This research aims to explore to what extent EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners in South China are ready for online English learning. The data of 128 first graders at a private undergraduate school who gave opinions in the form of a study skill scale were gathered and analyzed. By conducting correlation analysis and regression modeling it was found that the samples have a relatively moderate readiness for online learning. Among the four dimensions, technical factors play a significant role in determination of readiness while motivation, time and communication exert limited influence on it. As a result, for further promotion of online learning it was suggested that practitioners could take technical issues into consideration, and it was also conductive for researchers to carry out further study in different contexts and take into consideration the contextual factors in readiness for online learning.
