Blended learning has become an attractive tendency in education worldwide since the internet develops quickly and attracts a vast number of users.

All 90 participants in the present study have experienced learning English in a blended learning environment in two consequential semesters. The findings revealed that more than half of participants had good perceptions about the environment and perceived various benefits as well as challenges. However, the study implied that to make blended learning more effective in Vietnam context, more teacher involvement should be implemented.
