Description

This element is the blended learning condition's delivery system: lesson materials were split between a class teacher and a public Weblog, with writing assignments submitted by email under fixed deadlines. The article states the material "was partially given through a Weblog (http://learningenglishonline.mihanblog.com) and partially in the class" and that "The participants were to hand in their writings by e-mail." Lessons alternated between Weblog and class presentation across the term, each with a two-day submission deadline.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Participants need access to the Weblog and functioning email; the article reports delivery failures requiring individual re-sending of materials by email.

Constraints

  • The article reports that motivating some students to participate in the virtual class was very difficult, that some participants delayed emailing homework, and that data collection took longer than expected.

Target Learners

  • Intermediate EFL learners aged 15-19 at English institutes

Learning Goals

  • Correct use of resumptive pronouns in L2 writing
  • Paragraph organization including topic, supporting, and concluding sentences
