Investigating EFL English-Majored Students’ Perceptions Towards Online Learning: The Case of a University in Vietnam

This study looks at how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students majoring in English perceive online learning at a Vietnamese institution. The transition to online education has created new problems and possibilities for EFL students. The purpose of this study is to investigate students’ opinions about online learning platforms and methodologies, as well as their perceived efficacy. Data was obtained using a qualitative technique, with a questionnaire distributed to a sample of English-majored students. The findings show that, while students like the flexibility and accessibility of online learning, they also confront substantial hurdles such as technological concerns, decreased engagement with professors, and difficulty sustaining motivation and self-discipline. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significance of teacher assistance, efficient communication, and better digital literacy among students. These findings can help educators and policymakers improve online learning environments and meet the particular needs of EFL learners in Vietnam.
