Abstract

Blended Learning (BL) is the integration of Face-to-Face classes with a virtual
component where students work on different interactive activities. It extends learning
foreign language through the innovative use of information and communication
technology. It is the combination of different training media such as technologies,
activities, and types of events and accommodates a variety of learning styles. Through
BL, students become far more active in their own learning, feeling more technologically
empowered and able to learn anywhere and anytime in the manner that best suits their
lifestyle. Blended learning environments provide educators with a variety of features
and tools that effectively foster social interaction. Teachers can encourage their
students to engage in social interaction by using one of the social media tools. In
blended learning environments, students can express thoughts and feelings. They can
also assess their own work and become aware of others. Through blended learning that
promotes inquiry processes by providing designed tasks, Internet resources, and
interaction with others, students can develop language skills more effectively. The aim
of the paper is to display interactive activities that can be used to build a blended
learning experience for students. More precisely, these additional activities include
visually rich images to help students approach the development of their language skills.
