An exploration of a flexible pathways learning design for EFL language learners
Abstract: This preliminary study explores the effectiveness of a learning design model based on individual learning pathways combining in-person and online learning for English instruction in a rural university in Uruguay. We examine the impact of the students' chosen learning pathways and their English proficiency level, and how different demographic factors can interact with learning pathways to determine English learning outcomes. The results show a significant increase in English proficiency which indicates students can benefit from flexible learning designs that support their learning preferences.
