- Description
- Blended learning as part of internet-based teaching has increasingly been used due to the covid-19 pandemic. Numerous studies have demonstrated how blended learning should be implemented in diverse contexts, including in the teaching of English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL). However, in the Indonesian higher education context, blended learning is considered a new approach. As this concept has been defined variously, many university teachers in Indonesia find it challenging to understand the concept and implement this approach. Addressing such an issue, this paper aims to provide an understanding of blended learning and how this pedagogical approach fits EFL teaching in the Indonesian higher education context. Qualitative secondary research and document review were conducted to explore the various definitions of blended learning and obtain an understanding of the approach. Studies on blended learning models or pedagogical strategies conducted in America, Europe, and Asia and the implications of those models in English language teaching are discussed. Furthermore, how culturally appropriate blended pedagogical practices/recommendations are for EFL teaching in Indonesia was also scrutinised to address the current research gap.
