Abstract

Currently in Mexico, 51% of Mexicans who are studying use online platforms and courses. A study was conducted in the Fall of 2019, 162 students’ perceptions in various online Content and Language Integrated Learning courses offered completely in English in a university in Monterrey, Mexico. The purpose of the study was to determine students’ perceptions of the most important and least important components, as well as students’ greatest challenges in taking online courses in a foreign language. The students’ perceptions were categorized into six areas: course organization, interaction with teachers and classmates, ease of navigation, technology, course materials and content, and assessment. Students selected the following as the most important course components: course organization, easily understood content, quality of course materials. The online course components that students selected as the least important were interaction with classmates, videos recorded by the instructor, and course objectives. The study also revealed a weak relationship in the student to student interactions. This study provided the instructor with feedback on the online courses so that the instructor can make future course modifications to increase student success in the online courses.
