Abstract
E-learning using blended approaches of language content online provided opportunities for both students and instructors to widen college participation. Studies measured the functional effectiveness of the provision, students learning strategies and instructors insight. A language program in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia provided the opportunity for two groups to be studied over a semester. One group was taught using face to face and the other blended with e-learning solutions. At the end of the semester students learning through a survey, their written work and interviews provided teachers with an insight that allowed statistical and thematic analysis on the data collected. The study reflectively expanded on the measurement of the influence of e-learning to support the intensive English language learning of students. The influence of using Blackboard offered three opportunities. First, using Bb promoted students deeper learning strategies. Second, using language learning frameworks for content creation encouraged meaningful learning. Third, the strategies and encouragement promoted students' success which promoted program and wider implications of meeting organizational goals through this collaboration.
