Abstract [English]

The integration of digital tools in English Language Teaching (ELT) through blended learning has altered how learners employ with content. This study explores the perceptions of B.Ed. students towards blended learning in English across three teacher education institutions in Tamil Nadu. The data was collected from St. Xavier's College of Education, Sri Ram NallamaniYadava College of Education, and SCAD College of Education. By using a structured questionnaire administered to 100 students, this research validates three hypotheses related to confidence, technological trust, and learning satisfaction in blended contexts. Findings indicate a high level of acceptance and satisfaction with blended learning among students, though moderated by gender, location, and medium of instruction. This paper also includes secondary sources to contextualize results.
