DEVELOPING, IMPLEMENTING, AND STUDENTS’ EVALUATION OF AN E-LEARNING ENGLISH COURSE FOR LOW-PROFICIENCY LEARNERS AT A VIETNAMESE UNIVERSITY

Abstract

This paper investigated the development, and implementation of an e-learning English course and the evaluation of the course from the perspectives of students across three main dimensions, namely the course design, the tests and assessment, and the technology. The related official documents were used as the data sources to depict the process of the course development and implementation while a questionnaire was employed and administered to 287 non-English major freshmen to collect data for the course evaluation. Document analysis and descriptive statistics analysis were used as the data analysis methods.  The findings shed light on the development and implementation of an e-learning English course and revealed that students had a high evaluation of the course. The research could be a useful reference for administrators, teachers, and educational technology developers having a similar teaching-learning context. The limitations of the study were also identified and suggestions for future research were given.
