Student Engagement in Online Language Learning: A Study at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia

Abstract

Online learning is essential to the learning process in this pandemic era. It is heavily included into the educational process for Malaysian pupils. Studying the effects of this online education, particularly at the postsecondary level, is equally fascinating. The implementation of online learning has been successful due to a select few elements. The perception of the pupils and their involvement in the learning process are among the variables. 233 undergraduate students from various academic levels participated in this study. The respondents were given a set of questions in order to gather information about their opinions and level of interest in learning English through online courses. Results indicated that they had a highly favourable opinion of English online classes and that they were very involved in them. Implementing the online courses presented some difficulties, including gaps in the technology, a lack of documentation, and the teaching methodology. In order to guarantee the optimum outcome and satisfaction with the learning process, blended learning is advised.
