Blended learning is the new normal of higher education in the post pandemic era, and the effectiveness of blended learning largely depends on the teachers’ preparation in terms of attitude and ability. This paper first constructs a framework for the analysis of the private university teachers’ readiness for blended learning, and then designs a questionnaire on the readiness of private university teachers for blended learning. Teachers in three private universities in Xi’an are selected as the research objects. Through the form of a questionnaire survey, this paper analyzes the current status of the readiness of private university teachers for blended learning, the difficulties in their implementing blended learning and the reasons for private university students’ “perfunctory online learning” are explored from the perspective of teachers. Finally, the paper proposes strategies to enhance teachers’ readiness from perspectives of universities and teachers, in order to provide ideas and guidance for improving the quality of blended learning in private universities.
