Abstract

Blended learning in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) has become increasingly popular as it combines the benefits of traditional face-to-face instruction with the flexibility and accessibility of online learning. This article explores the advantages and challenges of using hybrid teaching methods in TESOL classrooms. It discusses how blended learning can improve student engagement, offer personalized learning experiences, and enhance language acquisition. At the same time, it addresses potential challenges such as technological barriers, the need for teacher training, and maintaining student motivation in an online environment. This article offers insights into how blended learning can be effectively implemented to support language learners.
