2020年3月，沙特阿拉伯王国的学校停课。在线学习成为传统面对面学习的替代品。本研究旨在探讨这种转变对沙特阿拉伯大学英语专业学生在英语听说课程中态度的影响。这项研究调查了学生对以下几个方面的态度：a）英语口语的重要性; B）教师使用电子邮件传达他们对学生英语口语任务的反馈; c）英语口语的在线教学;以及d）英语语言的在线学习和教学。数据收集工具是一份包含21个项目的问卷。参与者是18名在沙特大学学习英语的二年级男生。调查结果显示，参与者：a）对讲英语的重要性持积极态度; B）欣赏在线学习提供的好处，但认为它不能取代面对面的学习。
In March 2020, schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were suspended. Online learning became a substitute for traditional face-to-face learning. This study addresses the implications of this shift for the attitudes of university-level English majored Saudi students taking a listening and speaking course. The study investigated the students’ attitudes towards: a) the importance of speaking in English; b) teachers use of emails to communicate their feedback on students’ English-speaking tasks; c) online teaching of English speaking; and d) online learning and teaching of the English language. The data collection tool was a 21-item questionnaire. The participants were 18 second-year male Saudi students who were studying English at a Saudi university. The findings showed that the participants: a) had positive attitudes towards the importance of speaking English; b) appreciated the benefits that online learning offers, but felt it could not replace face-to-face learning.
