ABSTRACTThe current study aimed to explore the perceptions of Saudi undergraduate students towards online learning during COVID-19. A total of 198 students completed a survey to this end. The results of the survey showed that the three factors referred to as ‘effectiveness of online learning,’ ‘interactivity of online learning’ and ‘counteractive online learning’ explained 46.67% of the variance in results. Additionally, the students showed great appreciation for the flexibility and comfort related to online learning. They also acknowledged that online learning helped improve their academic performance, increase their motivation, share ideas, and interact with peers in groups. However, the students expressed their dissatisfaction with online learning with respect to reduced interaction with the instructor, the increased sense of loneliness and isolation, the inability to cater for the variety of learning styles, and their inability to control learning. The results are interpreted in terms of the existing literature and the Multimodal Model of Online Education.KEYWORDS: Online learningCOVID-19multimodal model for online educationnon-L1 learning environments AcknowledgmentsThe researchers thank Prince Sultan University and Florida Gulf Coast University for funding this research project through the research lab [Applied Linguistics Research Lab - RL-CH-2019/9/1].Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe researchers thank Prince Sultan University and Florida Gulf Coast University for funding this research project through the research lab [Applied Linguistics Research Lab - RL-CH-2019/].

ABSTRACT Studies on Family Language Policy state that the shape of family multilingualism is embedded in diverse conditions within and outside the family, like historical, social and political factors, which influence family language practices. In this regard, the monolingual orientation of early childhood education (ECE) institutions in many European nation states is in tension with dynamic family multilingualism, thereby constituting a potentially conflict-prone relationship. In this article, we would like to illustrate this with regard to language policy in ECE institutions in Germany, drawing on empirical data from a new teaching research project on Family Language Policy of multilingual, (newly) migrated and/or refugee families. Our analyses reveal that parents are aware of selection in education based on language as well as a hierarchical language order. Family language practices are shaped against the background of the prevailing language policy in ECE institutions.
