Keywords:
hybrid modality; English learning; virtual learning environments.Abstract
The rise of hybrid learning is one of the most important stipulations in higher education during the COVID 19 pandemic. This has required changes in the learning of English with a more active and comprehensive direction for students and a better design by teachers that focuses on engaging, exciting and easy-to-use platforms. Thus, the objective of this work is to describe the considerations of students in the process of learning English as a second foreign language with the hybrid modality in the Technology Transfer Center. The research was carried out from a qualitative-quantitative and descriptive approach to the student reality. A survey was designed that was applied to the entire population of three levels (4th, 5th and 6th) because they were the ones who received English in the face-to-face and online modality. The results obtained indicate that the greatest difficulties are typical of online teaching: fatigue for hours in front of the computer, problems with the Internet connection, deconcentration due to noise in the places of the connection.
