A study on the roles of teachers and learners in the “blended learning” training model

Abstract

This research focuses on the roles of both teachers and learners in the blended-learning model applied to the "Presentation Skills" class at the University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. This model integrates traditional teaching methods with information technology in the teaching and learning process. The study emphasizes the role of the teacher in creating a positive learning environment and encouraging interaction in the classroom. Additionally, it highlights the importance of learners being self-directed, flexible, and proficient in using information technology for effective learning. Thus, the blended-learning model not only improves presentation skills but also fosters comprehensive learner development. The research underscores the importance of flexible lesson design tailored to the specific needs of learner groups, as well as continuous support and feedback from teachers. The results contribute to clarifying critical factors in implementing blended-learning models in higher education and propose specific measures to enhance its effectiveness.
