Abstract
In the era of technology blooming, education has witnessed substantial changes in teaching methods when teaching and learning process is not much influenced by in-class activities. Technology advances offer a wonderful opportunity for learners to learn not only in the classroom but also outside. Blended learning with a combination of E-learning and face-to-face learning has prevailed among universities. However, there has been much research on learners’ perceptions towards such new teaching method. This study aims to dig deep into learners’ underlying obstacles, benefits, and perceptions in blended learning environment with the support of Moodle platform. 100 first-year non-English major students from Van Lang University were purposely selected for the research. A questionnaire was generated to collect data at the end of 15-week course. The results showed that learners have positive attitudes towards the reading course on Moodle related to flexible learning time and geographical convenience. However, they also faced some technical problems and WiFi connection interruption. In parallel with the findings, many recommendations have been made.
