Blended Learning and EFL in Post-Compulsory Education. Effects, perceptions, and a teaching proposal

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and current space limitations, blended learning has become a necessity for many state schools in Andalusia, Spain. They have strived to supply students with the best of both face-to-face and distance learning experiences. This book includes the investigation of learning in different environments by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students of Bachillerato (Post-Compulsory Secondary Education in Spain). Not only an experimental study with 60 participants in a state school in Seville was carried out to examine the effects of blended versus face-to-face learning on their communicative skills, but also the learners’ and instructor’s satisfaction with this type of learning was gauged.
Data could be gathered from the students’ performance in pre-tests and post-tests assessing the four communicative skills, on the one hand, and through the administration of the students’ Blended Learning Experience Questionnaire and the teacher’s observation, on the other hand. The results of this research prove that in general blended learning enhanced students’ communicative skills, facilitated their learning experience, contributed to increasing this cohort’s motivation and engagement towards learning English, and led to effective language teaching.
