Blended learning is becoming a big deal in English classes. It mixes traditional teaching with online tools. This method can make learning better. But there is a problem. Teachers often don't have enough time. This is called time poverty. It makes teachers hesitant to try blended learning.

Time poverty is a real issue. Teachers have a lot on their plates. They plan lessons, grade papers, and deal with students' needs. Adding blended learning can feel like too much. It requires extra time for prep and tech skills. Many teachers feel overwhelmed just thinking about it.

Research on this topic is lacking. Most studies focus on the benefits of blended learning. They don't look at the time it takes. This is a big gap. Understanding time poverty can help schools support teachers better. It can also make blended learning more successful.

Teachers need social support and job satisfaction. These factors can help them accept blended learning. Schools should provide training and resources. They should also create a positive work environment. This can make teachers more open to new methods.

Blended learning is not a magic solution. It has challenges. But it also has potential. Teachers need the right support to make it work. Schools should address time poverty. They should also focus on teachers' well-being. This can lead to better teaching and learning.
