The integration of the blended learning model in the curriculum of English majors at private applied universities is a strategic response to the evolving demands of higher education. This study explores the potential of blended learning to augment learning outcomes and the overall educational experience. By combining traditional classroom instruction with online learning tools, the model seeks to offer a more flexible and resource-rich environment that can foster student engagement and initiative, thereby promoting a well-rounded development of English language skills and cultural competencies. The research delves into the practical implementation of the blended learning model, examining how it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of English majors. It discusses the integration of technology into the curriculum, the importance of faculty training, and the creation of an interactive and personalized learning experience. The study also emphasizes the need for continuous assessment and feedback mechanisms to ensure the model’s effectiveness. Furthermore, the research highlights the importance of cultivating English talents with practical capabilities, innovative abilities, and an international perspective. It underscores the role of blended learning in preparing students for the global job market by providing them with the necessary language proficiency and cultural understanding.
