Resum

This study explores the views of students of Vinh Long Campus – UEH University on the application of technology devices within English classes. Through surveying 126 19-year-old students, the research also looks into the students’ opinions, habits, and attitudes towards the use of technology in classes. The results show a diverse view among the students of technology: a significant proportion point to technology’s capacity to improve students’ learning, but to even more students, the opportunities and dangers of technology are obvious. The research emphasizes the usefulness of devices in helping students take notes, searching for the required information, and carrying out other engaging tasks. On the other hand, it stresses the need for technology to be well integrated with other complementary pedagogical approaches. The research ends by providing a few suggestions for policy development that encourage the safe utilization of technology in education for improved outcomes.
