English education is a popular industry with tremendous business value and is worth further research on operation and innovation. China's English learning population is about 400 million, which is bigger than the population of the United States (Z. Li, 2020). Chinese students have been diligently studying English for many years, but most need help to obtain English proficiency after many years of learning. To address the research question regarding the online learning experience of Chinese English learners, the investigator applied qualitative analysis to discover the online education demand, the practical technology, and the immersive learning experience. Fifteen research participants between 18 and 23 years old were recruited and participated in the data collection. After coding and data analysis, eight primary findings revealed that Chinese people need affordable, flexible, and frequent online English academic-purpose education. Online English taught in live classes, and self-studying applications are two practical English-improvement approaches. Moreover, technology makes English learning fast, efficient, and convenient; internet-based small-size English-taught courses and internet-based live communication with native English speakers can create a satisfactory second language learning experience. The conclusions are powerful and meaningful and take the lead in the research of Chinese online English education involving the assistance of technology and identifying the elements that strengthen the effect of second language immersion.
