  ABSTRACT: Foreign language instruction faces special difficulties due to the growing popularity of asynchronous learning in higher education, as foreign language instruction has historically placed a strong emphasis on contact and prompt feedback. This article aims to pinpoint and examine the challenges faced by instructors and learners in asynchronous foreign language classes. This article examines the findings of mixed-method research methodologies to problems that obstruct language learning and fluency development, including low student engagement, challenges in giving timely feedback, and a lack of in-person interaction. Although asynchronous learning is flexible, it requires creative teaching methods and cutting-edge technology to support foreign language instruction properly. To overcome the challenges of teaching foreign languages in an asynchronous setting, recommendations include the use of technologies that promote motivation and the use of effective feedback that impact linguistic abilities.
