Abstract

Online learning and teaching platforms have offered effective alternatives to traditional classrooms, especially during the outbreak of corona virus recently. At Hanoi National University of Education, a variety of online tools and sites have been employed providing lecturers and students with virtual space to upload lectures, video clips, assignments, tests as well as perform numerous interactive activities with a view to engaging students in the online courses. We conducted a research into the actual situation of online learning and teaching in British – American Literature course from students’ perspectives. The findings indicated that H.N.U.E students were relatively well equipped with required facilities and skills for online learning. Students’ attitude towards the study in virtual classrooms was positive and they highly appreciated the benefits and effectiveness of online learning and teaching tools for the literature course. Also, we have proposed several solutions to deal with the challenges which both students and lecturers faced during this process.
