Annotation: This article explores the application of blended learning models in
teaching English at military academic lyceums. Combining traditional face-to-face
instruction with digital tools, blended learning offers a flexible, learner-centered
approach that is especially effective in structured and disciplined environments like
military institutions. The article discusses the benefits, challenges, and best practices
of implementing blended learning for English as a Second Language (ESL),
highlighting its impact on language proficiency, learner autonomy, and operational
communication skills. Emphasis is placed on the need for curriculum adaptation,
teacher training, and integration of military-specific content within ESL instruction.
