ABSTRACT
Outcome-Based learning is becoming more and more popular worldwide since the 1980s, and now it is a very vital approach in education. This study aims to examine the satisfaction of undergraduates with their learning outcomes of EFL attainment based on the four English skills which include: listening, speaking, writing, and reading, and also their learning activities perceptions and assessment tasks applied in the class. The study participants involved 300 third or fourth-year students who had completed the four courses of General English (GE) and did different disciplines at Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The study employed both open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires as data collection instruments. Data were analyzed by content analysis and descriptive statistics. From the findings of the study, it was evident that a larger percentage of students were not very satisfied with their learning outcomes, and those students had a negative perception about assessment tasks and learning activities applied in the class. However, a larger percentage of the students were very satisfied with the writing sub-skill. The study recommended that the quality of implementation of the EFL curriculum should be improved particularly at the university and generally at the Vietnamese tertiary level.
