Abstract

The purposes of this qualitative inquiry were to explore EFL learners' challenges in online speaking and their strategies in overcoming the challenges. To collect the data, we employed semi-structured interviews and audio diary to 12 EFL learners who voluntarily participated in our study. Based on data analysis, we identified four interrelated themes and sub-themes about EFL learners' challenges in online speaking classes, such as 1) internet and technology related issues (poor connection and lack of technological knowledge); 2) linguistics issues (limited vocabulary, lack of grammatical knowledge, fluency problem, and pronunciation problem); 3) psychological issues (anxiety, low motivation and insecure); and 4 learning proponents (lack of topical knowledge and unsupportive peers). To overcome those encountered challenges, EFL learners used several strategies, including 1) Self-management (self-practice and being well-prepared); 2) helping from others (asking or having discussion with friends and asking the lecturers); and technological support (taking advantage of entertainment platforms and language applications).
