Abstract

This study investigates the experiences of both students and teachers in applying the HyFlex model for English reading instruction in Indonesian vocational schools. A qualitative interview method was employed to gather data from participants, which were then analyzed using thematic analysis guided by Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory. The results indicate that HyFlex learning offers greater flexibility, enhances student motivation, and supports the development of reading skills. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, including unstable internet connectivity, limited technological resources, and issues related to student discipline. The findings emphasize the crucial role of adequate technological infrastructure and effective pedagogical preparation in ensuring the successful implementation of the HyFlex model.
