HARMONIZING DIGITAL AND IN-PERSON MODALITIES IN THE PEDAGOGY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH A BLENDED LEARNING FRAMEWORK.

Abstract

This article explores the use of blended learning in English language instruction, focusing on the combination of online and in-person teaching methods. It emphasizes the educational benefits, including increased student engagement, personalized learning experiences, opportunities for collaboration, and instant feedback. Additionally, the article outlines implementation strategies like cohesive instructional design, organized support, and continuous assessment, while also addressing challenges like technology limitations, teacher readiness, student independence, and ensuring the quality of digital materials. By merging theoretical insights with practical applications, the study illustrates how blended learning can create a powerful environment that leverages both technological possibilities and the richness of traditional face-to-face teaching, ultimately supporting effective English language learning.
