RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION |
Due to COVID-19 pandemic,
educational institutions have been ordered to close and as a result, students
must resort to full-time online learning. Gismalla et al. (2020)
conducted a study on medical students’ perceptions towards challenges and
difficulties of e-learning and discovered that students are willing to
continue their learning and educational process via e-learning even though
they encounter issues such as internet service, facilities, technical
support, live sessions, interactions and exam conductions. The gap of the study is that it
did not explore the ways of how students overcome the identified issues. The
students will consist of Sabahan students in which the state is known for
having limited broadband services when the news of a Sabahan university
student who climbed a tree to ensure she had a good internet connection to
sit for her online exams shocked the nation. Apart from connectivity issues,
this research will explore other challenges faced by Sabahan students during
online language learning and how they overcome those difficulties. |
