Revolutionizing ESL Mastery: The Transformative Impact of Blended Learning on Language Proficiency in Selangor

Abstract

Nowadays blended learning, which mixes online instruction with traditional classroom instruction, is quickly becoming a crucial educational tool. This study investigates the effectiveness of blended learning in improving language proficiency among students learning English as a second language (ESL) in Selangor. By examining both language proficiency gains and student experiences, the study seeks to ascertain if blended learning can increase ESL students' language proficiency in Selangor. 110 students from various programs participated in the study, which included a variety of techniques to measure development. Language exams were administered both before and after a year of blended learning, and some students' experiences were explored through interviews. The outcomes demonstrated that following a year of blended learning, pupils' language proficiency increased dramatically. Students felt more involved, supported, and grateful for the blended learning approach's flexibility, according to interviews. On the other hand, technological difficulties underscored the necessity of dependable infrastructure and continuous assistance. This study shows that blended learning can successfully raise the language proficiency of ESL students in Selangor. It also offers educators and policymakers insightful information on how blended learning can raise student support and involvement. Although the results show promise, the study highlights how crucial robust technology support is. Future research should look into the long-term effects of blended learning as well as the role of certain digital tools in different educational contexts.
