Abstract:
In Thailand, e-learning is considered as a new way of learning that is involved with a set of processes and applications related to learning and training through computer-based, online study, virtual classrooms, and other digital collaboration learning. This study focused on online English courses. E-learning applies the most modern technology, focusing on communication skill development by encouraging students to practice speaking with English teachers on a daily basis, following topics which are related to life and work. The main goals in this study are to explore how e-learning outside the classroom enhances the communicative English skills and to study students attitudes towards English learning after e-learning. This research involved a mixed methodological approach of quantitative and qualitative research. A questionnaire survey with closed-end questions and open-end questions was considered as the most appropriate research method for collecting the data with the major advantages of being an efficient, inexpensive, fast, and accurate technique. The population is described as undergraduate students in Thailand with the sample size of 50 students. In this study, non-probability method of convenience sampling was applied. The descriptive analysis of mean was used to interpret the results. Based on the descriptive analysis of mean, the results from self-evaluation indicated that there was a success of e-learning in improving the students English skills. Also, the finding indicated that undergraduate students had very high satisfaction towards online English courses, which is the type of e-learning explored in this study. Further, respondents mostly viewed that studying English through online English courses is new and very interesting and that they like speaking and listening to English teachers during online English courses. They viewed that studying English through online English courses allows them to practice listening and speaking skills. In addition, the result indicated that undergraduate students had positive attitudes towards the effectiveness of online English courses in meeting their expectations and learning goals. They liked the ways of English learning through online English courses and would try to spend more time to take online English courses. With the use of online English courses, they also indicated that their English communication skills are equal or better than their friends on average, based on their self-evaluation. However, there were also some major barriers for them to adopt e-learning to improve their English skill. They suggested that there was a limited number of online e-learning courses
