The use of LHU’s learning management system in learning english after COVID 19 pandemic: students’ voice

Abstract

The use of learning management systems (LMS) or remote learning has become more important in the teaching and learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic. Universities in Vietnam, such as Lac Hong University (LHU), have used several Moodle-based LMSs to support teachers and students. In addition to other popular learning and teaching technologies, LHU has been employing Moodle-based LMS, www.learn.lhu.edu.vn, also known as LEARN. However, using LEARN occasionally ran into issues. Has LEARN continued to emphasize its role afther the pandemic? The article examines the students’ attitude to use LEARN as an online learning tool in studying English. Online questionnaires about how to use LEARN in learning English were posed to 191 students. Their favorable perceptions about learning English using Moodle (LEARN) are presented in the findings. However, there are still some clear drawbacks to utilizing Moodle for English education, such as network and technological issues that were also covered in the report. Then some practical suggestions for such issues have been presented: purchasing more wifi routers to improve internet connectivity and scheduling online workshops or upload videos on resolving technical problems students, especially freshmen and sophomores encounter while using LEARN.
