Journal Title: International Journal of Research in English Education - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Technology can be a robust tool for converting learning. It can help assert and improve relationships between instructors and learners, change our methods to learning and collaboration, narrow long-standing availability gaps, and modify learning experiences to meet the needs of all learners. This study aimed at investigating the students’ perceptions and attitudes towards blended learning in the English Department at Hebron University (HU), learning whether the blended learning approach is suitable at HU or not, and investigating some teachers’ attitudes towards blended learning in the English Department. So as to collect data for analysis, a questionnaire was distributed to English-major students and an interview was conducted with professors in the English Department. The major findings of this quantitative and qualitative study have revealed that the blended learning approach has a great acceptance from the students, and the instructors have favorable views towards using it to ensure the success of the teaching/learning process.
