Abstract
This study investigates lecturers' opinions on the non-major English program level A, which is currently being implemented in a synchronous online mode at Ho Chi Minh City Open University. A survey was conducted with the participation of lecturers who teach online for the program. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires with the participation of all 23 lecturers, and qualitative data were obtained through interviews with 10 lecturers. The findings show that the lecturers believe that the program has prepared students quite well for the course and that both lecturers and students have the capacity and conditions to participate in this type of program. However, they still face various difficulties when teaching Speaking and Pronunciation skills as well as classroom management. These difficulties are due to the nature of synchronous online teaching, poor internet connection from students, technical issues, and most notably, some students’ attitudes that are not suitable for online learning. The lecturers also contributed some opinions on the regulations of the university on students’ behavior and exams for non-major English classes in synchronous online mode. Based on the above results, we propose some solutions to improve the effectiveness of the program.
