The Impact, Perceptions, and Attitudes Toward Learning English Through a Blended Learning Approach

The development of e-learning tools and Learning Management System (LMS) has offered considerable opportunities to teachers to increase student engagement and academic achievement and course satisfaction. Despite the fact that blended learning (BL) is a commonly used method in teaching the English language all over the world, its implementation in the Indian context of higher education is relatively new. Due to the changing technological and pedagogical needs, the colleges and universities in India are now adopting the use of information and communication technologies to come up with more efficient pedagogical approaches. This paper examines the perceptions and attitudes of students towards blended learning and the effects of blended learning, as well as its influence on the performance of the English language. A quantitative research approach was used, and the data collection was carried out by means of an online survey among 40 students of the MIT ADT University, India. The results show that students have rather positive attitudes to blended learning, and its application can be regarded as a factor that promotes positively the process of English language teaching and learning. This study thus contributes to the existing knowledge on blended learning practices in Indian higher education and promotes further adoption of blended learning models in Indian higher education to improve the effectiveness of instruction and student achievement.
