ABSTRAKPenggunaan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran merupakan hal yang selalu digunakan. Di era industri 4.0 guru dituntut memiliki kemampuan yang cukup dalam mengikuti perkembangan teknologi. Pembelajaran yang berfokus kepada proses tatap muka harus sudah diintegrasi dengan blended-learning. Kondisi ini membuat Google sebagai salah satu web tool terbesar memperkenalkan Google Classroom (GC) pada tahun 2014. Adanya GC diharapkan bisa menjadi solusi untuk permasalahan seperti kurangnya jam pelajaran mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris ditingkat SMP. Namun sayangnya masih banyak guru yang masih belum mengetahui tentang kebermanfaatan GC. Sehingga melalui pengabdian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran yang holistik terkait dengan pengunaan GC khususnya dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Lebih jauh, pengabdian ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa inggris siswa yang meliputi kemampuan menyimak (listening), berbicara (speaking), membaca (reading), dan menulis (writing). Metode pengabdian dilaksanakan ada empat tahapan yaitu: a) tahapan analisis, b) tahapan penyusunan materi , c) tahapan pelaksanaan, dan d) tahapan penyusunan laporan kegiatan. Adapun hasil dari pengabdian ini adalah semua guru peserta belum mengenal GC, sehingga guru sangat antusias dan tertarik dengan penggunaan GC. Guru mengetahui flatform yang dapat mereka gunakan dalam pembelajaran yang berintegrasi dengan blended learning. Guru dapat lebih mudah untuk mengelola tugas kelas dengan cepat dan memberikan umpan balik kepada siswa secara efektif.  Akan tetapi, fasilitas seperti ketersediaan koneksi yang baik juga harus didukung demi lancarnya penggunaan GC dalam pembelajaran.Kata kunci: Google Classroom, blended-learning, teknologi industri 4.0 ABSTRACTTechnology is always used in teaching and learning process. In industry 4.0, teachers are asked to develop skill in using technology. Learning focuses not only in the classroom but also it should be integrated with blended learning. This situation makes google as one biggest web tool to introduce google classroom (GC) in 2014, GC is expected to be solution to solve the problems such as limitation of time in learning. Unfortunately, many teachers do not know about GC. So, this community services program is expected to help teachers in using GC, especially English teachers. Besides, it is also to improve English language skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. There are four methods of community services program, they are: a) analysis step, b) material arrangement, c) implementation, d) report. The result of community services shows that all teachers as participants do not know about GC, so they are really excited in using GC. Teachers know GC and they can implement in learning and it can be integrated learning. Teachers are easier to manage the class and help teachers to assess the assignment effectively. Nevertheless, the good connection should be determined to support the implementation of using GC.Kata kunci: Google Classroom, blended-learning, Industry technology 4.0

Although blended learning (BL) has been utilized in English language teaching globally for the past few decades, it is a new phenomenon in the Vietnamese context. Little research has been done to simultaneously investigate how students and lecturers perceive blended learning implementation for English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching and learning in Vietnam, particularly within the higher education context. This study thus aims to investigate lecturers’ and students’ perspectives on BL implementation in an English Fundamentals course at a polytechnic in Hanoi, Vietnam. Data was collected via an online survey of 1500 non-English majors in the Fall 2019 semester and via interviews with 5 full-time EFL lecturers. The findings revealed that lecturers and students had positive perceptions of BL. For lecturers, the implementation of BL impacted their teaching approach and shifted the teaching of grammar and vocabulary from face-to-face to self-studying grammar and vocabulary using online lessons, devoting more in-class time to practicing speaking. Students meanwhile revealed that BL helped them develop self-autonomy of learning.

The results also indicated that teachers have also improved their language component upon being enrolled in the course. These documents that all the language skills have been enhanced, and they are very motivated. Therefore, future research should focus on a specific language component in order to gain a deeper insight of continuum from this study.
