Nowadays, e-learning becomes useful to learning institutions worldwide,
and because of that, an assessment of e-learning readiness is essential for the
successful implementation of e-learning as a platform for learning. Success
in e-learning can be achieved by understanding the level of readiness of
e-learning environments. University of Kuala Lumpur already facilitate
each campus with e-learning facilities and conducting workshop to the
students and lecturers. Still, not all lecturers are ready to use e-learning
in their teaching process. This study was carried out to examine UniKL
English lecturers’ readiness in the usage of e-learning. For this purpose,
English lecturers of University of Kuala Lumpur will be given an online
questionnaire on the usage of e-learning in their teaching process. For data
collection, one set of online questionnaire was designed. The questionnaires
were distributed to 51 English lecturers at UniKL but only 30 responded
to the online questionnaires. The overall findings of this research shows
that English lecturers prefer to use traditional way which is face-to-face
medium to teach English, even though they are ready to embrace e-learning
in their teaching process due to few constrains. The study revealed a
positive relationship between the facilities of e-learning at the University
of Kuala Lumpur and English lecturers’ acceptance of using e-learning in
their teaching process.
