Enhancing EFL Learning Through MyELT LMS: Evaluating the Impact of a Blended Learning Model at a Vietnamese Public University

This study investigates the effectiveness of the MyELT Learning Management System (LMS) in a blended learningenvironment at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, Vietnam, targeting General English courses. It aimsto enhance student performance by integrating technology with traditional teaching methods. Adopting a mixed-methodapproach, it analyzes academic performance records of 2,000 students, divided into MyELT users and non-users, alongsidequalitative data from surveys and interviews with 200 students and 20 lecturers. Quantitative results demonstrate thatMyELT users outperformed non-users, with mean process scores of 8.259 versus 7.818 and final exam scores of 7.647versus 7.185, supported by T-tests indicating statistical significance (p < 0.001). Qualitatively, students valued the system’sflexibility and multimedia resources, while lecturers appreciated its workload reduction, though technical difficulties and theneed for sustained training emerged as challenges. A notable correlation between LMS engagement and increased studentinteraction underscores MyELT’s role in fostering dynamic learning experiences. The study highlights the pivotal roleof LMS integration in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, offering actionable recommendations to mitigatetechnical issues and enhance educator training. These improvements aim to optimize MyELT’s functionality and scalability,contributing to elevated educational quality in Vietnam and comparable settings. This research provides a robust foundationfor advancing blended learning strategies in EFL contexts.
