This study explores the development of effective blended learning models in ESL (English as a Second Language) education. The research focuses on how blended learning can optimize language acquisition by balancing traditional teaching with digital tools. The methodology involves analyzing pedagogical strategies, technological integration, and student engagement approaches. Findings indicate that a well-structured blended learning model enhances learning outcomes, increases student motivation, and provides flexible, personalized education. However, challenges such as digital accessibility and assessment complexities remain. This paper discusses strategies to address these issues, emphasizing the need for continuous improvement in blended learning frameworks.
