Abstrakt

This article explores the pedagogical integration of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework into the "World Englishes" course for English majors at An Giang University (AGU). Besides, utilizing a blended learning design that harmonizes the university’s Moodle system with synchronous face-to-face instruction, the article details how the synergy of teaching, social, and cognitive presences fosters a collaborative-constructive environment. Therefore, some general rules for applying the CoI framework to the Moodle-based components will be designed to show the effectiveness of the intergration in enhancing student engagement, critical thinking, and learner autonomy when teaching World Englishes at An Giang University.
