Abstract
In light of the (2030) educational vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the universities ought to provide their students with an enhanced Language Learning environment for achieving the desired learning outcomes. This study was an attempt to explore Saudia EFL students’ attitudes toward the usage of Web Enhanced Language Learning and to shed light on the problems they face. The study problem could be stated in this main question: What were EFL Taibah University students’ attitudes toward the usage of Web Enhanced Language Learning? For data collection, a 20-item questionnaire was developed and circulated online to 300 EFL first-year students at the Department of English, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Taibah University. The data was collected and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Program. The results showed that the students’ attitudes were positive toward the usage of Web Enhanced Language Learning in EFL. The findings indicated that further research was needed to scrutinize all the problems, with particular emphasis on distraction and EFL apprehension problems. The study recommended generalising the usage of Web-Enhanced Language Learning technologies in EFL learning at all Saudi universities.
