English grammar.
Study Questions:
1. What is the effect of using blended learning on learning English grammar among
the students of the English Language Department at King Khalid University ?
This question is followed by the following sub-questions:
1. What is the effect of using blended learning on learning English grammar at
the level of knowledge?
2. What is the effect of using blended learning on learning English grammar at
the level of comprehension?
3. What is the effect of using blended learning on learning English grammar at
the level of application?
4. What is the effect of using blended learning on learning English grammar at
all the three levels?
2. What are the students' attitudes toward using blended learning in learning English
grammar?
Study Methodology: The study followed the Quasi-experimental design with two
