Abstract
Abstract: The 4th industrial revolution effects many areas in today’s global era, including higher institution. Internet is the main instrument in this revolution. The limitation of time room availability of the students will accord if the schools apply face to face only in learning process. Blended learning is the alternative solution to overcome the case of inability time and place to learn. In addition to developing distance universities should also equip students with English reading skill. This study is aimed at describing the effect of blended learning on English academic reading by using experimental method with pretest-posttest control design. The sample of this research is 32 students of AMIK Bina Sriwijaya. The data were collected through English reading comprehension test in the form of multiple choice and were analyzed by using Independent Sample T test. Based on the Independent Sample T test output table in the Equal variances assumed section, it is found that Sig values. (2 tailed) of 0.001<0.05. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the average learning outcomes of respondents in the experimental group and respondents in the control group. In other word, there is significant effect of blended learning on students reading skill achievement.
Abstrak: Revolusi industri 4 mempengaruhi banyak area di era global dewasa ini, termasuk perguruan tinggi. Internet merupakan instrumen utama dalam revloution ini. keterbatasan ruang dan waktu siswa akan terjadi jika sekolah hanya menerapkan system bleajar tatap muka saja dalam proses pembelajaran.

Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 32 siswa dari AMIK Bina Sriwijaya. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes membaca academic bahasa Inggris dalam bentuk pilihan ganda dan dianalisis menggunakan Independen Sampel T-test. Berdasarkan tabel output Independen Sampel T-test, ditemukan bahwa nilai Sig. (2 tailed) sebesar 0,001 < 0,05. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara rata-rata hasil belajar responden pada kelompok eksperimen dan responden pada kelompok kontrol.
