Abstract
The main aim of this research was to develop a learning model called Blended Inquiry Learning (BIL) with the purpose enhancing students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in language classrooms in higher education. This framework was built upon blended learning and inquiry-based methods that involved a series of steps: exposure, investigation with the team, peer verification, communication, and closing. This study adopted a Research and Development (R&D) design with several research instruments being used for data collection. The findings showed that the implementation of BIL model significantly improved students’ higher order thinking skills including analysis, evaluation and creation abilities. Students also showed increased motivation and engagement in the learning process. Therefore, learning model can be an option to improve the quality of language education, particularly in the context of Indonesian language, in higher education.
