Implementation of a blended learning model in content- based EFL curriculum

Abstract

Due to the tremendous advancements in technology, blended learning has become a focus in modern higher education which combines the advantages of both online and face-to-face learning. This paper examines the effectiveness of a blended learning model in a content-based EFL curriculum, with a focus of collaborative and independent learning to ensure the achievement of learning outcomes. The evaluation results of a comparative study revealed the efficiency of the present model in which students performed and perceived better. These findings encourage further development of other blended learning options for EFL learning.
