STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF ONLINE LEARNING IN LEARNING ENGLISH

INTRODUCTION

Since the spread of the Coronavirus or COVID-19 in December 2019 in China, all of the

business region foundations and strict organizations held meeting that involved web-based

meeting stages for manageable exercises, one of them was picking up educational exercises. This

is referred to as a distance learning. Until to this point, the instructing and learning processes are

completed by carrying out the online learning. Electronic learning (E-Learning) is viewed as the

most suitable technique and method for managing the educational and learning process.

Presently, practically all organizations are holding online meeting because of the lockdown

connected with COVID.

During the COVID pandemic in Indonesia, the phases of E-learning recommended by the

public authorities were the Learning House stage, made by the Indonesian Ministry of Education

and Culture, and SPAD, made by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education
for PT. Numerous online-based applications are utilized in the teaching and learning process.

The utilization of web-based learning-based applications is viewed as the most fitting method for

livening up close and personal meeting. Specific learning resources for instructors and

understudies. The Ministry of Education and Culture works together with a few online learning

applications, like Sekolahmu, MejaKita, Ganeca Digital, Smart Class, Ruang Guru, Quipper

School, Cisco Webex, Zenius, and Google Classroom. While France-Presse stated that some

platform options that can be used are Facebook, Google Meet, Zoom, Skype, etc. (Hastomo &

Zulianti, 2021) states that one of the most common video conference applications that are used in

online learning is Google Meet. Google Meet is one of the most commonly used video

conferencing tools for online learning.

Google Meet is a helpful video service to communicate. The interface provided by Google

Meet allows users to meet face to face directly and effectively, but it is also very portable and

fast. Management is not difficult and can be used for many participants. This application has

been regularly used to teach online classes in order to minimize the number of offline classes.

Google Meet is a platform that allows students to learn while dealing with the pandemic.

Online learning has advantages and disadvantages for both teachers and students during the

pandemic. As a result, teachers and students must adapt to using Google Meet or other

conference applications as online teaching material in the classroom. However, not all teachers

and students are able to immediately adapt to diverse online media or platforms, as online

learning requires time for teachers and students to adjust.

Regarding this, students have their own perceptions of the online learning system which is

considered a new system for them. Especially in English Language Teaching. As mentioned in

the previous study, the online learning system is different from traditional learning (Rifiyanti,
2020). It is mean that in online learning, learners and teachers do not meet with each other

directly.

Perception is the object, occurrence, and relationship experience acquired by resuming and

interpreting message knowledge (Rakhmanina et al., 2021). It gives a sense to stimulus-response

that includes focus, hope, motivation, and memory when resuming information and predicting

messages. Likewise in English Learning. Students' perception of online learning in this case is

very necessary. Because it concerns whether or not they take classes effectively and involves

student learning motivation. This student perception will later become a benchmark for how

teachers and students respond to this in ELT.

Previous research has been discussed regarding the perception of using online learning

tools for English subjects such as online blogging, via Facebook, Whatsapp, Edmodo, and other

social media. And all of them have a positive vibe to them. Then, in this research, the researcher

want to know the result, describe it, and conclude it in this library research.

The current review will then be beneficial for researchers who are interested in English

teacher preparation programs, especially in EFL context. The purpose of the present review is to

answer the following questions:

1. What are the most important findings from studies on students' perceptions of online

learning in English?

2. What kind of study has been done in this area?

3. What implications do the studies have for future research in the field?

4. What are the implications of the studies for Indonesian academic contexts?
 METHDOLOGY

State the type of study

Initially, the criteria for searching in the field of students' perceptions of online learning

in English learning were simple key words like "students' perceptions of online learning,"

"online learning," and "students' perceptions of online learning." The search only generated a few

results, none of which were really relevant. It was then expanded by combining keywords like

"in learning English" with "student perception." The Google Scholar, Academia, and Research

Gate websites generated lots of results. Due to the impossibility of analyzing lots of articles, the

search strategy was modified. Furthermore, one of our goals was to explore students' perceptions

of online learning in the context of learning English material. In learning English in developing

countries, such as Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan, we eliminated subjects relevant to students'

perceptions of learning.

We search publications and papers from databases such as Google Scholar, Academia, and

Research Gets after narrowing the scope of the required analysis. We use phrases like "students'

perceptions of online learning." We limited our research to only publishing empirical research

articles in journals. We excluded dissertations, book chapters, books, online pages, reports, and

conference proceedings from the current analysis. This was in keeping with the goal of the study,

which was to identify gaps in the existing research literature in English teacher education

programs in EFL settings. I did not limit the time span of the publication in order to obtain a
diverse set of results. Utilizing relevant electronic databases and examining the lists of references

in the articles identified as part of the search.

From searching the journal databases, I found around twenty empirical studies containing

the terms English Learning in the articles. This included the perception students to online

learning in English learning. However, after manually sorting the articles, I selected 15 articles

that are relevant for the current analysis. Articles and papers are selected carefully. Not all of

them relate thoroughly to the related research topic. However, these selected papers and articles

are very helpful in collecting data from the topics you are looking for.

To answer the questions above, the selected studies were analyzed using a topic table (grid

template) by separating some of the findings in their research including the topic investigated,

research objectives, research sample, methodology, and research findings. In this case, the

discussion is grouped into study focus, methodology, and main findings.

FINDING AND DISCUSSANT

After reviewing and reading previous research in several journals and articles related to

students' perceptions of online learning in English learning, we grouped several important points

in one table below.

Based on the findings that we summarize in the table, many of the previous researchers used

questionnaires, survey contents, and interviews as instruments for collecting data and a

descriptive approach in the study. The result reveals many positive about their perception of

learning English. Positive responses from students indicate that online learning is effective in

learning English. This positive perception is evidenced by the findings supported by valid and

accurate data. This is an important finding in this research.

 After reading and reviewing the previous study, it is certain that the type of research that has

been carried out, in this case, is an empirical study. Where the researcher goes directly to

research by using students as participants and research subjects. So that the data is taken directly

from participants and research subjects.

The implication of this research for future research is that it can be a reference for

researchers who will contribute to this topic. And in the academic context, this research can be

used as a reference for making decisions and acting in ELT, especially in online learning in the

future.

CONCLUSION

The spread of COVID-19, which is still a problem in various fields, especially in EFL,

means we need an appropriate learning medium to teach during the pandemic. The findings of

current studies provide insight and information on the use of online learning as a learning

medium during the pandemic. These findings show that positive responses from students indicate

that online learning is effective in learning English. Previous studies provide valid data which

also states that online learning is effective in learning English. The students who took part in the

questionnaire and interviews in previous studies showed that online learning is effective as a

learning medium during a pandemic. The use of online learning is expected to reduce the spread

of COVID-19 in the school environment.
