Blended learning strategies for successful language acquisition

Original language description

Blended, hybrid, mixed, or integrative learning are all expressions used to describe the combining of traditional classroom methods and independent study to create a new teaching methodology. The implementation of blended learning strategies allows schools to teach more students more efficiently and furthermore, because students are required to use online technologies in blended/online learning situations, they naturally acquire more technological literacy and greater confidence using technologies in their studies. Digitally delivered materials, either online or blended, also prepare students for lifelong learning and play an important role in their further development. Blended learning strategies also serve as a tool to achieve the required language level according to “alma mater” demands, especially if the number of lessons is not sufficient and learning outputs are high. It is not easy for students to pass the exam corresponding to B1 according to the Common European Framework of reference in four language skills if their entrance level is A1 or A2. The authors describe their experience with blended learning implementation in courses at military university. The first focus was placed upon reading and listening comprehension via online course called English for the Army), but later on writing and speaking skills were also developed. Speaking skills development via Discussion Club shows another initiative and the first outcome shows that this method is effective. Qualitative research, students work analyses and semi-structured interviews prove this statement.
