Blended Learning Activities in ESP Classrooms: Voices of Indonesian Students

Blended learning is accepted as effective to be implemented in English for special purposes (ESP) classes as it delivers authentic learning experiences and allows students to assume responsibility for the learning process. Regarding the notion of blended learning’s effectiveness in the ESP classroom, this study explored university students’ perspectives on blended learning implementation in their ESP classes. The study included 70 participants from three distinct departments in one of the notable Indonesian universities and employed a cross-sectional survey to obtain the quantitative data. In addition, qualitative data were gathered from the online focus group to improve the survey findings. The results showed that the majority of students in ESP classes rated blended-learning activities positively. Besides, some noteworthy implications that could be drawn from the current study involved the utilization of technologies, such as language management systems (LMS) and other learning applications, as well as supportive ESP instructors to facilitate blended-learning classrooms.
