Abstract

During the past two years, a blended-learning program using Moodle and Facebook social media, has been implemented through the use of a virtual learning platform in a number of English courses in the Foreign Languages Department. This virtual platform has been mostly used to provide virtual access to materials and other information resources to students registered in these courses. This action has been taken mainly in an effort to overcome the lack of space for the growing population of the Department. It is essential that the impact and repercussions of the blended-learning program implementation through the application of this virtual learning platform (Moodle) be studied and surveyed to make a diagnosis of the practicality of such implementation. The purpose of this research is to: • Find out the results of the application of a blended-learning program in Intensive English courses at the Foreign Languages Department. • Determine if the current development of the blended-learning program in Intensive English courses satisfies student’s needs. • Identify how the implementation of blended-learning program courses can benefit the Foreign Languages Department on its overpopulation issues. • Describe how the blended-learning program in Intensive English courses is carried out
