What is blended learning? It's a mix of the classic or traditional learning with (the innovation of) online learning. It's inserting or embedding online learning in the traditional classroom.
I introduced my beginner English learners to this type of learning, because I always believed in "going the extra mile" with my students. It proved to be a great strategy.
Young Learners (YLs), in my case they were 10-12 year olds in their 1st-2nd year of EFL, took on extremely well to blended learning and just couldn't have enough of it.
Why introduce blended learning to beginner EFLers?
- motivating
- caters to different learning styles
- develops and enhances creativity
- innovative
- adds new life to learning and teaching
- sheds a new light on things
- fights off routine and boredom
- sparks a (re)new(ed) enthusiasm for learning
- generates local and/or global communication and collaboration
