Abstract

As technology develops, learning no longer relies on face to face in the classroom. Online learning provides easier communication between learners and teachers. It facilitates a very flexible learning in terms of time and place. However, in language learning face to face is still needed to enable learners to imply the exercises they do through online, ask questions to the teacher related to the material, prepare next topic; etc. The term Blended learning is learning through both of these methods, online and face to face. This article is to observe whether Blended learning can be applied effectively and achieve the learning outcome. The method used is a descriptive method of analysis by involving 65 students as an observation object including class completion, average score and time on task. The final result will be compared to the previous result whether the level changed. It is expected that students can improve the language level. Research shows the increase in levels is not significant and tends not to increase. It indicates that students focus only to fulfil the requirement of passing mark only, not to improve themselves in using English. The effectiveness of this method of learning depends on how students see the importance of the materials given, not because of their intention to do it. However, this method is a promising way to be implied with the concern of teachers to motivate studentsindoingonlineexercises.
