ABSTRACT
Foreign languages have become an important factor in every person's life, it is
a useful tool to increase the ability to earn more income for each person.
Foreign languages are not only helpful for students who are also sitting in
school, but also for those who have worked. That has led to many foreign
language centers being opened, not only in English but also in other popular
languages such as Korean, Japanese, etc.
However, events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have forced teachers and
foreign language training centers to move away from face-to-face lessons and
adopt online teaching methods. Language learning brings a lot of benefits to
everyone not only during the pandemic but also when this time is over. It helps
learners to be free in terms of time, save money, study in parallel with life,
increase their ability to focus.
In this research, I will show you the effectiveness of online language learning.

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of December 2019, this disease
has created a turning point, a great change in economic life in most countries
around the world, in which Vietnam we are no exception. Among them,
education is considered to be one of the most affected areas. According to
UNESCO, since the pandemic broke out to April 8, 2020, nearly 1.6 billion
students around the world have been affected; 188 countries were forced to
close schools nationwide, affecting 91.3% of all students worldwide.
Up to now, Vietnam has experienced 4 outbreaks of COVID-19 epidemic,
resulting in many schools in Vietnam being forced to close for students to stay
away from school to avoid the epidemic. In that context, to ensure the safety of
students during the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that students complete
their studies on schedule, many schools and institutions have applied online
learning at home because traditional schooling. It also leads to the consequence
that all centers as well as schools that train foreign languages must convert to
online learning.
However, not all students are familiar with such online learning and as a
result, they may not know all the effects of online learning instead of online
learning.

CHAPTER 2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Tools of online language learning
Internet is more and more widely used by everyone. And the Internet is also
applied in learning and teaching today. Teachers also used a lot of web tools in
their lectures to help students approach and be more interested in foreign
languages.
Internet-based language instruction (IBLI) can be defined as language
teaching conducted on the Internet using Internet tools and resources (Son,
2004). Currently, there are many tools to help learn foreign languages online.
The Yale Center for Language Study [1] has broadly categorized these tools
into audio recording and editing (Vocaroo), online text editing and co-editing
tools (GoogleDocs), popular tools online learning such as Microsoft Teams,
Zoom, Google Meet.
2.2 Acquisition of Language Skills
Currently, thanks to the development of the Internet, students' ability to
acquire foreign languages is gradually improving because they are exposed to a
rich foreign language environment on Internet platforms. However, not all
platforms have its benefits, and some researchers have cast doubt on the
effectiveness of online language learning. Even in other parts of the world,
studies have shown that people can only achieve effective learning in speaking
or writing in a second language [2], [3], [4].
