Investigating University EFL Teachers’ Experience in Using Blended Learning
Abstract
Blended learning has been used in many fields of education, including teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Since Blended Learning is rather new for teachers, some difficulties have been faced by these teachers. The present research investigates university EFL teachers' experience in using Blended Learning in teaching. The qualitative approach is followed in this research where the interview method is used as a data collection procedure. Ten university EFL teachers have been interviewed focusing on the advantages, disadvantages, and problems of Blended Learning, in addition to teachers' suggestions concerning improving Blended Learning. The result of the research indicates that the teachers have coped with using Blended Learning in their teaching and their suggestions show their inclination to continue supporting the use of Blended Learning in future.
