Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, educational technology has become trended by playing E-learning. Teachers and students are forced to transform from traditional classes into E-classrooms. However, full e-learning did not give students a massive impact yet, and lately, they have become less motivated since it provided no real communication (Mese & Sevilen 2021).�Integrating face-to-face learning (direct interaction) and technology-based learning (digital communication) becomes promising (Garrison &Vaughan, 2008; Rianto, 2020). This study explored the perspectives of 3 pre-service teachers and 27 students towards the blended learning (BL) practices in the EFL context. The setting was the English education department, Universitas Borneo Tarakan. The data were collected using online interviews to gain in-depth information. The findings uncovered that the teachers and students gave positive perspectives to apply this model to the new normal. In addition, BL could reshape the teachers' roles by applying multiple technology use in the teaching and learning process. BL �was also able to broaden students' learning experience and provide them with a technology-based world. This study highlighted some implications, including the need for pre-service teachers' professional development that ultimately will help teachers assist students in succeeding in blended learning.
The use of Edmodo-based blended learning in reading comprehension at Surabaya Merchant Marine Polytechnic. This study used both online and offline lectures. Edmodo was used by students and lecturers in online lectures. Students and lecturers discussed the topics they have seen and studied at homes. This learning model is preferred by students. This study used three instruments: participant observation, in-depth interview, and questionnaire. The study's subjects were lecturers and students at Merchant Marine Polytechnic of Surabaya. The results showed an intensity and quality of student to student and student-lecturer interactions. The students preferred the Edmodo-based blended learning model. The workload for students is moderate. Thus, the Blended Learning model operates well in reading comprehension classes. Keyword; Edmodo, Blended Learning, Reading Comprehension
