Competency into Practice: Establishing a Blended Learning Environment in EFL Classes

Abstract

A blended learning environment is established to enhance and promote active learning of college students in English as a foreign language (EFL) class. The language course has been re-designed based on a competence-based framework, and it integrates face-to-face teaching, online learning, and practical activities to personalize learning and to promote student participation in-and-after classes to improve their communicative competence. The paper provides a blended learning and teaching model for a language learning course.
