Abstract:

Blended language courses, which combine face-to-face and online instruction,
are becoming increasingly popular due to the need for more flexible yet
effective learning opportunities. This book recognizes the associated
opportunities and challenges for teachers, and provides the rationale,
strategies and tools to design blended learning courses or to guide the
transition from fully face-to-face or fully online courses to blended
instruction. The authors propose a framework based on four phases, Design,
Build, Teach and Evaluate, which facilitates a systematic approach to course
development. The volume simplifies the connection between theory and practice,
by including examples that readers can relate to and immediately implement as
they build or teach a course. Including case studies of successful
implementations, and effective instructional strategies and techniques, this
book is accessible even for teachers without previous experience in course
design, whilst also acting as a reference for more experienced language
educators.

Part I. Theoretical Background: 1. Blended language learning definition and
research; Part II. Route, Process, and Structure: 2. The roadmap to blended
language learning adoption: routes, rationales, and the decision-making
process; 3. The foundation of blended language learning: the blend, the
blending process, and the blended path; 4. Course design and redesign in
practice: examples from colleges and universities across the world; Part III.
The BLL Development Framework: 5. The design phase: planning and organizing
blended language courses; 6. The build phase: building activities and tasks
for blended language courses; 7. The teach phase: teaching blended language
courses; 8. The revise phase: assessing and evaluating blended language
courses.
