Abstract

This paper examines Malaysian undergraduates’ perception of Computer-mediated Communication (CMC), their Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English as a Second Language (L2) during online class, and the nature of the relationship between CMC and online L2-WTC. Quantitative analysis reveals that Malaysian undergraduates have a favorable perception of CMC, a moderate level of online L2-WTC, and that there is a significant moderate relationship between CMC and online L2-WTC. As such, instructors are reminded to take advantage of technology and to play an active part in ensuring that learning and communication involving the students to take place during online class.
