Blended teaching approach is a method of instruction that combines both face-to-face, traditional teaching approach and technology-based online teaching approach. This study designed, implemented, and assessed the effectiveness of a blended teaching approach in improving pre-service teachers' English grammar skills, their attitude and perception. The blended approach integrates online and face-to-face teaching, offering a modern and effective alternative to traditional teaching methods. Quasi- experimental survey research design was adopted. One intact class of 604 1st semester students of General English lll (GSE 211) were selected and sub-divided into 302 each for both the experimental and control groups. The blended teaching intervention lasted six week and three instruments: Students’ Achievement Test (SAT), Students’ Attitude Rating Scale (SARS) and Evaluation of Students’ Perception of Grammar Skills (ESPGS) were used to gather data from the respondents. The post tests scores revealed significantly higher scores for the experimental group in all three aspects tested, revealing that implementing blended teaching and learning approach impacts positively on students’ English language Grammar skillsReferences
