ABSTRAK

The proliferation of computer technology and internet access over the last decade has brought significant changes to the mode of language learning. The advance of ICT enables teachers or instructors to create a virtual learning environment (VLE), and allow learners to study beyond the limit of classroom walls. This research is conducted with aims to explain the current usage and practices of virtual learning at English department. To be more specific, the aims are: 1) To investigate the impacts of VLE on student learning; 2) To find out whether VLE can enhance student motivation and autonomy in learning; 3) To gain more information about the benefits of VLE from students’ point of views; and 4) To identify the constraints encountered by students in using VLE. In this research VLE is limited to asynchronous learning by using web tool Edmodo. This research used a mixed-method approach. The research participants were 80 students of fourth semeeter English Department Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training IAIN Antasari Banjarmasin. Data were collected through questionnaire and documentations. The findings reveal that there is a postive impact of the use of Edmodo as VLE to student learning and student motivation. To a certain extent, it also creates autonomy in learning. However, due to some constraints particularly the slow network connection, students prefer to use traditional face-to-face learning mode than virtual learning mode.
