Hybrid learning in education is not something new in this educational era and its emergence can be useful to improve the English as Second Language (ESL) teaching and learning. Moreover, various platforms can be used in instilling hybrid learning. Creative usage of the various platforms can be helpful in order to help with the ESL teaching and learning and in promoting sustainable education at once. In these modern days, a review on the various platforms used and skills in hybrid learning to improve ESL teaching and learning is still lacking. This systematic literature review systematically identifies the various platforms used and the English skills in the hybrid learning. Using ResearchGate, Scopus and Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC) databases, 16 articles were extracted out of 116, from 2010-2022, with certain criteria taken into consideration. Three significant findings are concluded based on this review. First, hybrid learning affects ESL teaching and learning in a positive way. Second, various platforms can be used in instilling hybrid learning in ESL teaching and learning. Third, ESL skills can be improved by hybrid learning. These three findings implied that various platforms (offline or online) in hybrid learning are useful in improving the ESL skills. This review will help practitioners to identify the use of various platforms in hybrid learning and skills thus there are chances of succeeding the education for the future.
