What academic challenges or difficulties do online students of the National and Foreign Language Teaching Program face during their studies?
Online education has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, offering flexibility and access to academic training to a greater number of students; however, this modality presents challenges that can affect the learning process.
The main problems facing online learners today is the lack of interaction and feedback,this can trigger lack of understanding of content.Sometimes, students find online teaching boring and unappealing because online teaching videos are too long, which reduces students' enthusiasm and interest in learning (Li and Wang, 2019). Factors such as connectivity, access to teaching resources, and clarity in instructions can also influence their performance.Online programs should be designed to be creative,
interactive, relevant, student-centered, and group-based (Partlow and Gibbs, 2003).
Students face various academic difficulties ranging from time management and autonomy in learning to limited interaction with teachers and peers.Although asynchronous online learning provides a lot of response time and high degrees of flexibility for students, they still struggle to find enough time to complete assignments (Knox, 2016).
The purpose of this research is to analyze the academic challenges faced by the students of the National and Foreign Language Teaching Program in the online modality, and to find possible solutions to improve their educational experience.
