Implementing Blended-Learning in EFL Classroom and the Learners' Response: Investigating the Post-Pandemic Hangover at the Tertiary Level in Bangladesh

The research work titled: “Implementing Blended-Learning in EFL Classroom and the Learners’ Response: Investigating the Post-Pandemic Hangover at the Tertiary level in Bangladesh” tries to initiate innovative approaches to introduce alternative way of teaching and learning English Language in the post-pandemic situation. Due to the disastrous impact of global pandemic COVID-19, the entire education system has come to a grinding halt. Students across the world have lost their valuable time and spirit in their education because of the imposed lockdown amidst the fear of pandemic. In this era of information and communication technology, virtual learning platforms contributed a lot with a view to helping the students to go on with their studies. This research is conducted through mixed method combining both, qualitative and quantitative method. Two procedures are maintained to collect these data: questionnaire and semi-structured interview. For the purpose of research sometimes data are collected from primary sources and sometimes from secondary sources. Primary data are collected directly from the learners. Data are also collected from questionnaire and semi structured interview from the tertiary level student from the EFL learners of five universities in Bangladesh. This research would like to recommend the ways and means of teaching English Language effectively through blended version of learning combining both the traditional classroom along with the multiple uses of online teaching and learning platforms. This process of learning will help the students to go on with their studies without hampering their academic course period and spirit of English Language Learning.
