The incorporation of digital technologies and learning methods have been obtaining international repercutation in the improvement of the traditional English language teaching, including innovative approaches such as the online, mixed with the blending approach. The advantages of both methods lead to the fact of how teachers should use a combination of both methods sticking in the more modern methods to deal with the era of 21st century development and the different needs of students for better academic achievements. Assign online lessons or videos for homework, allowing classroom time to focus on discussions, practice, and application of the language in real-life contexts provide access to a wide range of texts and resources from different cultures and contexts, enriching the learning experience.
