This research explores the effectiveness of blended teaching in developing English language proficiency among learners of different academic levels. Blended teaching, which integrates traditional face-to-face instruction with online and digital learning tools, has become an innovative approach in modern pedagogy. The study emphasizes how blended teaching enhances students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills by providing flexibility, interactive resources, and learner-centered activities. Moreover, the research highlights the role of digital technologies, such as multimedia content, online platforms, and virtual classrooms, in promoting motivation, autonomy, and active participation in the learning process. The findings demonstrate that blended teaching is more effective than traditional methods alone, as it fosters personalized learning, encourages collaboration, and bridges the gap between formal classroom education and independent practice. This study contributes to the field of language education by presenting a comparative analysis of blended and conventional teaching approaches, offering practical implications for teachers, curriculum designers, and policymakers in improving English language teaching and learning outcomes.
