Utilizing moodle platform-based blended learning in developing efl grammar learning among university students

Abstract EN

This study investigated the utilization of MOODLE platform-based blended learning in developing EFL grammar learning among EFL first year MIS students at Tanta Higher Institute for Computers, Information and Management Technology.

The participants (N=160) were selected randomly during the second semester of the 2020-2021 academic year.

They were assigned into an experimental and a control groups.

The participants in the experimental group (N =80) were exposed to blended learning using MOODLE platform in which MOODLE platform supplemented face-to-face lectures for 10 weeks, whereas students in the control group (N =80) received class-based instruction ( face-to-face lectures only).

The instrument used in the study, prepared by the researcher, was a pre-post EFL grammar test.

Testing the two groups was administered before and after the experimentation.

T-test for independent and paired samples was applied.

Data obtained were logged and analyzed using SPSS, version 22.

Results revealed that students in the experimental group surpassed and outperformed students in the control group and blended learning using MOODLE platform had a positive impact on students' EFL grammar learning.

Pedagogical implications, recommendations, insights for further research and conclusions were provided in the light of the study results.
