Abstract:
A new approach to language learning has arisen due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In order for classes to run smoothly, ICT has provided a new learning environment – blended learning. This paper aims to highlight the importance of blended learning in teaching ESP at tertiary level. The research was conducted on a sample of 44 students with the aim to analyse students’ overall perception of blended learning. The questionnaire specifically designed for this research included opinions and attitudes of students on implementation of blended learning in language classes, namely for the purposes of ESP. Descriptive analytics was used whereas the results were analysed by applying statistical methods. Apart from considering advantages and disadvantages of applying blended learning in language learning, the paper also offers proposals concerning the improvement of teaching methods and forms. The research suggests that blended learning has positive effects on learning outcomes. Moreover, the analysis showed that this form of teaching fully satisfies students’ needs.
