Abstract:

It is undeniable that advancements in computer and networking technologies have made a great impact on the education system. As a result of this, several terms such as e-learning, online learning and blended learning (BL) have appeared. In recent years, the use of web-based technology with face-to-face education has increased greatly, particularly in the field of language teaching. This method, which is called blended instruction, can be defined as combining classical in-class instruction with online learning components. Students’ attitudes and experiences related to BL should be investigated in order to create a more effective learning environment. The current study aims to investigate students’ feedback about the effectiveness of the BL environment in learning English at the School of Foreign Languages at Çukurova University. It also aims to find out the problems, if any, the students came across related to the BL environment and to present their suggestions to make it more beneficial. The data were obtained from 65 participants through a questionnaire whose reliability was measured in a pilot study by applying Cronbach’s Alpha analysis (.778).
