An investigation of Vietnamese students’ learning styles in online language learning

Abstract

Online language learning has seen impressive growth during the past decade with the widespread coverage of internet. Although this is a new trend in the language teaching and learning context of Vietnam, online language courses are finding their own ways into Vietnamese language classrooms. This article explores the concept of online learning and analyses responses from students in several online language courses in a university of Vietnam to see how ready the learners are for this new learning mode in terms of learning styles and whether or not students have any difficulties when switching to the new learning style.
