Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
The present study explores the impact of blended learning on English language motivation, learner autonomy, and digital literacy via students’ evaluation. This study employed mixed-methods design. Accordingly, quantitative data was obtained via a 5-point scale questionnaire surveying 132 students from a rural high school in An Giang province. This high school has implemented blended learning over the past three school years. Of these 132 students, 20 students were randomly selected to take part in semi-structure interviews for qualitative data. The obtained results indicate that blended learning promoted students’ English language motivation, increased learner autonomy, and enhanced the development of digital literacy skills. However, students also reported encountering certain significant challenges associated with blended learning, particularly related to infrastructure and digital learning capacity. Thereby, the results underscore the positive impact of blended learning on English education in rural high schools, provided that adequate digital support and investment in infrastructure. Also, teacher guidance should be constant and sufficient, especially for students who are struggling or lack digital literacy.
