An Giang University (AGU), like other tertiary institutions, shifted entirely to online education, including English language education. This rapid transformation continues to profoundly impact English teaching and learning, even after the pandemic is contained. However, little research has been conducted to determine how far students studying English as a foreign language (EFL) experienced the opportunities and challenges of online English language learning. To address this gap, the study investigates the students’ perceptions of the opportunities and challenges of online English language learning at AGU during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected using in-depth interviews with eight students. The results indicated that online education afforded AGU EFL students a wide range of opportunities, including increased confidence levels, the opportunities of social interaction, flexible online learning mode and improved English and improved IT skills. The students, on the other hand, encountered a number of challenges, consisting of issues with their physical health, procrastination, distractions from their learning environment, technological challenges, and testing and assessment difficulties. The findings had important implications for both students who want to succeed at online English language learning and instructors and educators who create and conduct online courses. The findings also provided insights into how online English language education is implemented. 2023-04-10T04:08:11Z 2023-04-10T04:08:11Z 2023 Conference Paper https://digital.lib.ueh.edu.vn/handle/UEH/67123 en The Proceedings of the second international conference on Applied Linguistics and Language Education 2022: Reconnecting and Thriving in the new normal reserved PDF 31 56 UEH Publishing House
