Blended learning has become an attractive tendency in education world­wide since the internet develops quickly and attracts a vast number of us­ers. In English language teaching and learning, blended learning offers a lot of promising potential in helping learners to acquire and improve their language competence. The current study was conducted in form of a ques­tionnaire survey at a university in Vietnam to explore students’ overall per­ceptions of blended learning as well as its benefits and challenges. All 165 participants in the current study have experienced learning English in a blended learning environment in two consequential semesters. The findings reveal that more than half of participants had good perceptions about the environment and perceived various benefits as well as challenges of it. However, the study implies that to make blended learning more effective in Vietnam context, more teacher involvement should be implemented.
