A Study of the Influence of Learner-to-Instructor Interaction in Online Learning for Learning French

The objective of the study is to explore learners’ perceptions of online interactions. Specifically, this study is conducted to address various questions based on a selected survey. To examine motivational factors for learning among undergraduates, a quantitative survey was conducted using a 5-point Likert scale and referencing [19] interaction types. The survey involved 120 respondents (male 39%, female 61%) and included four sections: A) Demographic Profile, B) Learner-to-Learner Interaction, C) Learner-Instructor Interaction, and D) Learner-to-Content Interaction. The findings revealed a high mean score of 4.4, indicating respondents’ agreement with the instructor’s teaching style, which involved student’s active participation. Additionally, the importance of having an overview of the content before the class begins received a high mean score of 4.2. As for Section C, the findings obtained are analysed using SPSS to find the correlation in the mean scores between Learner-to-Instructor and other types of interactions in online learning. In conclusion, interaction in the learning environment is crucial, as it significantly ensures the effectiveness of acquiring knowledge and skills. It also consists of three essential dimensions of interaction: learning to course content, learner to instructor, and learner to learner which are important in the learning environment [23].
