THE IMPACT OF BLENDED LEARNING ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

Blended learning has become a central instructional model in modern higher education, integrating digital tools with traditional classroom teaching. This article explores how blended learning influences the academic achievements of English language students in universities. It examines the pedagogical advantages of combining face-to-face interaction with online learning, including improved learner autonomy, personalized instruction, increased exposure to authentic materials, and enhanced communicative competence. The study also highlights current challenges such as digital inequality, teacher preparedness, and learner motivation. Findings indicate that when effectively implemented, blended learning significantly improves language proficiency, engagement, and overall academic success. The article concludes that blended learning is not merely a supplementary method, but a transformative approach that reshapes the future of English language education.
