This article explores the role of blended learning in enhancing English language education at universities. Blended learning is a teaching approach that combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning activities. It offers flexibility and accessibility while promoting active and collaborative learning experiences. The article discusses the benefits of blended learning, including its ability to cater to diverse learning styles and preferences, foster collaboration, and accommodate students' busy schedules. However, for successful implementation, it is necessary to address challenges such as technology integration and instructor training.
