ICT application, cognitive skills, language learning, online learningAbstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of ICT application on the acquisition of cognitive skills of language learners. A questionnaire designed by Barnard et al. (2009) has been adopted to collect responses from participants in a teacher training program conducted by the University of Foreign Languages Studies, The UD. The research results demonstrate a positive tendency in language learners to acquire cognitive skills such as academic self-efficacy, time planning and management, study regulation, task strategies, and metacognitive activities when exposed to the online learning environment. This also suggests implications for language instructors to take into consideration to improve learning outcomes.
