ABSTRACT
The study aimed to deliver a valuable conceptual academic prospect based on a materialized use of Blended Learning (BL) in Spanish foreign language classroom with emphasis on lecturing treatments and learning approaches. This research was conducted by using mixed quantitative and qualitative research techniques. The study focused on collecting, analyzing, and mixing both quantitative and qualitative data because both research methods work together offer the best way to address the subject presented. This criterion involved the collection and analyze of associated researchers’ input, blended learning lecturing treatments and learning approaches used to conduct Spanish foreign language classroom, and the outputs from a survey given to 100 Spanish foreign language learners. The outcome revealed that using blended learning assignments based on the BL lecturing and learning insights outlined in this study help in determining good foreign language academic results, which could be used as a recycled-model for enhancing lecturing skills and developing competence materials based on the use of the Blended Learning method.
