Abstract :

Combining the greatest aspects of online and in-person instruction is known as blended learning.The study's objectives are to teach 21st Century Skills using the blended learning approach for simple and efficient language acquisition and to incorporate both the development of 21st Century Skills and the blended learning approach as learning topics in our school system's curricula. The practices of the two primary 21st-century model components—soft and hard skills—are integrated through blended learning. With this more student-centered approach, kids can fully engage in ICT, Numeracy, problem-solving, and collaboration. With blended learning, students can engage, communicate, present, work in groups, debate, and exchange ideas and resources at any time and from any location. Through engaging in engaging activities and interacting with diverse personalities, students can optimise the blended learning approach and cultivate 21st-century competencies. The advent and popularity of blended learning can be leveraged to learn new skills and gain knowledge in the most efficient manner possible.
