Challenges and Benefits of Blended Learning in University EFL Reading Comprehension: A Mixed-Method Study
No full textThis study investigates the challenges and benefits experienced by students in the implementation of blended learning (BL) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading classes. The research focuses on exploring the experiences of first year university students engaged in BL-based reading comprehension. Using a mixed-method approach, data was collected from 36 participants enrolled in a noncredit reading skills course integrated with a BL platform over 16-weeks. Participants completed a 16-item questionnaire, and a subset of ten students engaged in a focus group discussion to delve deeper into the challenges and benefits of BL. Descriptive statistics (e.g., frequency, percentages) were employed for quantitative data analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic identification. The findings revealed significant challenges including technology issues, language barriers, and initial confusion with BL tools. Participants emphasized the critical need for reliable technology infrastructure, support for digital literacy, and language assistance to mitigate these obstacles. Despite these challenges, participants acknowledged BL's advantages, particularly its flexibility and accessibility in enhancing reading comprehension. Recommendations arising from the study advocate for personalized learning paths, collaborative activities, clear communication, and ongoing assessment to optimize BL implementation. Thus, this research underscores BL's potential in improving reading skills, highlighting the imperative of tailored support to effectively address implementation challenges. The study could also become more thorough and broadly applicable to other Ethiopian universities by increasing the sample size and extending the intervention period
The Binary Opposition In “Hills Like White Elephants”. : A short Story By Ernest Hemingway. :The Structural Analysis
No full textThis study examines the short story "Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway through the lens of structuralism, focusing on the concept of binary opposition. As a narrative text, Hemingway's story utilizes a minimalist style to convey complex themes, leaving much of its meaning open to interpretation. This analysis employs Saussure's theory of structuralism to explore the contrasting elements within the story, such as the opposing desires of the characters, Jig and the American man, in relation to their decision about an unplanned pregnancy. Through a close textual analysis, the research identifies key binary oppositions present in the dialogue and symbolism of the story, including certainty versus uncertainty, power versus vulnerability, and pragmatism versus emotional depth. These Binary opposition highlight the underlying tensions in the relationship and the broader themes of freedom and responsibility. By examining these binaries, this study reveals the nuanced ways in which Hemingway constructs meaning and tension, offering insights into the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of communication. The findings underscore the significance of structural analysis in understanding the intricate layers of meaning in literary texts
