• Resumen

  • This study addresses a gap in research by investigating the role of the Blackboard platform in information communication technology based (ICT-based) language education, particularly among Chinese master’s students in the UK. Aiming to enhance the proficiency of Blackboard utilization, the research involved 54 postgraduate students, utilizing questionnaires and interviews to gather data. The findings reveal a positive impact on English language learning, emphasizing improvements in listening (β = 0.180), reading (β = 0.151) and interaction (β = 0.130). This research contributes to the understanding of the efficacy of Blackboard in foreign language education, offering insights for both educators and learners.
