Abstract

Online teaching methods are important solutions to improve the quality of education from pre-school to university. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using a website to develop digital skills in online teaching for pedagogical English majored students. Specifically, the study conducted an action research with 52 students during the summer semester of the 2020-2021 school year and the first semester of the 2021-2022 school year. Based on a summary of product reviews on digital skills in online teaching of the students and survey results, the study has evaluated the effectiveness of the website for the students to develop digital skills in online teaching. From not knowing how to organize classes or evaluate students when being surveyed, after the experiment, most of the students clearly understood and knew how to deploy online classes with the necessary softwares and supporting tools. The website is an evidence which shows the great effectiveness of open and official learning resources in developing digital skills in online teaching for students.
