INTEGRATING A COMMUNITY OF INQUIRY (CoI) FOR TEACHING WORLD ENGLISHES IN A BLENDED LEARNING CONTEXT AT AN GIANG UNIVERSITY, VIETNAM

Bùi Thị Thùy Trang

Abstract


This article explores the pedagogical integration of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework into the "World Englishes" course for English majors at An Giang University (AGU). Besides, utilizing a blended learning design that harmonizes the university’s Moodle system with synchronous face-to-face instruction, the article details how the synergy of teaching, social, and cognitive presences fosters a collaborative-constructive environment. Therefore, some general rules for applying the CoI framework to the Moodle-based components will be designed to show the effectiveness of the intergration in enhancing student engagement, critical thinking, and learner autonomy when teaching World Englishes at An Giang University.
