Students’ Perception of using Online Language Learning Materials

AbstractFirst semester students in UiTM were instructed to take an active role in their own learning experiences through the use of online language learning materials to support their learning activities. Students were given a maximum of ten (10) marks for this assignment. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to 100 students to discover their perception and collective experiences upon completing the online tasks. 97 questionnaires were returned and results are obtained through analysis of the data obtained. Students feedback was categorized into six main issues namely frequency of website visits, choice, and recommendation. The remaining three issues are the problems students faced, their opinion on the effectiveness of this task and students‟ initiative to access these websites. The study proves that several issues need to be highlighted in order to ensure the effectiveness of using online materials in language learning. Suggestions on how to improve this task are also presented in the paper
