Spanish heritage learners (SHL) can enhance pronunciation and fluency through Flip, a dynamic video platform. The presentation explores the progress of ten students creating reflective video clips. Flip provides an interactive space for practice and feedback, assessed through external examinations and self-evaluations. Preliminary results reveal improved skills when speakers record and share videos. The study contributes to existing research on Flip's effectiveness in oral performance (Kleftodimos, 2023; Mango, 2021, among others). Attendees will learn to implement Flip in other language classrooms, or other courses that enhance oral proficiency and assessing activities. Flip's peer-to-peer feature fosters engaging conversations, building a vibrant community and cultural ties. The recording tool empowers learners, propelling fluency while preserving linguistic heritage. The diverse range of Flip activities, including the Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA), comprises a comprehensive cluster assessment featuring three distinct tasks, each aligned with one of the three communication modes: Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational. The presentation aims to spark discussions on similar tools for a collaborative learning environment.
