The Implementation of Hybrid Learning Approach in English for Business Communication in Indonesian Vocational Higher Education

Andi MUSDARIAH

Abstract


This article investigates the implementation of hybrid learning in Business
Communication at the vocational education level. The study adopts a virtual case
study approach utilizing digital narrative inquiry to collect data on teachers'
strategies for hybrid learning aimed at enhancing students' business
communication performance. Findings reveal that one teacher successfully
developed a self-initiated hybrid learning model during explorations in this field.
The teacher integrated traditional instruction with diverse online platforms like
Moodle, web-cloud video conferencing, Google Classroom, and social media
platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp to teach English for business
communication. In contrast, other teachers demonstrated limited implementation
of hybrid learning. Notably, the level of hybrid learning implementation was
significantly linked to students' business English performance outcomes. Greater
utilization of hybrid learning strategies correlated with improved student
performance in business communication. The research carries implications for
pedagogy, underscoring the significance of employing diverse hybrid learning
strategies in English teaching.
