This study aimed at investigating the use of resources and activities for English language learning after class time by English-majored students at University of Foreign Languages, Hue University. To reach its goals, a mixed method approach was adopted, involving the use of a questionnaire delivered online to 200 surveyed respondents via Google Form and in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with 10 interviewed participants. The findings clearly reflected the transition of the conventional language learning inside the classroom to the most current online/computer/mobile-based language learning beyond the classroom, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides, the results expand the realm of English learning far beyond the confinement of the classroom to encompass not only self- directed naturalistic language learning activities but also self-instruction and naturalistic ones. In addition, the results from the study also shed light on various factors affecting learners’ decision-making process regarding which resource and activity to choose. These ranged from the availability of the resources, the requirements of the current curriculum, learners’ preferences and needs, influences from teachers and friends to identity construction. Besides, a positive relationship between the frequency of use and the perceived utility of resources and activities in improving their English proficiency was also reported by the students. Particularly, they believed that employing the resources and activities for English language learning outside the classroom might exert beneficial influences on their pronunciation, vocabulary, and listening and speaking skills Despite reaping great benefits, participants in this study also encountered some obstacles while learning English outside the classroom. These included the lack of teachers’ guidance and support, the attention shifts away from learning to entertaining, the worry about the reliability, accuracy and appropriateness of the information sources, and the unavailability of certain resources.
