  ABSTRACT: In today’s tech-driven education landscape, blended learning has become essential for college English courses. This study examines what really boosts student outcomes using the Community of Inquiry framework (which focuses on teaching presence, social connections, and critical thinking). Through data analysis with SPSS 26.0 and SmartPLS4, we found three key things: 1) How teachers’ structure lessons directly improve classroom interactions and deep learning, 2) Quality discussions amplify teaching’s impact on both peer relationships and understanding, and 3) Social connections serve as the vital bridge between teaching methods and cognitive growth. This study enhances the Community of Inquiry framework by revealing how student agency drives blended learning success. The findings give educators concrete evidence that empowering learners’ personal initiative optimizes classroom environments and boosts outcomes in college English courses.
