This study investigated the influence of blended learning on English language assessment methods and practices in undergraduates’ classes in two technical colleges in Saudi Arabia. The teachers, a total of six, were interviewed, and the students, a total of 70, were given a questionnaire to examine their perceptions toward assessment through blended learning. Results indicate that blended learning is an effective and enjoyable method, and it has a great impact on assessment outcomes and practices. This study suggests the usefulness of using different assessment methods through blended learning.
