Abstract

This study set out to learn more about the learners’ feedback on their experience with the university’s learning management system in their English Language learning. The objectives of this study were to investigate a) the learners’ feedback on their blended learning experience during their language learning, b) the learners’ experience in carrying out Grammar Practices and c) the learners’ experience in carrying out Vocabulary Practices via an LMS. The study investigated 68 English Language learners of a public university in Malaysia attending Level 1 English proficiency course. A set of questionnaire containing 38 items using 4-points Likert-type scale was administered to measure their general blended learning experience as well as their LMS experience for their Grammar and Vocabulary learning. The study found that learners perceived their blended learning experience with LMS as well as their Grammar and Vocabulary learning experience via an LMS a positive experience. Learners also showed a favourable support for future application of LMS in the English Learning.
