom setting compared to traditional infographics. Twenty-four EFL learners equally divided into two groups as traditional infographics group and the video embedded infographics group participating in a 3-week intensive EFL writing training. Quantitative data was obtained through quizzes, a final exam, and a delayed exam, while semi-structured interviews were implemented to obtain qualitative data. Quantitative results showed no significant difference between groups in terms of test performance, indicating satisfactory scores for both groups. Qualitative findings revealed a positive tendency towards video embedded infographics, most learners found them concise, easy to use, and more compact. Participants also showed positive attitudes towards EFL writing courses in a flipped classroom setting, stating that they found it more practical, stress-free, and efficient compared to traditional EFL writing classrooms.
