A Qualitative Study on Non-English Majored Learners' Adaptability to Blended Learning in College English
The success of blended learning depends on many factors. Among these, adaptability, though acknowledged as an important issue in blended learning, warrants further study, together with its influencing factors. This study aimed to explore non-English majored learners’ adaptability to blended learning in College English from the perspective of English teachers. Semi-structured interviews with 16 English instructors from 5 universities were conducted, and the interview transcripts were qualitatively analyzed. The results showed that the non-English majored learners were not perceived to have fully adapted themselves to the new mode of College English and their adaptability was highly affected by agentive factors and contextual factors. The findings emphasize the key role of learners’ adaptability in blended learning environments. Additionally, this study further provides a vital insight for administrators and instructors to reconsider the role of learners’ responses to the blended learning mode and apply this understanding to improve achievement in English courses.
期刊介绍:
The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
