Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has strongly impacted human life and brought various challenges and difficulties for learning and teaching all over the world. The massive development of information technology has brought solutions to deal with this new phase. Teachers implement online assessments to support learning and teaching English. There are previous studies about the effect of E-learning, but research about online tools such as Liveworksheets or Google Forms were rarely conducted, especially in Vinh Long province. Therefore, during the academic year 2021-2022, the researchers started a study on 120 students who used Liveworksheets and Google Forms as their assessment in class and even their homework during their Basic English course. After using these tools, students completed a survey that reflected their job with those online tools during their semesters. An online questionnaire was used in this study to collect data from 120 students in a university in the Mekong Delta. The current study is designed as descriptive research. In addition, both quantitative and qualitative research methods are used. The results show positive impacts on learner autonomy and learners' listening skills by using Liveworksheets rather than Google Forms. Besides, the study illustrates students' responses that gave both advantages and disadvantages of those tools. These results may be helpful for both lecturers and students to promote themselves in teaching and learning English.
