Synopsis

Several methods are being used by a growing number of pupils to better their grasp of the English language. The purpose of this research was to collect student feedback on how best to implement and leverage technology in the classroom. The term "technology" is used interchangeably with "digital technology" throughout this study. The primary objectives of this study are to (1) investigate the attitudes of students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry (HUFI) toward the use of technology in the classroom, (2) identify the types of technological resources that are most popular among HUFI students, and (3) investigate the ways in which these attitudes differ between different groups of students. These three inquiries are designed to learn more about them. The author surveyed 153 students enrolled in English 2 after completing English 1 for a total of 30 weeks. These students came from the Chinese Language, Business Administration, Mechanical Engineering, and Tourism departments. The research points to connections between learner dispositions, cognitive factors, and technological participation. Another key distinction is that boys, in general, are better at using technological devices than girls.
