Background
As part of the research and development agenda, we are currently focusing on information and users Communication
Technology (ICT) about teaching and learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Suggestion for research that ICT has the most
positive effect on language teaching and learning where it is targeted at certain fields, especially reading, with a clear rationale for
its use from the basis of extensive research on ICTs, on pedagogy and on developing student learning in classrooms. In the
Indonesian national curriculum, English has been classified from the basic level to the university level. This paper is talking about
reading. Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary! The context of articles, stories, and conversations helps you figure
out and understand the meaning of English words in the text that are new to you. Reading also provides repetition of vocabulary
words you have already learned to help you remember them. Reading comprehension is easier if you already know the keywords
in the reading. This is one reason that new vocabulary is presented and practiced at the beginning of each USA Learns unit. You
learn the meaning and practice the pronunciation of the most important words that you will later read in video scripts and reading
lessons. Here also introduced methods in improving reading learning. the method raised by the researcher is dexway blended
learning. Dexway Blended Learning Method combines face to face classes with online training. A method which recreates real-life
situations organized in a learning environment combining multimedia content with live interaction. The student’s language skills
develop naturally through structured lessons. Student progresses during each lesson at their own pace starting with vocabulary
warm ups and gradually building up to more complex exercises. This system allows progressive and flexible learning of grammar
rules, lexical and phonetic concepts through practice.

De Praeter [12], a classic
example of using the

is a course of English as a
second language where the
instructor decides that all
audio-based activities
(listening comprehension
and oral comprehension)
will take place in the
classroom while all written
text-based activities will
take place online (reading
comprehension and essay

EFL course is designed

there are even further
benefits of the blended

teaching of foreign
languages.
