Abstract

With the growth of the internet and e-learning, blended learning has become popular, offering various combinations of internal classes and online content. This paper reports the results of delivering a second-year literature course to EFL learners using blended learning. This study demonstrates how blended learning approach is implemented in an EFL environment with the support of Blackboard, a popular learning management system. Data were collected and analyzed from the questionnaire delivered at the end of the semester. The study findings reveal that blended learning offers more flexibility and student support, enhances student engagement thus improving student learning outcomes, and most importantly, increases the interaction between teachers and students.
