Blended learning has transformed ESL education by integrating traditional classroom instruction with digital tools, creating a more flexible and engaging learning environment. This approach allows students to access educational materials at their convenience, receive personalized instruction, and engage with interactive content. However, blended learning also presents challenges such as digital accessibility issues, reduced face-to-face interaction, and the need for strong self-discipline among learners. This paper explores both the advantages and limitations of blended learning in ESL education and suggests ways to enhance its effectiveness.
