What is Blended Learning?

The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns:

(1) At least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace.

 (2) At least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home.

 (3) and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.

Blended learning provides great advantages in teaching learning process. One of its advantages is the flexibility in administering the course. The teacher may improve the quality of teaching learning process by encouraging students to do some learning activity outside the classroom such as finding additional sources and references on the internet and taking online quizzes or test.

Beside the flexibility which is provided by blended learning, blended learning itself has potent disadvantages. Blended learning needs massive internet connection in its administration. If it is applied in school or region which has no adequate internet connection, the blended learning will lose its role to improve the quality of teaching learning process and eventually decrease the effectiveness of language learning.

The recommendation deal with the application of blended learning is teacher or institution should prepare the infrastructure first. In term of blended learning it needs stable and adequate internet connection. In case that the school or institution cannot provide proper internet connection, they should consider reducing the proportion of internet connection in teaching learning process.
