This study investigates the impact of blended learning on tenth graders’ listening comprehension and their attitudes toward its implementation in listening lessons. A one-group pretest-posttest design was employed with 44 tenth-grade students from an upper secondary school in Hanoi who participated in an eight-week blended learning intervention. Quantitative data were collected through listening tests and a questionnaire. Results from a paired samples t-test analysis indicated a statistically significant improvement in students’ listening performance after the intervention. Additionally, the questionnaire results indicated that students held positive attitudes toward the integration of blended learning into their listening lessons. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of blended learning in enhancing listening skills and suggest its broader application in language education.
