dc.description	Esta investigación analiza el impacto de un entorno de aprendizaje combinado centrado en el estudiante en las habilidades de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) de estudiantes de grado 11 en una escuela pública colombiana, guiada por el marco EMPOWER. Se empleó una metodología cualitativa, incluido el análisis temático, para examinar cómo la combinación de aprendizaje presencial y virtual fomenta la autonomía, el compromiso y mejores resultados a través de la participación activa y la instrucción personalizada. Los hallazgos indican que este enfoque mejora la autonomía y la adaptabilidad, a pesar de desafíos como el tamaño reducido de la muestra y las desigualdades tecnológicas. El estudio concluye que este modelo combinado tiene potencial para un aprendizaje efectivo del idioma y recomienda investigaciones futuras para evaluar su efectividad a largo plazo y aplicabilidad en contextos más amplios.	spa
dc.description.abstract	This research investigates the impact of a student-centered blended learning environment on EFL skills in 11th-grade students at a Colombian public school, guided by the EMPOWER framework. A qualitative methodology, including thematic analysis, was employed to examine how combining face-to-face and virtual learning fosters autonomy, engagement, and improved outcomes through active participation and personalized instruction. Findings indicate that this approach enhances autonomy and adaptability, despite challenges such as a small sample size and technological disparities. The study concludes that this blended model holds promise for effective language learning and recommends further research to assess its long-term effectiveness and broader applicability.	spa
