Abstract

The chapter highlights the challenges educators face in effectively blending traditional and digital approaches to early childhood language education. One of the key difficulties is selecting appropriate digital tools that align with educational goals and developmental needs. Many teachers may struggle to identify tools that not only complement traditional instruction but also enhance learning without overwhelming or distracting young children. The absence of comprehensive strategies and best practices for integrating blended learning compounds this issue, leaving educators uncertain about how to balance the two methods effectively. The chapter emphasizes the need for professional development and training to help teachers navigate the complexities of blended learning environments. This training is essential to ensure that educators are equipped with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about which digital tools to use and how to implement them effectively in the classroom.
