Abstract EN

It is axiomatic that many attempts were made to use technology in teaching English for the sake of improving students' learning outcomes and increasing variability in teaching the English Language, yet few Arab researchers have dug deep into modes of teaching as such.

This paper aims at investigating An-Najah National University students' perceptions towards blended learning environment using OCC (Online Course Container) in view of their achievement level and frequency of online participation.

The study included (92) students enrolled in a general English course (10103) offered at the Language Center at the university.

A questionnaire was designed to measure the students' attitudes towards blended learning using the (OCC) in terms of: the process, ease of use, and content.

The study concludes that in general the students’ attitudes towards BL were positive in terms of the three domains revealing that there was a direct relation between the achievement level and the students' positive views.

Moreover, there were significant differences in the students’ positive attitudes due to the frequency of online participation.

The more frequently the students participated on the forum, the more positively their views were shaped.
