EFL Students Attitudes Towards e-Learning And Effect of An Online Course on Students Success in English
Abstract
In some state universities in Turkey, students are
given English preparatory education for a year and in addition to formal
education they receive in the classroom environment, they also have online
education embedded with into their formal education as an extra opportunity
provided generally by online platforms. Within
e-learning, students have online practice in relation to language areas such as
grammar and vocabulary together with language skills except for speaking.
Although learners have online course to support their formal class
performances, the effect of online course on their overall success at
preparatory classes is not clear. To have an insight into the possible effects
of an online course on their success in English, 47 students were given a
questionnaire to understand their attitudes towards online education, and their
online scores were analyzed in comparison with their midterm and quiz
scores. It was found that the students
have partly positive attitudes towards online course; however, online course
does not help students in terms of their overall success at preparatory class.
