The Role of Blended Learning in Modern English Language Education

Abstract

Blended learning, the integration of traditional face-to-face teaching with digital technologies, has transformed English language education in recent years. This study explores the effectiveness of blended learning models in enhancing learners’ language proficiency, motivation, and engagement. The research was conducted through a combination of surveys and classroom observations in secondary and tertiary educational institutions. Results show that students exposed to blended learning demonstrate greater autonomy, improved digital literacy, and higher language achievement compared to those in traditional learning environments. The paper concludes with recommendations for implementing blended learning frameworks in language curricula.
