EFL setting could benefit from blended learning, especially in academic writing classes. This paper is intended to find the effectiveness of blended learning in teaching academic writing. Two research questions to be answered are (1) how effective is applying enriched virtual blended learning to teach academic writing? and (2) What are the students perspectives towards the use of enriched virtual blended learning in academic writing classes? This paper hopes to add significant findings and to offer some insight to improve academic writing classes.
