Turkish EFL Teachers’ Views on Blended Learning: A Qualitative Analysis

Abstract

The present study was undertaken in order to investigate the blended learning application utilized in a state university in Turkish context. The study investigates blended learning in terms of the extent of blended aspect, content, activities, effectiveness, and problems as well as suggestions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to collect data. Some interviews were conducted physically, while some were conducted through skype or other online teleconferencing methods. Purposeful sampling method was resorted to in the data collection process. Instructors who have been engaged in the blended teaching practice were selected on the premise that they can produce more valuable data. A total of 14 instructors were selected as the participant group in the study. Results indicate that there are considerable variations in the implementation and practitioners’ ideas on effectiveness.
