Traditional instruction is regarded as a structured education 
program in which a teacher is in the centre of the classroom. The 
education is mostly based on face-to-face teacher-centered 
instruction. In the classroom students are categorized and matched 
according to their ages and abilities. Teaching and learning take 
place with the help of textbooks, lectures and individual written 
assignments. The program possesses a fixed curriculum.
Technological-rich instruction is also regarded as a structured 
education program which partakes the same characteristics as 
traditional instruction has. However, it possesses digital tools such 
as electronic whiteboards, digital textbooks, online lesson plans and 
easy and broad access to Internet. Unlike blended learning, the 
Internet in technological-rich instruction the content and instruction 
are not transferred. Moreover, students are still deficient in control 
of time, place, path, and/or pace.
Thus, students are given an opportunity to rotate between 
online learning and traditional instruction, or it enables students to 
participate in a technology-rich classroom for a particular number of 
subjects and at the same time they may take online courses for their 
remaining subjects.
The rest two education practices such as informal online 
learning and full-time online learning are quite different from 
blended learning. Similar to blended learning, Internet is utilized to 
deliver content and materials in these practices. Moreover, it enables 
students to have some element of control of time, place, path, and/or 
pace. However, they still lack of the scope of blended learning.

More precisely, informal online learning enables students to 
utilize technology for the purpose of learning outside the classroom. 
It allows students to play any educational video games, watch 
lectures on a variety of topics on their own outside the classroom. 
Full-time online learning is rather distinctive from informal online 
learning due to the fact that it is a structured education program 
where content and materials are transferred through Internet like in 
blended learning, but it restricts students to take part in supervised 
brick-and-mortar settings away from home. The only formal 
program which combines online learning with a supervised brick-
and-mortar location is a blended learning which is being developed 
to create an efficacious learning atmosphere for students.
The blended learning or on-line elements can be implemented 
via various ways. For example: 
1. Bring online test. One of the important instructor strategies 
before course study is organization of entry testing to reveal 
students’ language level. The instructor can design tests with 
multiple choices and automates the scores of assignment and to 
simplify tracking and analyzing the results. 
2. Implement a community-oriented practice. Students need 
interaction for mastering language skills, so an accessible discussion 
forum can be utilized after teaching process will be created. This 
forum allows students to maintain contact with fellow students by 
asking questions, exchanging opinions and sending suggestions. 
3. Provide the reference materials. Input and some activities 
can stick to the electronic resources for reading and comprehension. 
These links enable students to deepen certain topics reducing their 
dependence on paper-based materials which are destined to become 
outdated. 
4. Study the course proposes following up activities for fixing 
and practical applying material as well as assessment which can be 
carried out online. In this way, students who need support can rely 
on providing instructor’s assistance, suggestions for self-study or 
simple encouragement. The teacher should write clear instructions 
for students and interact with them via e-mail, forum and Skype and 
organize self-evaluation a peer-evaluation activities.

It is effective way for mastering language skills because it 
serves as a key factor to exchange information, experiences and 
materials among students and student and teacher. Furthermore, 
both students and teachers can possess access to teaching and 
learning materials and know the aims of the learning process, the 
regulatory requirements as well as the results of their activities. 
Although the platform which bonds teachers and students it is 
needed face-to-face classrooms where the teacher explains some 
material, discuss challenges and achievements of teaching and 
learning.
