Summary: 
The integration of digital technology is transforming the way English is taught and learned in higher education, enhancing flexibility, personalization, and students’ autonomous learning capacity. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and challenges of technology integrated English language teaching and to propose management solutions to support the organization and instructional support of teaching activities from students’ perspectives. Data were collected through a survey of 100 first-year students and in-depth interviews with 11 students at FPT University. The findings show that most students hold positive attitudes and express a high level of technology acceptance; platforms such as Google Classroom, MyEL, and Edunext enable them to become more proactive, track their progress, and receive timely feedback. However, based on students’ experiences, management practices remain limited in three areas: inconsistent platform use, insufficient digital skills training at the start of courses, and insufficient personalized learning feedback. Based on these results, the study recommends standardizing digital learning systems, strengthening the development of digital competence for both lecturers and students, and improving two-way feedback mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of technology-integrated English language teaching at the university level.
