Nur Fatima Wahida Mohd Nasir1, Izaham Shah Ismail2.
In the fi eld of education, technology has developed vastly in becoming one
of the main media of instruction in schools, institutions or even training
programmes. Educators from all over the world are now looking into
new implementations in replacing the old conventional way of teaching
to enhance a better learning environment among students in this era of
globalization. Special attention is now focusing into what is known as a
combination of e-learning and face to face learning (F2F) called blended
learning. This paper was conducted among 156 Diploma undergraduates
of the Universiti of Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam, Malaysia which
investigated students’ readiness of a newly-designed blended learning
English language profi ciency course under the Academy of Language
Studies (ALS). Correlation between students’ readiness and their enjoyment
going through the new course is also investigated. Findings indicate that
Diploma students of UiTM Shah Alam exhibit above-medium levels of
readiness toward blended learning and that there is a negative correlation
between students’ readiness with their enjoyment going to ELC classes.
Further recommendations of the research are also discussed in the paper.
