Abstract
This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of blended learning on the seventh graders’ English grammar achievement in Salfit directorate in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this aim, the researcher conducted a quasi-experimental design. The sample of the study consisted of 46 seventh graders who were studying at Sarta Secondary Girls’ School during the scholastic year 2020/2021. The first group included 24 students who were the experimental group that studied via the intervention (blended learning) whereas 22 students were the controlled group that studied via the traditional method. The data of the study were collected by using pre-posttests and observation tools. The items of the observation were distributed to knowledge, affective, and skill domains. The results of the study indicated that blended learning had a high effect on students’ grammatical achievement and it made them extremely independent and enthusiastic learners. A further finding was that this method provided extra chances of learning for students to study English grammar through blending face-to-face learning and online learning. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended a set of suggestions for teachers, parents, the Ministry of Education, and the researchers.
