N2 - This paper offers key points to consider in Blended Language Learning (BLL) environments, defined as teaching and learning environments in which technology plays a role. The pedagogical rationale behind BLL is the desire to allow for a higher degree of learner independence in the teaching and learning of second/foreign languages. Based on an empirical study, the paper suggests the following key points for teachers, researchers and administrative staff in charge of implementing technology and a higher degree of learner independence: complementarity, variety of media, class community, flexibility as regards time and space, choice, change of roles, high-quality technology-enhanced materials, technical support, and, most importantly, time for students and teacher to adapt to and develop in the BLL environment. The paper argues that BLL deserves more attention in future research as a promising way of truly integrating (computer) technology and independent learning into everyday second and foreign language learning and teaching
