This qualitative research used a semi-structured interview to collect the data and analyzed it by using thematic analysis. There were four themes emerged and fifteen students at the eighth grade of Junior High School in Semarang acted as participants and explained their experiences and challenges toward the use of flipping English writing classroom. The findings show that the students report positive experiences regarding the flipped writing experience and that students describe themselves as more motivated to write and more engaged in class.
