Evaluating the Impact of Blended Learning on Arabic and English Proficiency: Insights From Saudi Fourth-Grade Teachers and Educational Experts

Blended learning, therefore, involves the use of conventional face-to-face teaching and the application of information technologies that support learning in the classroom. This research investigates the effect of implementing blended learning in the Saudi Arabian context on fourth-grade students’ reading and writing in Arabic and English regarding the mediating effects of student engagement and academic attitudes. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design distributed a structured questionnaire among 200 teachers and educational experts. The analysis of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) suggests that blended learning enhances language skills; student engagement and academic attitudes act as mediating variables. There is evidence that well-planned and executed blended learning strategies can promote improvement in language learning and motivation, providing valuable recommendations for practice and policy about the education of bilingual students.
