Abstract
This article presents a descriptive comparative study on two methods of teaching, the traditional and
blended learning pedagogical approach in a Business Communication course. Forty-four (44) students
from the two controlled groups were enrolled in the course for the first semester of school year 2017-2018
participated in the study. The findings indicated that respondents’ performance in ENGL118 (English
Composition) had an effect on their performance in BUS261(Business Communication) and there was a
significant positive relationship between year level and final grade in BUS261. Therefore, it was concluded
that the year level and grade in ENGL118 have correlationson student’sperformance in BUS261. The
results of the assessments of the two groups were compared and indicated a significant difference in the
results which was influenced by respondents’ year level and mode of conducting assessments. It is further
concluded, that if the characteristics of both groups were the same, blended would have been more
effective than the traditional method.This study recommends adopting the blended pedagogical approach
not only in BUS261 course but also to other courses as applicable.
