In this digital era, e- learning becomes popular technology that has been steadily implemented in education in worldwide. Blended learning can be called as learning form that merged traditional full-time form of teaching with modern forms of e-learning, increasing the advantages and minimizing  the disadvantages of each. According to Smith and Kurthen, it utilizes some significant on-line activities in otherwise face to face (F2F) learning, but less than 45 per cent (Tomlinson & Wittaker, 2013).
The blended learning with learning management system (LMS) moodle has applied since 2000 at Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) with the fundamental goals is to provide an educational process via electronic courses up to 80 per cent of disciplines, with the active involvement of teachers in the e-course development. The teaching material consists of  the most popular tools of the LMS Moodle “Book” and  “Glossary”. In addition, the most of exercises and activities are presented by “Wiki”, “Seminar”, “Exercise”, "Quiz”. The result of this study indicated that the teacher highlighted blended learning as a perspective of education in English language teaching.
            If I reflected blended learning in education in Indonesia, certainly it is still far with the improvement of blended learning in Russia itself. But,  the teacher and student in my beloved country can take great advantages of the blended learning since many of them has smart phone or laptop as their main need in academic setting. Thereupon, such of  workshop  or seminar in blended learning must be held to increase teachers’ knowledge in benefitting blended learning. Undoubtedly, the implementation of blended learning in Indonesia is not impossible if the government and teacher really eager to enhance the quality of education in Indonesia. .
