Abstract

 It has been searched for years which system or method in foreign language teaching may contribute to enhance students‘ language acquisition. Most of these systems or methods have based on performing with an instructor in a classroom. Even though many disciplines have been acted just in classroom for ages, new methods have emerged that consolidate traditional methods by means of the evolvement in technologic areas. One of these models is ―blended learning‖, also known as ―hybrid learning‖, which is the combination of face to face learning and online learning in a formal program. The purpose of this study is to find out the attitudes of students that use blended learning in private secondary schools. The researcher composed a survey questionnaire and the results were analyzed based on quantitative method.
