Abstract

It is axiomatic that many attempts were made to use technology in
teaching English for the sake of improving students' learning outcomes
and increasing variability in teaching the English Language, yet few Arab
researchers have dug deep into modes of teaching as such. This paper aims
at investigating An-Najah National University students' perceptions towards
blended learning environment using OCC (Online Course Container) in view
of their achievement level and frequency of online participation. The study
included (92) students enrolled in a general English course (10103) offered at
the Language Center at the university.
A questionnaire was designed to measure the students' attitudes towards
blended learning using the (OCC) in terms of: the process, ease of use, and
content. The study concludes that in general the students’ attitudes towards
BL were positive in terms of the three domains revealing that there was a
direct relation between the achievement level and the students' positive views.
Moreover, there were significant differences in the students’ positive attitudes
due to the frequency of online participation. The more frequently the students
participated on the forum, the more positively their views were shaped.
