المستخلص

Hybrid learning is a relatively new technology-based teaching approach. Few attempts have been made to apply this approach in medical education. The present paper aims at investigating the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid learning program in developing some English language skills for the students studying at the faculty of Physical Therapy, Delta University for Science and Technology in Egypt. The proposed program integrates English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses with the hybrid learning approach in the physical therapy field. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design. The control group studied the traditional English course in the traditional face-to-face methods of teaching. The experimental group studied the proposed ESP course using the study hybrid learning program. Statistical results revealed that the mean scores of the experimental group surpassed the mean scores of the control group in terms of the assigned language skills needed for the physical therapy students according to their specialization. Hence, the study reached the conclusion that hybrid learning is more effective than traditional face-to-face teaching in developing the English language skills of the physical therapy students.
