Abstract


Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, online teaching and learning have refashioned education into a different norm. Teaching, which was previously relied on instructors’ sole role, is now shared with technology integration. The part includes assisting students in learning in a more versatile and open environment known as an online environment. However, this knowledge-gaining process method can occur in a prolonged or never-ending process if not conducted correctly. An instructor and students being away from each other have been posited to acquire less meaningful interaction, more work, and poor infrastructure, which can impede a smooth teaching and learning process. Hence, this study aims to discover students’ perspectives on their ESL instructor’s online teaching of English courses. The responses are sought to enhance the instructors’ delivery skills and effectiveness. The reactions were retrieved through questions interpreted using coding and put into several themes. These findings will be helpful for the instructors to improvise their teaching skills aside from upgrading any possible ground matters to optimise the students’ motivation in gaining knowledge online. This discussion is also for instructors to determine how best to deliver online teaching at home during this challenging period.
