Abstract

The mastery of English Grammar for students of English Education Department (henceforth EED) has a multi-purpose target, namely, to build their confidence in communication (both spoken and written), to prepare them to be English teachers, who need English grammar for teaching, and to meet their graduation requirement on the TOEFL score, one section of which demands high level of grammar mastery. Thus, the series of English Grammar courses are expected to equip them with those competencies. However, based on some research findings and observations, students’ grammar mastery is still far from the aforementioned purposes. This research aims at redesigning the teaching of English Grammar using Blended Learning by combining face-to-face and online learning. This is a part of a longitudinal study employing development framework of Blended Learning proposed by GIHE (2010). The data were collected using triangulation techniques (document, questionnaire, and interview) involving EED lecturers, 2nd-semester students and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the design of Blended Learning integrates Consciousness-Raising (C-R) Model for face-to-face mood and Google Classroom platform for online mood. Both online and F2F materials were made parallel with slightly different contents. Each unit systematically consists of Learning Objectives ^ Pre-Test ^ Materials Presentation ^ Exercises (for each sub-topic) ^ Self Assessments and Reflection on Learning ^ Post Test. Students responded positively to the design of Blended Learning using C-R Model and Google Classroom in terms of ease of access, usefulness, and students’ satisfaction.
